This includes Mercantile and service, Educational Institutes, Offices, and Healthcare units. A lot of time it is misunderstood that green building means placing a solar panel at the roof and having an STP but the real scenario is that it's just a beginning of say 5%. This book explores the possibilities of green building methodologies in the context of a commercial building.
