Abstract
Green ergonomics is defined as ensuring human and natural system well-being through understanding the bidirectional relationships between natural and human systems. Green ergonomics, the importance of design in achieving sustainability, and certification programmes for green buildings are the current buzzwords in developed nations, and which are picking up in India. Green ergonomics plays a role in the conservation and preservation of natural systems and, more actively, the restoration of natural systems. On the other hand, natural systems provide a range of resources that can be harvested by humans for a range of human benefits. Green buildings beneficially impact the environment, reduce energy consumption and improve employees’ health, well-being, satisfaction and productivity. The ‘IGBC Green Existing Building O&M Rating System’ is offered by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) for applying sustainable concepts for existing buildings.
