What is Building Green ?

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 03:23:31 +0000

Building green and sustainable design have become popular lately. The fundamental idea of green design is that a house should be planned with alot of care for its location. A great designer studies the sun angles of the site and understands the local climate well enough to create a positive balance between the interior & exterior. This kind of planning requires alot of work & may require a larger initial investment; however, it will more than pay for itself financially and in your enjoyment of your home.

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 03:23:25 +0000

With the ongoing development of international and national codes & standards have made possible of facilitating “green” fire-safety systems. Studies have shown an a huge increase as being a priority for building owners. The installation of environmentally friendly fire-protection technology can help a new or retrofitted building earn credits under the U.S. Green Building Council’s(LEED) Green Building Rating System. Fire protection plays an important role in overall building design and construction.

COST OF GREEN BUILDINGS

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:36:36 +0000

It was believed that the cost of building a green building is very high. But this myth no longer exists, as for a long run green buildings prove to be cheap since they are more durable, flexible and healthy to live in. Moreover, technology put into its construction results in saving on energy by solar conservation methods and also helps in saving water.

Minor distanvantages of green buildings

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:59:19 +0000

Though we have always been hearing of its pros but it does have cons too. The main con being additional costs in its construction. Another under cover disadvantage is the pollution it causes. It’s the indoor pollution I am talking about. We are locked into our homes that the indoor air becomes more and more polluted. Also, the lights which are environment friendly emit more radiations than ordinary lights and hence harm more.

Why green buildings?

admin — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:59:09 +0000

The construction of green buildings was started keeping in mind sustainable construction. By sustainable I mean which is friendly to the environment, leads to the efficient use of energy resources which we are already short off. They help us preventing huge percentage of pollution and wastage due to construction. Though research for new technologies for construction of green buildings are being done on regular basis for experts.

Liegonella control in Solar Systems

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 13:14:41 +0000

While solar power is the best thing for mother earth and the long term bottom line for energy use it does have its own issues. Legionella bacteria are found in water in the natural environment, but it is only in man-made water systems that the bacteria can exist in numbers high enough to cause disease. Controlling its numbers and spread is key for any solar powered building and it is relatively painless too. Make sure that your system is operating at peak efficiency and run the anti-legionella cycle according to your manufacturers suggestions. It all seems easy but it has to be done to make sure everyone stays safe and your solar heat is not wasted.

Time is right to fix old buildings

admin — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 13:14:28 +0000

With new legislation about it is the right time to tackle those old buildings and make sure they get up to speed in these eco-friendly and energy savings times. Using the Energy Performance Certificates as a starting point seems like a good idea to get the old buildings caught up to speed. Starting in October older buildings will have to have one of two certificates. The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required on construction, sale or rent of a non-domestic building (regardless of size). While the Display Energy Certificate (DEC) is required under legislation for large public buildings, over 1000 m2 in floor area where there is frequent visitation by members of the public. It looks like all those energy wasters will have to get up to speed quickly.

Cooling buildings while using 30% less energy

admin — Sat, 30 May 2009 13:14:18 +0000

Using a evaporative cooling has long been the most energy efficient method of rejecting heat from air-conditioning. When used in conjunction with water cooled chillers it can offer a energy savings of over 20% alone. For every 1 K reduction in condensing temperature reduces the power consumption of a chiller by 3%. Since the wet bulbs use 6 to 12 K less than the dry-bulb temperature, energy savings of as much as 30% are possible. The new systems also leave a smaller footprint so take up less space to install leaving more room for other things. All this means is that using a evaporative cooling system could be the ultimate Green Machine.

A two way chiller and heater

admin — Sat, 23 May 2009 13:14:06 +0000

A new design allows modern buildings to have their heating and cooling in one place. The water cooled chiller by Carrier have enabled this possibility. As air conditioning needs climb in the marketplace the need for more efficient methods has been the driving force for the manufacturer. The growing need for air conditioning while reducing energy consumption and associated carbon-dioxide emissions drives the development programmes of major companies. The new chillers that can also offer heat have been in development for a few years now and have finally been submitted for testing and been approved for use.
