INTRODUCTION

Why go green?

Homeowners and buyers have all kinds of reasons, although these, alone and in combination, tend to be the most common: These days, you don’t have to have a house sunk deep into the ground or one made from recycled tires for it to be considered 'green.’ Often some sensible touches can make a big difference. Like using sustainable materials like bamboo or cork flooring. Or

low VOC (non-toxic) paints and finishes. Or retrofitting your home with added insulation and "low-e" windows.

"Green Real Estate" takes on a whole new meaning when it refers to cost savings as well as to conservation. Maybe your home has a high efficiency furnace, low-e windows and recycled-content building materials.

The two main reasons you'll want to be thinking about a greener home are: 

Earth Savings Cost Savings 

80% of home buyers identify energy savings and comfortable surroundings as key factors when deciding between listings. So when it comes time to sell your home, be sure to promote its 'green attributes.’ We can help you make a persuasive case for being the best home on the market today!

Going Green to Save the Environment"Going Green" is a phrase referring to the pursuit of knowledge and practices that lead to more environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible decisions and lifestyles, thus helping protect the environment and sustaining its natural resources.

Looking for some easy ways to go green and help save the environment? This site explores information and ideas for going green, including tips, sustainable alternatives, products and current, related news items.

You can save energy - and money Given the astronomical rise in fuel prices in the past few years, it's no surprise that energy efficiency is the top reason consumers choose green building these days.

Traditionally constructed homes, while far more energy-efficient than those built in past decades, can still squander a mind-boggling amount of fossil fuel. Energy-conscious construction can significantly reduce that waste. Some of the savings come from materials that provide extra thermal resistance, such as straw-bale construction and insulated concrete forms. More can come from designs that maximize exposure to winter sun and minimize summer heat.

Green builders and remodelers also favor energy-efficient appliances and water-conserving fixtures.

"If you've done everything else you can to conserve energy, then it makes sense to look into generating your own power."

You can save your lungs A major cause: volatile organic compounds (VOCs) commonly found in paints, stains and glues. When these products dry, they release chemicals and continue to do so for years. This can exacerbate allergies and asthma, and cause headaches and nausea.

As a preventive measure, some homeowners opt for "low VOC" paint, natural stains and formaldehyde-free glue, which generally cost a few dollars more per container.

You can help save the planet The final reason you might choose this type of construction is less practical and more philosophical: You want to leave the smallest footprint you can on the planet.

That means planning construction to minimize the waste of building materials; reducing water consumption by adding low-volume toilets or rainwater filtration systems; and working with products that are sustainable (wool carpeting, bamboo flooring, cotton insulation) or recycled (salvaged wood, steel made with reused rebar, insulation made from paper products).

You can help conservation The builders while making a project cuts down many tress and forests for their personal uses, so there is loss of our environment . By using the Green Technology we can help for conservation by making or planting trees near a building or project .

Indian Green Building Council

IGBC((Indian Green Building Council) set out its journey to make India a global leader in green buildings in 2001.

The green building footprint achieved today is 224 million sq.ft and 347 buildings. The green building market in India is still only a trickle of the burgeoning Indian construction industry. To improve the quality of lives of every Indian, a billion green buildings are required - to live, learn, work, and entertain in a green environment. The economic downturn has made us all think hard about the value proposition of our investments. Green buildings are adopting integrated design rather than after-thought value engineering to optimize the life-cycle performance and return on investments.

IGBC`s mission is to reach out the green building concepts, services and products to every nook and corner of the country. IGBC`s engagement with all levels of the Indian industry helped spread the movement through local chapters. With 9 local chapters, today IGBC is represented in all regions of

India. 530 organisations have so far committed to the green building movement through the IGBC membership programme.

