Abstract

In this communication, Author has deliberately presented the Green building concept. Green Building is the building which does not required any commercial electricity for the building conditioning. The conditioning means it has sufficient mass flow rate of air, no pollution accu-mulated inside the building, no extra heat is absorbed by the building and no extra cooling is available inside the building. The building is working in the comfort conditioning zone such as the temperature inside the building lies from 16 to 25 degree Celsius. The Aura of building, LEED Rating of building and comfort conditioning through solar chimney, EATHE, BHE and their integrated approaches has been presented. The ACH for normal and Covid-2 type situation being also discussed.
