1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Traditionally,
buildings are viewed as a passive element of Workplace or dwelling.
Today's innovation is seeking it to be as a dynamic structure that
supports the people and evolving technologies to make the physical
environment more comfortable, interactive, secure, productive and cost
effective. The traditional building materials and other
construction/industrial waste are recycled economically and beneficially
for the Nigeria construction industry.
How can the government and
construction industry in Nigeria are convinced to start implementing
changes in material selection that would result in decreased
environmental loadings and see the need to start demanding the use of
environmentally less damaging construction materials, processes and
activities. The problem now is how these can fully be embraced as an
innovation in Nigeria construction industry.
1.3.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
1.3.1
AIM: Professionals in the construction industry opine that,
conventional building development and construction practices are no
larger sustainable and that green building design and construction can
greatly reduce the effect of construction industry on the environment.
Hence,
green building concept today is becoming part of standard practice the
world over especially in Europe and United States of America. Its
development has been very encouraging despite inherent potentials.
Thus the project work seek to examine, analyze and profer solution to the attendant problems.
1.3.2 OBJECTIVES
The proposal came up with the following objectives: -
1. To ascertain whether green building are eco-friendly structures and environmentally friendly.
2. To encourage regular use of recyclable materials.
3. To create quality building that are commercially viable.
4. Adopt environmentally sound and healthy work practices during both construction and occupancy.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
1. What are the similarities, differences and components of green building?
2. Are green building more expensive?
3. Does green building minimize external pollution and environmental damage?
4. In what ways can the problems associated with the green building be solved?
5. Is green building of high quality over conventional
building?

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Green building as innovation in Nigeria building industry is experiencing a technological growth similar in scale to that of the entire industrial revolution. This shows the level reached so far by construction industry to the effect of progress. Construction materials and processes are changing in response to divers environmental concerns, globalization, increased competition, advance in information technology, computer aided design and so on.This project work will discuss few of the exciting p ...
