With the current scenario and by the rate at which the
pollution is increasing, there is an increasing trend to go for green products
and the eco friendly buildings. The green products using front line technology helps in increasing the energy
efficiency, improving air quality, reduce pollution and saving water. These
products serve in interiors as well as outside the buildings.
The very first thing is insulation of a building; it is to
keep a check on the heat flow of a building. No matter what the temperature is
outside but the inside conditions should be comfortable. The materials to be
used are fiber glass, mineral wool, virgin polyester and cellulose fiber. Lighting
is the other important factor that plays an important role in a building.
Today’s green products include fluorescent lamps, light emitting diodes and
compact fluorescent lamps. The eco friendly paints are also a significant
contributor. These help protect buildings from corrosion, UV radiation and
unwanted effects of rain and sunlight. The latest for interiors are not the
paints but the wooden flouring and organically made wall decorating paper.
The sunlight should be allowed in the building at hilly
places but in the desert or hotter areas it is a bit irrelevant. Green products
like matting (chatai) should be used as these are eco friendly and gives a good
decor. The green products have taken
a leap forward and these are preferable for a variety of reasons. Eco friendly
buildings are using these modern ages green products and systems like rain
water harvesting system, shade structures, wall and floor coverings, renewable
energy resources, green power reducing overall carbon footprint of the
building, improving the usability/aesthetic appeal of the building and being
more in synchronization with the nature/ environment.
