Author(s) : SIMHA R. V.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The starting point will be to look at "What is green?" and "What is a green building?". The voluntary pursuit of any activity which encompasses concern for energy efficiency, the environment, water conservation and use of recycled products and renewable energy, can be defined as "green". It is clear that "green" is a great deal about concern for energy efficiency, the environment, and water conservation. Concerns about these parameters also happen to be the current concerns of the HVAC industry. Any building which factors such concerns into design and execution becomes a "green building". From what follows in the rest of this article, it becomes clear that these points are being addressed by the industry, but more importantly, there is another point that emerges equally clearly, that there is scope for a great deal of improvement in implementation of the various strategies and methods available today. Being constantly on the lookout for new strategies is an on going process. The author looks at various elements of the HVAC systems, element wise, and also the various systems themselves.
