A Review on Conversion of Existing Building into Green Building

Green building construction has resulted in a slew of inventive solutions to lower energy usage. The requirement to develop a unified dimensional model for resource-saving, and environmentally friendly is a problem for assessments of green renovation (GR) of existing structures. India has three mechanisms viz. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) GRIHA (The Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) are in place to help its fast-rising urban population to achieve ecologically sustainable growth. An attempt has been made here to review the conversion of existing structures into green buildings to save natural resources. It will be beneficial for the people who renovate their buildings or want to change to the green building concept. Green building implementation has become a need to optimize the scarce resources and to eliminate the negative impact of early cost surcharges on the green building idea should be eliminated. This review paper aims to find the solutions for existing buildings to convert them into green buildings and how life cycle cost analysis is important for the building.
