The reason why everybody is turning Green today can be attributed not only to environmental consciousness, but also to the fact that it has many benefits attached to it. Not only do you save up to 30% of energy and 50% of fresh water, but you also cause 70 % less air pollution.
And that’s the message ‘Green homes’ convey today. A Green home, through better setting, design, construction, operation, and maintenance, increases the efficiency with which buildings use resources — energy, water, and materials — reducing the building’s impact on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle. Every Green home receives a certification from IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) once it fulfils certain parameters.
Few builders in India have adopted the Green Home concept. Aliens Space Station 1 from Hyderabad is the first of its kind. They have the highest rating (Platinum pre-certification) by IGBC. Palais Royale and Mahindra Splendour (both are in Mumbai) are some others who have chosen to go green like the Aliens group. It’s still a long way to go but the trend is fast catching up. Embracing a greener lifestyle isn't just about helping to preserve equatorial rain forests, it also means improving your health, padding your bank account, and, ultimately, improving your overall quality of life.
