Introduction to Green Buildings & Built Environment - Hardcover
Description
by S. Karthikeyan (Author)
The green building movement in India is spearheaded by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) since 2001. Today India is seen as one of the leading countries in embracing green building concepts, trends and technologies.
A time has come to dissipate knowledge on green concepts to young minds across the country. This would enable young professionals in contributing to the Nation's goal of achieving net zero by 2070.
IGBC has developed a comprehensive book titled 'Introduction to Green Buildings & Built Environment'. The objective of this book is to encourage, inspire and provide knowledge to young professionals so that they can include sustainability in any sphere of their careers.
This book is a one-of-a-kind publication, not attempted thus far in the country. Universities and colleges of Architecture and Engineering can adopt this book as a reference material to offer the subject of green buildings and built environment as an elective. Students can then take up an examination offered online to get accredited as "IGBC Associate Professionals' which can open up new employment opportunities.
The coverage includes basic principles, trends and techniques spread across five chapters, viz., Sustainable Sites, Water Management, Energy Management, Materials & Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality.
