The increasing rate of urbanization has created more and more burdens on the prevailing natural building material resources. The way of planning, executing, and evaluating a construction project is varying day by day due to the effort of incorporating sustainability into construction project management. Due to the deficiency of knowledge and slighter client participation, sustainable project management has been marginally practiced in the Indian construction industries. This article attempts to review the situation of Indian construction industries in terms of the extent to which these industries are making use of sustainable tools for design and also highlight some of the key impediments in the way of endorsing sustainability in project management.

For the sustainable built environment, Green Building technology is the most widely adopted trend worldwide, however, it is in a nascent stage in India. Even though the use of green building technology is advantageous over the lifecycle of the project, people are hesitant to adopt. Therefore, this study aims at identifying the critical factors affecting the implementation of green buildings in India. For this purpose, an extensive literature review was done to identify factors affecting the implementation of green buildings. In total 27 factors were identified which may be critical for the adoption of green building technology widely in an Indian context. The questionnaire was prepared using the five-point Likert scale. The questionnaire was sent through emails to 150 consultants in India and 52 valid responses received in return. The primary data is analyzed using factor analysis. The critical factors found are time and knowledge constraints; technical constraints; authenticity of research and awareness about Green Building. Though the findings of this study are based on the small sample size, it will be beneficial to the policymakers

Review on the Literature Available on Green Buildings

From late 20 th century, the development in construction field has seen asubstantial change in itself. Since the demand of housing is ever increasing with increase in population, this need has to be coped up with all the resources available. However, the energy sources available to the mankind are limited and depleting rapidly. This in term will affect the situation enormously since the demand cannot be copied up with available resources. And this will result in depletion of resources at a great extent creating major problems. To tackle this situation, various options are available. Green building construction is one of the effective option and can be used instead of normal construction since it is more energy efficient. In general the cost of construction of green building is high as compared to normal but the overall cost of the building including maintenance is comparatively less. This research study focusses various data available for study about green building and various trends available about the green building and also the comparison between sustainable building and conventional building.

Green building technology is one of the most trending topics all over the world which is been put forward to reduce the significant impact of the construction industry on the environment, society and economy. The globe is in an urgent need of sustainable and a smart development as the problem of pollution and global warming is rapidly increasing all over the world. A drastic climatic changes also been noticed and being experienced all over the world due to increase in the Green House Gases (GHG's). In the developed countries like United States of America, Russia, Australia, United Kingdom, there are already strict measures been taken to achieve a sustainable development and also rules and regulations are been made by their respective governments to support and achieve a sustainable and an eco-friendly development of their nations. However, in the developing countries like India, China, Priyanka, Pakistan, etc., they are far behind in achieving a sustainable development and eco-friendly constructions. Also, there is a lack of awareness amongst the people about this global issue in these developing countries. The studies and the research work in these countries is also way far behind as compared to the developed nations in the world. This paper suggest some methods to opt the concept of green building without with minimum changes in cost needed for construction as compared to the conventional building. Also, it includes the sustainable and economic studies with references to the Indian contexts with a supporting live recent case study of a newly designed and constructed luxurious residential bungalow in a small town in India. The case study is specially selected as a residential building which is designed and constructed as a sustainable and a green structure. Increase efficiency in life cycle cost of building with the help of green building materials is the main motive of this research. This research study is related to selection of materials, which take less cost with same material properties after analysis of materials with the help of Revit software. This research study compares normal building and green building in construction and operational phase. This research will also helpful to find out how much extra cost required to construct green building and how much cost saves in energy consumption in life cycle period of green building.

Abstract: Conventional buildings produce high amount of greenhouse gas, large quantity of construction and demolition debris (which decrease landfill capacity), disturbs the natural resources and also it consumes a big part of energy and water. Implementation of various simple and sustainable techniques practiced individually can help in many ways to create a structure that is environment friendly, consumes minimal natural resources and at the same time be economical in nature. This paper makes an effort to study the Green Building construction method and new technologies which enables to create a sustainable structure. It also includes design concepts of Green Building, methodology and materials requirement and ideas and suggestions to create a checklist for a builder for him to refer the various suggestions in every phase of construction of a general structure Keywords: Green Building, Energy Consumption, Green materials, Green Roof, Green Wall, , Pottery Wall

The size of public improvement in India is and will continue being gigantic, driven by financial and populace development. The development and the utilization of structures, driven by fast urban extension, are probably going to force massive weight on the typical habitat. The essential goal is to decide the imperatives and reasons for hindrances to usage. The necessity for possible advancement in the development part has turned out to be huge in the most recent decade for the most part because of the generous asset utilization and tainting structures create. The poll review was led by experts who have involvement about Indian green building market. Construction contractual workers assume a fundamental part in the documentation required for a green working as a component of accreditation from LEED/IGBC. The paper tends to rising green building development in India' markets in light of the verifiable audit and calls attention to future bearings of research

India is experiencing an incredible growth in the construction and real estate industry. Due to this rise in the construction sector raised many issues related to the environment and sustainability. As per economic policy forum, inits report mentioned that in India the energy consumption in buildings is for heating, ventilation and air Condition eraccounts for between 45% and 65% of total electricity consumption. Another study states that the construction sector of India emits about 22% of the total annual emission of CO2 which is very harmful for the Environment. So to handle the adverse situation a new and important concept is emerging in India that is Green Building. So this article gives you the understanding about the green buildings, How the green building get rating from the rating agencies, Importance of green buildings, and examples of some companies and organization that are taking the advantage of green wave and is flourishing. In this paper an analysis has given to compare between Normal buildings and Green buildings and its economical analysis.

Since the energy crisis in the 1960s, crucial research and activities were spurred to improve energy efficiency and decrease environmental pollution. To deal with the various problems the construction industry are facing, the concept of green buildings (GBs) has been gradually shaped and put forward all over the world, and green building rating systems (GBRSs) have been developed. The concept of GBs covers a wide range of elements, and its definition is constantly updated as the construction industry develops. This paper compares the development of backgrounds and statuses of green building development in various countries. It also presents an overview of the green building development situation within these countries, summarizing two influences for GB development: one external and the other internal. External factors include GB development policy support, economic benefits, and certification schemes. Internal factors are the development and application of GB technology, the level o...
