Green building defines the way buildings are designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in such a way that the negative impacts are reduced and eliminated. The green building ensures to impart the sustainability of a building environment for quality living of citizens. It is to be noted that, not only the structure of the building, but its entire life cycle—including designing, constructing, operating, maintaining, renovating, and demolishing—must ensure responsibility towards environmental and natural resources. However, there are numerous factors that influence the effect of green building. Further factors such as pollution control, air quality monitoring, adaptability to evolving environment, and materials used also need to be handled by the green building. Hence, this chapter focuses on exploring the various issues, challenges and opportunities of green building concepts. Further, this chapter addresses how IoT-based green building will assist in achieving the goal through other emerging technology such as cloud computing. |
