There is a buzz about climate change. Even if the activity is not palpable in all sectors of society and business, there is definitely an awareness that is spreading after years of active attempt by environmentally conscious individuals and organizations. The construction industry has also taken up the challenge. Green Building technology is being employed by conscious real estate developers, across the world – the motive of course is to save the Earth and not leave it ‘grasping for breath,’ while we indulge in so called ‘modern lifestyle.’
Green Building technology involves various aspects of construction; right from environmental safety to efficient use of natural resources, the broad concept is the health and well being of the residents as well as sustainable use of energy and natural resources that extends the lease on Earth’s life. The USP of such buildings lies in the appeal of long-term benefits. Ramnath City, true to its commitment to quality, has not discounted the environmental quality in building its world-class township. Here you are assured of a premium lifestyle, which is being created with the minimum burden on nature.
What do we mean by a Green building?
A green building is one, the construction of which does not affect the surrounding environment significantly such as interfering with its flora and fauna or polluting the water bodies, soil and air of the neighbourhood. It also implies that the building has been basically constructed from environmental friendly building material that are available locally and that the construction process is well designed to reduce the unnecessary pollution and negative effects on the environment. A green building uses resources efficiently. Plumbing elements such as water saving faucets, energy efficient power with the use of solar energy to run pumps and night lights in the township and use of energy efficient building materials that will help to keep buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter, makes a building ‘resource efficient.’ The reduced energy consumption and consumption of alternate sources (renewable energy) helps reduce the carbon monoxide footprint of the building on the environment.
Human safe materials are used in green buildings, so that you as an owner are assured of psychological and physiological comfort. Think of certified materials and treated water, open architecture, daylight-lit rooms, abundant greenery and open spaces; think of SGS and LEEDs certification; think of your family safe and secure, in comfort and at peace; all this and more is assured with Green Buildings, because the health and well being of the residents are given priority.
At Ramnath City, fly-ash bricks, certified wood and natural resources are being used. The construction is taking place by maintaining ecological balance with water cycle management, solar-powered pumps, ventilated spaces, etc. Technical assistance for earthquake resistant structures, plumbing and sanitation, structural stability and other technical areas is being provided by VNIT (Nagpur).
Ensuring a Pollution Free Zone for your Home
Experts say that there are three things that ready a home for a lifetime –easy visiting, easy living and easy maintenance. Most of the time, we never pay attention to all three aspects. There should be a point in life, when you can stop, take a deep breath and say ‘I deserve.’ I deserve to relax, I deserve to enjoy and I deserve to give. The tree-lined avenues, sculptured lawns, perfectly structured beautiful houses, spotless streets, an ambient life – you deserve it all.
One of the best ways to live in such a life is to opt for sustainability and environment friendly construction; constructions which leave enough green space, which will let the earth, breathe. The building and construction industry, across the world, is changing its ways to meet this demand. The task is not impossible and has been made easy by the fact that buyers have now realized that the best thing about buying a sustainable home is that it saves more in the long run than it costs in the short run.
Dedicated Green Builders are spending money and time to hire experts such as SGS testing services for testing product quality and performance against various health, safety and regulatory standards and achieving LEEDs certification. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or a LEED certification is a recognition that a construction project or building can attain by utilizing environmentally friendly building practices, during construction or remodeling. This is the Green Building Rating System developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. The model was developed in 1998 to encourage environmental awareness amongst government agencies, architects, engineers, developers, and builders.
At Ramnath City we have SGS doing the quality analysis and this association is aimed at procuring the LEEDs certification for the township.
All this comes at premium pricing; however, the long term perspective of integrating green building elements will result in energy savings and longer lasting building that will pay for the difference in initial investment and over.
Environmental sustainability is essential, as the dangers are real. So the best value additions happen, when we can give back to the earth what we relentlessly take from her. Sustainable energy and sustainable water are two very important areas of sustainable development. Fortunately, our city has 365 days of sunlight to make solar-enabled options a profitable, clean and green reality. So, with solar-powered street lights, you can add your effort to sustainability and save on electric bills. Walk that extra mile, say ‘yes’ to a lifestyle where being ‘green’ is ‘cool.’
Any crisis can be faced in a unified, planned way. What better inheritance can we give our children than a world class life where sustainability is the lifestyle? Since this is the only planet we have, it is a sensible decision to take care of it.
Ramnath City is creating this sustainable lifestyle. Are you there?
