CRITERIA FOR CONSTRUCTING A SUSTAINABLE GREEN BUILDING

Development of Zero Energy Building (ZEB) is an important issue in the sustainable development planning. The improvement in building thermal comfort passively helps in reducing energy utilization in the building, throughout the year. Different criteria are directly associated in reducing cooling and heating load of building when implement at the time of construction. In this paper the authors have analyzed the available literature on energy efficiency of building and presents detailed study about six important parameters which can be very helpful to construct energy efficient Green Building system.
