  1. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The key objective of this study is to emphasize on the impact of efficiently using energy, water and other renewable resources, improving productivity of employees, thereby reducing waste, pollution and degradation to environment, further emphasizing on taking advantage of renewable resources, by using sunlight through passive and active solar/photovoltaic techniques, using green roofs, rain gardens for reduction of rainwater run-off, using packed gravel as permeable concrete instead of regular concrete and using asphalt to increase replenishment of ground water.

We have analyzed the above aspects using the Case study as detailed below with application of the basic Environmental Management framework, fundamental principles in building such buildings and the cost benefit implications of the approach.
