Emerging Trends & Technologies in Green Architecture

Green buildings contribute significantly towards achieving sustainable living. Green architecture promotes efficient use of energy and natural resources. Innovative building materials and eco-friendly designing improve the efficiency of a building. Today, technology and practices used to construct green buildings have evolved multifold. Here is a look at the emerging trends and technologies in green buildings.

1. Gypsum Panels

A cost-effective and durable way to construct a green building is to use glass fiber reinforced gypsum panels. GFRG panels increase durability and also eliminates the need of beams and columns in the building.

2. Living Walls & Vertical Gardens

Growing plants in a vertical manner is a practice that is gaining momentum today. Plants on the walls help enhance air quality of the building by reducing pollutants in the air.

3. Green Roofs

Covering roofs with vegetation moderates heat and keep the building cool. Plants do not allow direct sunlight to hit the building roof, hence temperature in the building is maintained.

4. Rain Gardens

Rain gardens are a technique to reduce the amount of rainwater runoff. Permeable membranes are installed along driveways, pathways, and lawns to allow maximum water to seep through. This way the rain water gets collected and can be recycled.

5. Solar Panels

Energy consumption is a key factor that defines sustainability of buildings. Installing solar panels on buildings reduces its dependence on conventional sources of energy. Since sunlight is a renewable and clean source of energy, it can be used to power a building.

Green architecture holds key to achieve sustainable living. Home buyers and developers are looking for infrastructure that promotes sustainable and improved living conditions. Choosing eco-friendly construction techniques leads to saving both environment and money in the long run.
