GREEN CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Green Buildings to society as this would enhance the awareness as well as scale up the requirement for Green Spaces in the market. This thesis follows the history of green building and its rating system. GRIHA rating system and the analysis made on the different criteria’s under it. The study involves understanding the actual costs in Green Building Project. The Study is done to analyses the tangible benefits one is entitled to get after implementation of Green Building Techniques based on case study of SJVLN Building, Shimla. The work involved is to quantify the cost incurred and benefits accrued by doing the Cost Benefit Analysis for the SJVLN Building, Shimla based on the assessment of the criteria of GRIHA Rating System. The Case being analyzed is a Multi Dwelling Unit which is a GRIHA 3 star rated project. It consists a total built up area of 14033 sqm. The analysis assumes a total lifespan of 30 years for the building. The operating and maintenance costs as well as annual benefits are assumed to be inflated at the rate of 5% every year. Year wise net benefit is taken and is discounted @ 12% to calculate the present value and by deducting the initial cost of we come to the Net Present Value of the building.
