Property Development and Green Buildings for an Energy Secure World

Urban space is much more dynamic than what a photo or article like this one can ever capture. The concept of an Energy Secure Future with Green Buildings should use resources and energy with a degree of simplicity and directness. The approach towards creating a sense of place, identity and belonging is to develop sustainable communities and improve the environment. Encouraging people to live side by side more closely will help the local ecology to flourish, because the community can utilise superior water stations and sewage treatment plants, as well as improving electricity consumption patterns.

Green building or green construction or sustainable building refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. It expands and complements contemporary building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
Some smart real estate developers in India are reported to be betting on green buildings - use less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste and healthier for neighborhood. Though it involve high cost compared traditional buildings, property developers see it as an opportunity, no wonder. Is it for planet earth or their own pockets - anyone's guess.

Many forward-looking companies and government agencies tasked with reducing their environmental footprint have adopted many products, such as solar panels, efficient lighting, and on-site fuel cells or biomass boilers. The energy load of buildings can also be significantly reduced by tightening the building envelope and thick insulation.

Many MNC firms are asking the question. As per CII-Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), 147 million sq ft of green space has been registered in India in more than 200 projects. With global energy crisis expected to worsen, investments in energy are increasing to saves fossil fuel. High cost green buildings, not traditional energy hungry ones, says some property developers in India.

But even as more technology becomes available, professionals in the field say that many people are still learning how to actively manage buildings using automated tools and software dashboards. Architects can even create commercial buildings that are net zero energy consumers, but it's often difficult to know whether a building performs that well over time.

Our planet is made hollow from inside by mining and poisonous outside with atmospheric emissions, we will soon be floating on a cosmic bomb! The systems that support us globally and in our cities are all well-connected. Sadly, our cultural dispositions drive us to override connected natural systems and connections with each other. If we were to include these concepts in our notions of sustainability, we might then propagate a culture tolerant of diversity in nature and cities and of honoring the half of our minds devoted to how we feel about our world and others, and hopefully we (especially the younger generations) might begin a less destructive journey into the future.
To start with, think of living without those energy-sucking fancy gadgets.
