THE GREEN HOUSING SOCIETY

INTRODUCTION:-

HOUSING AS A NEED IN INDIA:-


In modern era of urbanisation, the density of people in cities is increasing day by day
because people from rural areas are migrating from villages to cities in search of
opportunities of employment. This increase in density has led to many problems and shortage
of land is one of the main problem among them.
Now multi-storey housing is the main solution to cater the problem of land shortage for
residential buildings. The multi-storey residential apartment provides a resident for a greater
number of people in a small area of land. Thus multi-storey housing has become necessity
in modern era of urbanisation.

WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING
Green building, or sustainable design, is the practice of
increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use energy, water, and
materials, and reducing building impacts on human health and the environment over the
entire life cycle of the building. Green building concepts extend beyond the walls of
buildings and can include site planning, community and land use planning issues as well.
Green building enhances and protects ecosystems and biodiversity and improves air and
water quality of the greater community.

As per 2011 census, the country had a population of
121098 million, out of which, 377.10 million
(31.16%) lived in urban areas. During 2001-2011,
the urban population of India grew at CAGR of
2.8%, resulting in the increase in level of
urbanisation from 27.81% to 31.16%. This growing
concentration of people in urban areas has led to
problems of land shortage, housing shortfall and
congested transit and has also severely stressed the
existing basic amenities such as water, power and
open spaces of towns.

WHY GREEN:-
The growth and development of our communities has a large impact
on our natural environment. The manufacturing, design, construction, and operation of the
buildings in which we live and work are responsible for the consumption of many of our
natural resources.
An international report confirms that the building sector consumes 40% of worlds
energy, 12% of its water and contributes 40% of the waste sent to the landfill and it is a
major part of the global problem.
Now a GREEN BUILDING can be a solution for this problem.
A Green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use energy, water, and
materials while reducing building impact on human health and the environment during the
buildings lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance,
and removal.
Takes an intelligent approach to energy.
Conserve and restore natural resources.
Safeguards our water resources.
Minimises waste and maximises reuse.
Promotes health and well-being.


WHY THIS PROJECT IS REQUIRED:-
In this modern era of economic boom in
India, numerous projects have come into existence and so are proposed. Developers are in a
rush to deliver their projects and they generally dont think much about environmental effects
of construction. This project will set an example of GREEN and SUSTAINABLE housing
project so that the other upcoming projects can be reconsidered to be designed as
environment friendly. This project will also provide a better inhabitant space above ground
level for their users.

AIM:-
The aim of the project is to achieve a housing apartment which is Green,
Sustainable and Environment friendly and which provides a better living environment for
the inhabitants.

OBJECTIVE:-
The objectives of this study are as follows:-
To study about the basic housing concepts.
To study about the construction techniques and methods of installing green
aspects in a building.
To study the Bye-laws
Analysing and applying the requirements on the proposed site.
To analysing the site and surrounding in terms of land form/terrain, hydrology
and morphology.


SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS:-
Redefining the urban sense of living of people through design.
Designing an environment friendly green housing complex.
Designing a new environment which is interactive in nature.
Designing while keeping in mind the health of the user.
The site for thesis is limited to 6 acres out of the whole land of 25 acres.
Due to land shortage we cant provide any big playground for interaction
between young residents.


METHODOLOGY: -
These are the steps of designing:-

Literature study
Identify the problem


Identify Design Requirements Site analysis Case study


Different stages of design Final design and model
Review existing theories + Review previous researches

SITE SUITABILTY:-
The site is located at prominent location in Sec-87, Greater
Faridabad. The site is just 15 minutes away from Delhi and also well connected to other cities
like Gurgaon, Noida and Ghaziabad. The site just is 5 minutes away from metro station. The
proposed F-N-G (Faridabad-Noida-Gurgaon) Expressway is under construction.
There are other housing projects in the surrounding of this site; therefore this project
does not go out of the context. The sec-87 is a residential sector and all the basic facilities
like school; hospitals etc. are just at a minutes distance from the site.