The local chapters assist in the organisation of this annual international conference-cum-exhibition. So far this has taken place in Hyderabad, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Mumbai. This year, we are back to Hyderabad. The day is not far when the Green building Congress comes to your city. Participants of the congress come to be informed, educated and involved in the green building movement. We have world-class speakers from across the globe to enlighten you on various aspects of green buildings during the international conference.

IGBC Green Homes Rating System

Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Green Homes is the first rating programme developed in India, exclusively for the residential sector. It is based on accepted energy and environmental principles and strikes a balance between known established practices and emerging concepts. The system is designed to be comprehensive in scope, yet simple in operation.

Eligibility

IGBC Green Homes Rating System is a measurement system designed for rating new residential buildings which include construction categories such as ..--

Individual homes

High rise residential apartments,

Gated communities

Row houses

Existing residential buildings which retrofit and redesigned in accordance with theIGBC Green Homes criteria. The project team can evaluate all the possible points to apply under the rating system using a suitable checklist. The project can apply for IGBC Green Homes certification if it can meet all mandatory requirements and achieve the minimum required points.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT :

Why are sites with environmental issues a risk?

1.Even if the property is leased, building on contaminated property or being a tenant can involve complications. Issues include worker exposure during construction and business interruption if site work is required later.

2. The cost of the problem can often be unrelated to the value of the property or the size of the transaction. Because the cleanup of soil and groundwater is so expensive, a small parcel can have a big price ticket. In addition there can be cases where a relatively small source affects a big area, such as when gasoline leaks reach an underground utility line and spread over a large area.

3. Many environmental issues are hidden and require special technical investigations to detect. As we will discuss below, a site doesn't have to be a factory or even an old gasoline station to have issues.

4. Environmental laws cover a broad range of commonly used materials, including fairly common fuels, cleaners, alcohols, acids and solvents, just to name a few.

5. Use of many regulated materials involves some degree of release to the surroundings or exposure to people, e.g., use of solvents in cleaning engine parts or use of acids in etching, therefore use resulted in contamination.

6. Generally, known environmental risks are difficult to insure against, however, coverage for unknown risks is now becoming available where there has been an adequate assessment of the site.

7. The environmental issues may interfere with the occupant or tenant's ability to continue normal business operations during a cleanup. An example would be the disruption of business resulting from the removal of soil from a parking area or driveway.

8. In the case of successive tenants or owners using the same or similar regulated materials, it may be difficult or impossible to separate the effects of one tenant or owner from the other.

9. In the case of nearby owners or tenants using the same or similar regulated materials, it may be difficult or impossible to separate the effects of the nearby owners or tenants.

10. In some cases, there are state sponsored programs which limit the risk of certain types of contamination.

11. Despite the risks, there are ways to manage the issues and sites with contamination are increasingly involved in transactions.

How can we protect ourselves?

Environmental Site Assessments ( ESA )

It the Transactional Screening indicates that there may be issues, the investigation becomes more intense. At that point, environmental consultants would need to become involved in the process and to address specific concerns. The company might develop guidance for when the consultants should become involved based on the outcome of the Transactional Screen. Consultants should be pre-qualified and under specific contract, including all required terms. They should be obligated to provide site work in keeping with industry standards. The company should attempt to avail itself of the possible protections in using another ASTM standard "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process," to the extent possible. This form sets the fundamentals for review of sites in a "Phase I" environmental review, now more frequently referred to as an Environmental Site Assessment or "ESA". It is however, not intended to be exhaustive and should be fine-tuned for particular sites and risks. Using the standard outline form from the standard helps in reviewing reports on many sites for completeness.

"If houses go green, they can save at least 30% of their electricity consumption and 50% on water. The cost of construction of a green house would cost 5% to 20 % more than a regular building depending on the facilities the customer wants, but there is a long-term benefit as you save up to 60% on power and water," says Deepa Sathiaram, who heads En3 green building consultants.

