Australia – 31.08.2015 – One of the major challenges faced by human society today is that of ecological balance and energy efficiency in buildings constructed. Both these are complementary to each other. More energy efficient a building is it would be moiré ecologically balanced and that brings up the concept of Green Building.

Before proceeding further it would be expedient to understand the concept of green building first of all. Construction industry all over the world is growing at skyrocketing pace. But the evil impact of it is that the world is emitting into the atmosphere thousands of pounds of carbon die oxide annually. To offset the impact it is necessary that more and more greeneries are developed all around. Also construction of eco-friendly houses would make them more and more energy efficient. A recent estimate indicates that it is necessary planting trees on 2.15 million acres of land in United States alone where the total extent of land is 2.3 million acres only.

Buildings are found to make significant contributions in carbon emission all over the world. They are contributing nearly 40% of the carbon emissions. In the said background the pertinence of the greenhouse concept has assumed greater significance and the advices of experts like Marlon Kobacker also assumes much greater importance. Shares of residential and industrial buildings are almost equal in proportion resulting in carbon emissions. These buildings also count for around 40% of the total energy use including 71% of the total electricity consumption.

“With our blind run for development we have brought the mother nature to the verge of critical environmental conditions and this calls for a green revolution”, says senior ESD consultant Marlon Kobacker. He has been participating in various conferences and works as a leading consultant for the Engineering News Co that is a leading site providing all information as well as valuable tips on the green house concept.

“Green building involves incorporation of eco-friendly and energy efficient processes from inception of the construction work till its end. The process starts as soon as the site is selected for the construction work. It is followed by maintenance, renovation and also demolition. The basic objective is to seek minimal impact on the environment around”, continued Marlon Kobacker. He was addressing a conference of entrepreneurs from the construction industry who were in search of new and innovative greenhouse ideas.

According to experts the green building concept involves two components. The first is efficient energy use whereas the second is efficient water and mineral use. When these two processes are implemented it would reduce the impacts of buildings on human health as well as environment. This involves better site selection, designing, taking care of environment friendly construction, maintenance as well as removal during the entire construction cycle according to Marlon Kobacker.
