Scenario of Green Building in India: Development of Sustainable approach

Abstract

Abstract This article furnishes a conceptual framework for applying principles of sustainability to the construction industry, The framework is established on sustainable parameters, which include economic, social, and environmental factors. The framework includes resource conservation, Building Bye-Laws, and design for building optimization. Each theory is explained after a thorough bibliographical review, and some initiative steps taken by the central government in India are presented to clarify the methods and strategies exercised during the life span of construction projects. The development of new technology is changing the way construction professionals think about the information they use to evaluate construction projects. This is because new technology provides a better way to collect and analyze information about construction projects. This enables construction professionals to make more efficient and effective decisions that can save time and money, thus improving the overall performance of the construction industry. The steps needed to be followed from applying to building assessment agencies to get certified according to the points achieved based on building performance. The objective of this paper is to analyze different parameters of sustainable construction, and the steps taken by the Government to embrace the Green Building concept nationwide, This paper also critically evaluates the amendment made in building bye-laws since their introduction in 2004 on both the center and state levels. These green building standards will result in strong political support to help create ecologically sensitive urbanism.