So what are the features that differentiate a normal house from a green' construction? A green building suitable for the city should have external shading, double wall (considering the heat penetration pattern of Chennai, only the west and south-west walls need to be constructed in this manner), and reflective tiles on the terrace to reduce heat and thereby save on air-conditioning. It should also have big windows so that sunlight is enough to light up the house during day. A green house puts rainwater to use in bathrooms and landscaping.

The Environmental Real Estate Survey

Given the fact that the property sector can play such a major role in the reduction of energy use and carbon emissions, it is worthwhile to map the current state of environmental management practices among the largest and most professional property owners: listed property companies and private property funds , This survey, which is the first of its kind, is intended to create an overview of the current level of integration of environmental management in all listed property companies and private property fundsacross the globe. The initiative focuses on two dimensions: the definition of an environmental management policy, and the actual implementation and measurement of that policy.The real estate sector plays a major role in energy consumption and carbon emissions. Buildings and their associated construction activity account for at least a third of world greenhouse gas emissions (RICS, 2005), while the U.S. property sector accounts for 70% of U.S. electricity consumption (U.S. Department of Energy, 2003). Building construction accounts for approximately 40% of the consumption of raw materials, including 55% of global wood consumption Some of the main issues that play a role inanswering this question include:· Real estate investors do not yet engage in large-scale energy efficiency investments because they are not aware of the profitable investment opportunities that are hidden in their buildings.· The market has not created the mechanisms and products to finance investments in energy efficiency.· The market does not provide the right incentives for building owners and managers to make investments in improving the energy performance of their buildings.· Recent market turmoil has diverted the attention of property investors and managers to resolving short-term, but immediate and important, other issues.

Builders View about Real estate with go green initiatives :

“ By instinct man likes to be with nature. His body and mind respond better to nature than man made spaces . There is nothing Better than nature to bring in a sense of utter relaxation . The architecture that we create should be as sensitive to nature as our skin. We try to create spaces with minimum intervention into nature, with architecture which is in harmony with nature . Care for nature, people and society as a whole is one of our prime values which is demonstrated in all our projects and our lifestyles . We approach our designs from different perspectives which enables us to innovate and make optimal use of the spaces by blending together two core necessities of a world class design ; Creativity and Modern Technology .”

Nayan A. Shah ( CEO – Mayfair Housing )

We have visited one of the current going project ( MayFair Meridian ) of Mayfair Housing Group. We have also asked some questions to the Engineer and Project In Charge . They have also answered most of the questions which we have asked. We have made a list of points which we have collected from them after visiting the site and consulting the Heads.

1. MAYFAIR SHOWCASE HOUSING is a very famous building group in the Mumbai area .The main office is located at above mentioned address.

2. Till now they have done 10 successful projects , and also designed 11 future projects in various parts of Mumbai region .Their projects includes not only Buildings but also Bungalows , penthouses , showrooms , shops , offices etc .

3. This builder always prefer to use French type windows in his projects .He also using these type of windows in his current project of Township at Virar ( west ).

4. He didn’t think of using photovaltaic cells in his project because of financial budget .but he proposes to use a solar cells in one of his project at virar.

5. He said ,” Alternatives materials are used in virar projectSand—instead of using sand , a special material called “ Ceal Foot “ , which is similar to sand is Eco –friendly .

Rock—Rock is crushed and used. This rock is taken from bare land .

6. He don’t think that there will b any waste material remaining , if it remains , it will be use in another projects .

7. Most of the remain materials is used in the next projects .8. Noise control----

Use of French window which has double gearing ( also used in JVPD Project) . There is a gap between window glass for reflection of noise . Outer glass is of max. 8mm and min 6 mm.Water control---

Rain water harvesting plant is being used, which is in progress. Toilet water is recycled in recycled tank and the tank is located

at the basement.

Water also used foe gardering gardens. Sensors taps are being used .

9. They have always a garden may be small , near the projects ,10. yes , they have making 3 Rain water harvesting plants.

