Conventional buildings are detrimental to the environment. Their construction not only causes immense amounts of pollution but is also responsible for almost 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The operation of buildings accounts for 28% of global emissions. These emissions are direct global warming-causing agents and throughout its life cycle, a traditional building plays a key role in causing climate change. 

It is an issue that needs to be addressed urgently. Several companies are now investing in green buildings. These buildings promise to build and support a sustainable future. This blog will answer all relevant queries on green buildings like ‘what is green building technology?’ and ‘what is green building certification?’ 

What are Green Buildings?

A green building is a structure that minimizes its environmental impact while improving the well-being and comfort of its occupants. It is designed to be sustainable from the planning phase and developers employ innovative designs to achieve sustainability. As a result, green buildings are also called sustainable buildings.

The main objectives of green buildings are to optimize energy consumption, deliver high efficiency, protect the environment and boost the productivity of its inhabitants. They also try to converse land, energy, water, and other resources to the maximum extent. To achieve its goals, the development of a green building requires the cooperation of architects, engineers, stakeholders, and consultants. 

In the next section, we will look at the various technologies that developers integrate into green buildings to achieve sustainability goals.  

What is Green Building Technology?

Green building technology refers to the innovative and modern technology that you will generally find in green buildings. These technologies are utilized throughout a green building’s life cycle, which includes phases like planning, construction, operation, and demolition. Some examples of green building technology are high-efficiency building materials, high-performance windows, and smart appliances. They are advantageous as they lower operating costs and are entirely future-proof. 

What is Green Building Certification?

Even though green buildings are only a recent development in the landscape, there are already many rating systems that identify which buildings are sustainable. The LEED certificate is extremely comprehensive and certifies the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings. The BREEAM is another certificate system used in several countries for both buildings and large-scale developments.

Benefits of Green Buildings

  • High energy efficiency: Green buildings optimize energy consumption by employing unique room designs and building materials with high material efficiency. For instance, passive solar building design and high-insulation walls provide natural heating while cool roofs prevent overheating in summer. Such mechanisms reduce daily energy demands significantly, lower the carbon footprint, and improve energy bills.
  • Limit waste production: Green buildings use sustainable materials called green building materials. These materials are eco-friendly and reusable. The manufacturing of such a material generates drastically less waste compared to conventional building materials like steel and cement. Some popular green building materials are hempcrete, lumbar, dimension stone, etc.

Additionally, green buildings also eliminate water wastage by providing onsite treatment solutions. The water used for flushing and washing cars is recycled and reused by integrating dual plumbing systems. 

  • Natural aesthetics: Green buildings utilize smart architecture by using simulations and models to ensure that the building complements the natural surroundings of the site. To do this, developers use materials from the locality and plan on-site renewable energy options according to the local climate. 

Go Green With Schneider Electric

The only way of combatting climate change is by choosing sustainability. Sustainability offers a green, stable future. Right now, building a sustainable business is the highest priority for reputed companies. Schneider Electric provides relevant solutions for constructing green buildings. Some of their services include sustainable improvements in your existing structure, decarbonization procedures, power optimization, and the production of effective recycling materials in buildings.
