Abstract
The building sector is the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Buildings use about 40 % of global energy, 25 % of global water, 40 % of global resources, and they emit approximately 30 % of GHG emissions. These emissions are set to double by 2050 if we carry on business as usual. Buildings present the most impactful and also economical mitigation potential for GHG emissions globally. In this book, we look at several green building design technologies, including the design methodology itself (i.e. integrated design). A green and smart building is an interplay of various integrated design strategy such as passive and active design features, as well as water and waste reduction techniques, renewable energy integration, building management systems and controls, efficient operations and rating systems that allow effective benchmarking and performance analysis and guidelines for various stakeholders involved in the building industry.