“ Photos of Rain water Harvesting plant which is in progress”

11. They are using some of the G.G.I , He said ,” Eco-friendly and green interiors designs are should be incorporate . LEDs , light motions sensors , automation and sealed windows help conserve energy , while dual flush cisterns and low flow faucets help to conserve water .Natural fabrics with natural dyes should come to the forefront .

12.According to them their some projects are Eco –friendly .

13. They have special committee to handle the issues to handle natural disasters ,there building can withstand earthquakes.

Regd. Office : Akruti Trade Centre, 6th Floor, Road No. 7, Marol, MIDC, Andheri (E), Mumbai - 400 093

Email : - contact@ackruticity.comISO - CERTIFIED

1.At Andheri ( east ), near station, the group is doing project on full Town ship . Most of the buildings of society are completed, now they are making a 6 basement parking slots out of which 4 basements are fully Robotic to reduce the traffics .

2.Till now he has made 3 buildings at above mentioned address only and many more at various places . 3.He has also used a French type windows in his project for fresh air .4.He didn’t has the knowledge about the PV cells but he used a solar cells in one of his project to generate electricity .5.When we asked that if at some particular plans fails, then what about the alternatives then he told that he always have alternatives like if plan A fails then go for plan B and so on.6.About the waste material he told that, when we complete our project there is always possibility of waste remaining so the reusable waste he will use in the next project and the non-recyclable waste are Dumped into Debris .

7. According to him there is less possibility of unexpected results from the materials because he always use standard material like..the material has been brought from RMC(READY MIX CONCRETE ) Supply and he also uses FLYASH material for concrete which is a byproduct( waste from other big companies ) which is used after recycling .8. They also have consultant with the BMC regarding the pollution handling . They always take care of the types of pollution till the projects get completed . After that it is in the hand of the society members .9.They don’t have enough space to create the Gardens near project but they always do the plantation of tress all around the building .10 .As the BMC has committed that all the constructing sites should have the Rain Water Harvesting plants, so they also have one Rain water harvesting plant in the current going 6 basement for parking project .11.They are not fully know ledged about the Go Green Techniques but they used some like Rain water Harvesting plant and French type window . And if the budget allows then he will use some of the Go Green Techniques like of using sensor tabs or making of Gardens .12.According to him his all projects not fully but up to certain extends is Eco – Friendly . 13.Their projects can withstand the Earthquakes because they have one special committee regarding these types of Disasters to handle .

14. He also has concerned about the consumption of Raw material and woods that’s why he uses byproduct like Flyash for concrete . He don’t want to comment about future . 15 .The Advanced Technologies he used is big Cranes , powder coatings , Green certified paints , Robotic parking slots etc.16.In his views Real Estate with Go Green Initiatives means Real Estate using the advanced technologies so that is can leads to saving energy , electricity , water etc. And human can live safely .

4. CHINMAY CONSTRUCTIONS 1 .Regd. Office : ‘RAIGAD’ , Rambaug Lane No . 1 , Kalyan (w) ISO - CERTIFIED We also visited to this building group. This is small construction group , not very popular one . We visited this site to know the facts that how the low budget builders are using G.G.I..or using it or NOT .We asked the same set of questions to one of Partner of this group, he answered all questions as---2.Till now we have 1 building at kalyan (w) , and this is our 2nd project. And we also plan for next 2-3 projects also.3.They don’t know about French type windows .They are using windows which is made of glass .4.No comments on use of PV cells or solar cells .for using these types of initiatives they need big budget also .5.They always have alternatives for any plan they decide , they try their best to achieve this plan .If some plan fails , at time , they go for the other plan reserved for this .6.if some unexpected results come from the alternatives then they will consult to their all staff and also to other building group friends .

