  1. GMJK Gunawardana Director Air Pollution Control & National Ozone Unit

  2. . Opportunity to work on Green Buildings Present day buildings have impact on environment 1- Buildings (Electricity + Heat + Construction) = 47.5% 2- Transportation = 25% 3 - Land-Use Change & Forestry = 22% 4- Other = 5.5%

  3. Why we need Green Buildings • In general, buildings account for a high proportion of resource use and waste generation, as follows: • 15% of potable water consumption • 30% of waste output • 40% of carbon dioxide emissions • 40% of raw materials use • 50% of energy use; and • 70% of electricity consumption

  4. What is a Green Building ? “A Building that meets the needs of present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs”

  5. Reducing environmental impact with green buildings Green building code and certification systems have proliferated recently as communities attempt to reduce the environmental impacts of the built environment.  Below mentioned three systems reduces environmental impacts on average between 0 and 25 percent across 12 environmental impact categories Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), ASHRAE 189.1, and the International Green Construction Code (IgCC).

  7. Incorporation of HPMP into Green Building Guidelines Zero mark for using HCFC based Refrigeration & Air Conditioning systems. However ban on importation of brand new HCFC equipment will be in force from 1st January 2018 Use of Zero ODP and Low GWP Substances- (Section 4 Materials – MR 8) – 03 Marks

  8. Incorporation of HPMP into Green Building Guidelines EE2- Electricity Sub metering : Encourage separate meters for Air Conditioning- (Section 1 Energy Efficiency -02 Marks) EE4- High performance of Energy Efficiency: Encourage Energy efficient ACs ( Inverter Technology etc)- (Section 1 Energy Efficiency -05 Marks.) 3. EQ3 –Design and Installation of Optimum Temperature Control Units (Section 5 Indoor Environment-02 Marks)It will help to minimize the usage of Acs.
