IMPACT OF CO-BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDING ON SUSTAINABLE URBANISM

Abstract

It is now universally recognized that human-induced climate change could have major adverse consequences for the world’s ecosystems and societies. Climate change is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, which trap long-wave radiation in the upper atmosphere and consequently raise atmospheric temperatures. This also produces other changes in the climate system. Buildings consume nearly 40% of primary energy production globally. Certified green buildings substantially reduce energy consumption on a per square foot basis and they also focus on indoor environmental quality. However, the co-benefits from green building and the factors of reductions in energy and concomitant reductions in air pollution have not been examined. Carbon dioxide is the most important of these gases and its atmospheric concentration has increased exponentially since the beginning of the industrial revolution as a result of fossil fuel combustion and land- use change. Health co-benefits of living in green building enhance sustainability of urban area: improving the interface between humans and wildlife and reducing the risk of climate change. In this aspect, the systematic review considered evidence linking green building strategies in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Rating System with the potential to reduce negative health outcomes following exposure to urban flooding events. Some paper propose that green development can result in raising the investment funds by progressing representative efficiency, expanding benefits from advancements in better quality of life and health space, and giving reserve funds from vitality, communal consumption, and operational costs. This paper represent a set of the features emphases the important factors which affects sustainability in urban scale.
