Green building' is an idea almost everybody agrees upon, but very few dare to attempt because of prohibitively high costs and architectural challenges. But some steps like proper ventilation and utilization of natural light in new buildings could save the world a lot of energy and money. As of now there are only 10-12 buildings that have been officially ranked as green buildings in India and they are largely in the private sector.
Anything that is constructed keeping the harmony of the environment in mind, is generally known as green construction. If not meeting all the parameters like eco-friendly building materials, waste management, etc. energy saving methods could go a long way in contributing to the environment.
Researchers at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, USA, believe that buildings can be designed to encourage airflow and maintain temperatures that minimize or eliminate the need for conventional air-conditioning systems. They have come up with computer-based tools to help architects design commercial buildings that cool them with natural breezes.
A building can be turned green through several simple means such as using solar water heating systems, the state electricity boards also provide several rebates to green household on their electricity bill if they meet the specifications.
One of the rising trends in hospitality is eco-tourism. At its most fundamental, the concept of eco-tourism means being in harmony with nature and the local environment. Whether it is choosing a hotel that uses eco-friendly practices, going on nature treks and camps or experiencing the cultural heritage of a place, tourists are opting against the standard holiday plans and for locations where they can commune with nature. Many foreign tourists are interested in visiting places that have minimum adverse impact on the environment.
The latest LED lights can also be useful in turning you premise green since they are environment-friendly and have no carbon emissions.
