Green buildings by AIS A green building is one which uses less water, optimises energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional building.

Green Buildings by AIS
Towards a greener, more eco-friendly way of living.

2. AIS What is a Green Building?
"A green building is one which uses less water, optimizes
energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates
less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants,
as compared to a conventional building."

3. • Integration of renewable energy sources to generate energy
on-site and use of energy efficient and eco-friendly
equipments.
• Efficient use of water, water recycling and waste
management
• Selection of ecologically sustainable materials
• Indoor environmental quality (maintain indoor thermal &
visual comfort and air quality)
Salient Features of Green buildingAIS
Thermal insulation
Eco friendly
Saves Energy

4. AIS AIS Green Buildings
As India’s leading integrated glass company, AIS has been
at the forefront of moving towards an eco-friendly future.
It has pioneered innovations in glass processing
technology to develop both single-glazed and double-
glazed products with the best ‘green’ parameters.
Energy efficient solutions from AIS enhances the aesthetics,
efficiency and economics of commercial and residential spaces,
compared to traditional building materials.

5. A green building rating system is an evaluation tool that measures
environmental performance of a building through its life cycle.
AIS Green standards
Three rating systems are followed in India:
•LEED India (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design)
•IGBC (Indian Green Building Council)
•GRIHA – (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment)

6. AIS
LEED-INDIA promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by
recognizing performance in the following five key areas:
•Sustainable site development
•Water savings
•Energy efficiency
•Materials selection and
•Indoor environmental quality
Green standards
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED-INDIA) is a
nationally and internationally accepted benchmark for the design,
construction and operation of high performance green buildings.

7. Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), in its endeavour to extend green building
concepts to all building types has developed the following rating
programmes to cover commercial, residential, factory buildings, SEZ etc.
AIS
Specific IGBC programs include:
•IGBC Green Homes
•IGBC Green SEZ
•IGBC Green Factory Building

• GRIHA, an acronym for Green Rating for Integrated Habitat
Assessment, is the National Rating System of India.
• It has been conceived by TERI (The Energy and Resources
Institute) and developed jointly with the Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy, Government of India.
• It is a green building 'design evaluation system', and is suitable
for all kinds of buildings in different climatic zones of the
country.

9. AIS Role of Glass in Green Buildings
• Buildings across the world have a tremendous
environmental impact during their life.
• Globally, Buildings are responsible for at least
40% of energy use. Construction of new buildings
generate large amount of solid waste that
disturbs natural habitat & vegetation.
• Green buildings offer immense potential to
reduce consumption & regenerate resources
from waste and renewable sources

10. • Green buildings consume 40% ~ 60% lesser electricity as
compared to conventional buildings.
• Green buildings consume 40% ~ 80% lesser water as
compared to conventional buildings, by utilizing ultra low
fixtures, rain water harvesting, waste water recycling etc.
• Green buildings generate lesser waste by employing waste
management strategies on-site.
Tangible BenefitsAIS

11. Intangible BenefitsAIS
•Enhanced air quality.
•Excellent day lighting.
•Health & well-being of the occupants.
•Conservation of scarce national resources.
•Enhanced marketability for the project.

12. AIS
• Glass being an important building material, it affects
design, appearance, thermal performance and occupant
comfort.
• Selection of glass has become more complex since a
variety of glasses are available to choose from, ranging
from performance to aesthetics.
• The properties of glass have become multifaceted, able
to perform a wide variety of functions, like Solar Control
to Thermal Insulation.

13. AIS Green Building Rating System
In India, ‘green buildings’ are rated as per two independent rating
systems:
• The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) rating system,
derived from the Leadership in Energy & Environmental
Design (LEED) .
• The Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA),
developed by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).

14. Key factors which play an important role in designing the
building envelope with glass are as follows.
• Solar Factor (SF) / Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient
(SHGC)
• U-Value
• Relative Heat Gain (RHG)
• Visual Comfort
Energy ManagementAIS

15. The future is green
• The idea of green buildings has now gained momentum, with
greater use of green materials like glass.
• The environmental impact of increased construction activity has
been on the agenda of Government entities and the Environment
Ministry.
• Construction houses are striving to obtain sustainability
certifications, to ensure a better quality of life and to help conserve
the environment.
• Living in harmony with nature is the surest way of ensuring a
sustainable future for the planet. ‘Green buildings’ are helping us
achieve that idea.
