Green Building
?
A building, which is designed, built, operated, maintained or reused with objectives to protect occupant health, improve employee productivity, use wisely natural resources and reduce the environmental impact.

•
1970’s energy crisis – green building moved from research to reality
•
Reduce the reliance of buildings and homes on fossil fuels i.e. Solar panel
•
Environmentally friendly materials –replaced slowly
•
Good location
•
Close to public transport
•
Green home should be designed to encourage recycling, manage waste use and minimize energy use

Eco-Building in China
• The Eco-building plays a significant role in creating a sustainable, multifunctional urban environment. • China is a developing country, needs to promote economic development at the same time make sure that people's living environment is not damaged, so the Eco-building for China is much needed, and very urgent. • China’s government to promote the Eco-building systems progress was steadily in recent years. • The Eco-building not only to improve the environmental conditions of the city, while the quality of life of the people has improved significantly.
Questions 1. Assistance for eco-building (by government, how?) 2. Acceptability in general ? 3. Difference between eco-building and green building 4. Recycling of eco-building products or equipment?
1. Assistance for eco-building (by government, how?)
US LEADERSHIP in ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN • Government Grants • Tax Cuts • Government Subsidies
CHINA GREEN BUILDING LABEL • Subsidy : 2 stars (45RMB/m2) started 2012 • Gov. low income new houses must be certified (2014)
JAPAN GREEN BUILDING SUBSIDIES • Tokyo Metropolitan Government (Collaborative Project on Increasing the Use of Solar Energy) • Housing Eco-Point – Points Exchange
2. Acceptability in general ? Green building is smart building.
And once built, a green building delivers a lifetime of energy savings. Though savings (in both dollars and the Earth’s resources) are reason enough to build green, the benefits don’t stop there.
Green buildings are more comfortable, healthier, return higher productivity rates and have a higher resale value.
3. Difference between eco-building and green building

5. Recycling of eco-building products or equipment? • Sustainably Harvested Materials Sustainable harvesting is the practice of harvesting a resource no faster than it can regrow, so that there is no net depletion of the resource or damage to the ecosystem.
• Non-Toxic Materials Asbestos, Cadmium, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) , Lead and Mercury • Making Recyclable Constructions Materials are only recycled when the monetary value of the materials is greater than the cost to separate them out from other materials. http://sustainabilityworkshop.autodesk.com/buildings/green-building-materials#sthash.Y1Qs4gnP.dpuf
Conclusions Minimize adverse impacts on the environmental Maximize the use of renewable energy and other low impact energy sources Provide healthy, comfortable and productive indoor environment for building occupants and visitors More awareness and promotion about the green building is required Coverage of large area
