Introduction The objective of the project was to design a green building or renovate an existing building to make it sustainable.
“Green or sustainable building is the practice of creating healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and demolition.” © EPA LEED is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes and neighborhoods, developed by the USGBC. “LEED 2009 For New Construction And Major Renovations” served as the main reference material for the project

ConclusionAnticipated Benefits of Sustainable Features
and Possible Implementation Problems
Concluding StatementsAnticipated Benefits of Sustainable Features
Reduced health problems such as allergic reactions, asthma attacks, headaches etc. (cleaner air)
Reduced electrical bills Reduced water bills Improved safety against fires Lowered maintenance costs of structural
and architectural elements (such as floors) Lowered Carbon – footprint of the building
(Low Global Warming Impact) Increased social contact (Vegetated roofs
can serve as community parks) Conservation of non renewable energy
sources Conservation of landfill space
Possible Implementation Problems
One technology may undermine the function of another e.g. use of certain ceramic tiles clashes with the function of the use of low VOC paints
Unanticipated costs related to implementation e.g. installation of geothermal heating system may cost a lot more than the estimated cost
Use of incompetent personnel for implementation may reduce impact of the features.
Requirement of separate personnel for implementation of each feature may arise
