Think, Design and Build Green

To usher in a Green Building Revolution, save energy and water and increase the productivity of the people working in the building, builders, architects and landscape designers are trying their best to protect the green environment by designing and constructing buildings accordingly, says Mariya Rasheeda.

The natural environment is the most precious resource we have as it sustain all forms of life on the earth. Due to the mismanagement of the environment many socio-economic problems have cropped up. To overcome these problems the World Green Building Council, a top global not-for-profit organization is working to transform the property industry towards sustainability. India is also one of its members. The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) is in the process of indigenizing the LEED Green Building Rating System to suit India. The IGBC mission is to usher in a green building revolution in India and to become one of the world leaders in green building by 2010. So, we can say that green is making its way everywhere and it is very much the in thing now!
