Green Building Guidance
Conventional buildings don’t have sustainability because of the approach of designing and the construction method. The total energy consumption calculates for all buildings account for up to 40% in India, and commercial and residential real estate combined will account for more than 2000 TWH of energy consumption by 2030. India has an expected energy deficit of around 12% which is one of the major hurdles for the government. This will result in a further increase in electrification in all areas. Green buildings utilize fewer resources and are healthier to live in. They offer significant operational cost savings compared with conventional buildings. In effect, green homes can expect a 14 percent savings in operational costs over five-year savings for new green buildings and 13 percent savings in operational costs over five years for green retrofit and renovation projects. Building owners also report that green buildings, whether new or renovated, give a 7 percent increase in asset value over conventional buildings.
Biomimicry and Sustainable Building Performance
This book on biomimicry assessment tools studies the concepts of sustainability, sustainable construction practices, and the evaluation categories that constitute a sustainability assessment tool. By exploring and drawing lessons from biomimicry principles, the book provides a nature-inspired assessment tool to aid and guide the sustainable transformation of the built environment. The book encapsulates the attributes of the conceptualised biomimicry assessment tool, which is aimed at helping practitioners, regulatory bodies, and governmental and non-governmental agencies in greening the built environment. Owing to the dire need for country-specific and tailor-made tools that address developi...
Smart Energy Practices for a Sustainable World
Mankind has scaled unprecedented growth since the advent of the Industrial Revolution. However, this progress has come at the hefty cost of environmental degradation. Climate change, undeniably, is one of the biggest challenges of the planet Earth and is largely anthropogenic. In the modern-world context, the phenomenon of climate change is one of the most defining issues, when it comes to realizing objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate change is not limited to geographical boundaries, it is a global problem, hence requires global solutions. It has been widely discussed and therefore has acquired centre stage across the major world forums. Smart Energy Practices for...
Green Buildings
Green Buildings is a compelling exploration into the sustainable architecture and design revolution that has taken the world by storm. Penned by an expert in the field, the book delves into the intricate tapestry of eco-friendly construction, offering readers a comprehensive and insightful journey into the realm of environmentally conscious buildings. From the foundations to the rooftops, the author meticulously examines the principles and practices that underpin green building design. Each chapter unfolds a new layer of knowledge, guiding readers through the integration of renewable energy sources, innovative materials, and cutting-edge technologies that contribute to the creation of enviro...
Sustainable Building Design
This book bridges the gap between research and practice in the area of sustainable design of buildings, exploring the passive (climate-responsive) design and thermal behavior of buildings and ways to incorporate these enhancements in architectural and civil engineering practice. It presents climatic data and its analysis in a readily usable form and shows ways in which such data can be used to achieve passive (climate-responsive) and sustainable building design. The book presents case studies of sustainable building in each of five climatic zones of India. The book includes climatic data from 62 cities in India and describes how it can be synthesized in sustainable building design. The book can serve as a practical tool or handbook for architects, engineers, and designers, providing them with an understanding of the physical phenomena involved and a means for suitably implementing and applying passive (climate-responsive) design principles. It also offers a valuable resource for researchers, students, and policymakers working in the area of sustainable building design and construction.
Research and Innovation Forum 2022
This book features research presented and discussed during the Research & Innovation Forum (Rii Forum) 2022. As such, this book offers a unique insight into emerging topics, issues and developments pertinent to the fields of technology, innovation and education and their social impact. Papers included in this book apply inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches to query such issues as technology-enhanced teaching and learning, smart cities, information systems, cognitive computing and social networking. What brings these threads of the discussion together is the question of how advances in computer science – which are otherwise largely incomprehensible to researchers from other fields – can be effectively translated and capitalized on so as to make them beneficial for society as a whole. In this context, Rii Forum and Rii Forum proceedings offer an essential venue where diverse stakeholders, including academics, the think tank sector and decision-makers, can engage in a meaningful dialogue with a view to improving the applicability of advances in computer science.

[ ] With Design: Reinventing Design Modes
This collection stems from the International Association of Societies of Design Research (IASDR) congress in 2021, promoting the research of design in its many fields of application. Today's design finds itself at a critical moment where the conventional ‘modes’ of doing, thinking and application are increasingly challenged by the troubled ideology of globalisation, climate change, migration patterns and the rapid restructuring of locally driven manufacturing sectors. The volume presents a selection of papers on state-of-the-art design research work. As rapid technological development has been pushing and breaking new ground in society, the broad field of design is facing many unpreceden...
GREEN BUILDING TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The Green Building Concept for Auric District Office City, Aurangabad at Shendra has been evaluated - Project details for District Office Green Building Auric City. The AURIC Hall building comprises a building of total 8 floors, including a lower ground floor, ground and five upper floors, and a terrace floor.

Designed as a Grade A office building, the floor-to-floor heights in the building are 4.2 meters. Floorwise general activity distribution of AURIC Hall: Lower Ground floor: Parking, underground water tanks, building STP, Electrica...
Society and Genetic Information
The genetic era has given rise to significant legal dilemmas: who may own genetic data, when can a genetic test be performed on children, how can genetic-based discrimination be avoided, or to what extent and in what ways can genetic data be protected? The book addresses the social, ethical, and legal implications of collecting, storing, analyzing, and commercializing genetic information. Prominent biologists, medical doctors, lawyers, anthropologists, philosophers, sociologists, and theologians from different countries provide their views on the complex biological and social impacts of the imminent proliferation of genetic information. The authors explore the various uses and applications of genetic information, and discuss the current dilemmas of making laws in the field of genetics. Different models of national genome projects and biobanks, as well as the related international legal documents and national laws are also discussed. Various genome projects and biobanks are analyzed in detail.