“ photos describing the selection criteria of material “

7.The waste materials are generally dumped into the Debris as per the BMC rule .8.We always take care of pollutions by reduce machinery noise , planting trees , and BMC also helping them for it .9.yes , They have a tress all around their building or site .10 .They have one Rain Water harvesting plant which is under manufacturing .11.If they would get more knowledge about G.G.I, and if possible they will surely use Green Initiatives but till now they didn’t use it .12. Upto the certain extends they can say that their building is Eco- friendly .13.They have better materials in their projects so the building can withstand earthquakes but not 100% .14 .No comments on consumptions of raw materials and wood .15 .Advanced Technologies----

Big cranes Less noisy machines Special coating on the walls , green certified paints Standard POP material etc.

16 . We can save many things like water , electricity , etc if we use a Go Green Initiatives ,..it is a simple means of Real Estate with Go Green Initiatives .

Future for Green Real Estate

Eco-friendly homes are healthier, far less allergen and chemical-filled. Think constant clean fresh air and health-friendly materials.

Benefits of Green Homes

A Green Home can have tremendous benefits, both tangible and intangible. The immediate and most tangible benefit is in the reduction in water and operating energy costs right from day one, during the entire life cycle of the building.

Tangible benefits

Energy savings : 20 - 30 %

Water savings : 30 - 50%

Intangible benefits

Enhanced air quality,

Excellent day lighting,

Health & wellbeing of the occupants,

Conservation of scarce national resources

Enhance marketability for the project.

As we continue to find ourselves in a situation where natural resources are getting depleted at rapid rates, it becomes imperative that we consider as many options to bring ourselves closer to the environment, and to the use of eco-friendly, non-depleting resources as possible.

Take the case of fossil fuels; they are both depleting as well as non-eco-friendly, with harmful emissions being a resultant of their consumption. In such a scenario, the use of solar energy as well as wind energy can be excellent alternatives.

While the usage of alternative energy sources like the aforementioned is being explored in diverse situations, real estate is one such area where the same can actually be used effectively. In addition to the obvious benefits to the environment, long term cost savings are also multifarious. In this article, we look at some of the ways in which you could incorporate green architecture initiatives into your construction.

Usage of LEDs and CFL Lamps

LEDs and CFL lamps are an excellent way of conserving energy; their intuitive, inherent technology allows significantly reduced electricity consumption for their usage. This not only results in more efficient usage of electrical resources, it also paves the way for major energy savings. Therefore, make sure you consider the option of using light emitting devices like the aforementioned, for your construction.

Usage of Solar Panels

Solar energy is one major energy source that is not going away anywhere, anytime soon (or so it seems!). Thus maximizing the usage of solar energy in real estate constructions makes ample sense. The relatively high initial costs of solar panels is what keeps a majority of realtors away from considering the usage of solar panels as indeed the overall implementation of solar energy in buildings. Yet, one should look at the long term implications that such an initiative would have, particularly the huge cost savings.

Waste Management

Waste management is one area where green initiatives can be applied effectively. Segregation of waste at the initial stage can save a lot of effort later, for waste disposal entities. Additionally, when applied effectively, you can actually recycle a lot of the waste that you generate, yourself, and use it for your own purpose. Already, numerous home owners across the country are using the biodegradable waste that they generate, as fertilizer for their own gardens.

Even though we did not want to commit to specific targets and quantified reduction commitments within laid down time-frames, India is serious about green initiatives and is well on its way to implementing them in future projects. The changes would come by way of spreading awareness, dispelling myths and educating the trade and industry in the benefits of going green.

One also learnt about the rapid progress made by the Indian Green Building Council in India and the prestigious green building projects being awarded the Platinum, Gold and Silver ratings already in operation in India, details of

which can be read in these websites, which also contains loads of information about what green buildings are all about.

Thus, as we can clearly see, the green initiatives that can be taken in real estate are numerous. Ultimately, common sense coupled with a drive from within to implement such initiatives and make a difference to the environment would be the key factors in ensuring that these steps see the light of day. The only deterrent for going green, apparently, is the myth that project costs are prohibitive and unaffordable!
