Chapter 7
Advanced Green Building Technology
Abstract An advanced sustainable mechanism is being described to fulfill the
complete need of energy for a building that can be created by the building itself. To
meet the complete energy demand for a building, the domestic biowaste including
human feces is suggested to be executed into converting process in situ where separated sludge is to be collected into an anaerobic shut-tank bioreactor (BR) into the
basement, facilitating to form biogas (CH 4 ) by methanogenesis in order to convert
biogas into electricity energy to power the entire building. Then, the discharged
wastewater is to be stored in another detention tank in situ in order to conduct a
complete treatment process of primary, secondary, tertiary, and UV application to
utilize the treated wastewater for gardening. Execution of this technology indeed
shall be an inventive field of green building science where a building can form electricity by itself to satisfy its total energy need without any connection with the utility
companies which is benevolent to environment.

Introduction
Environmental vulnerability is correlated much with the building sector since 40%
of global fossil energy is consumed by the building sector throughout the world
[1–3]. In 2018, the net energy consumption globally accounted for
5.59 × 10
20
J = 559 EJ, where 2.236 × 10
20
EJ energy is alone engulfed by the building sector [4, 5]. Consequently, the building sector is triggered to release nearly
8.01 × 10
11
ton CO 2 (218 gtC by the building sector per year of worldwide total
carbon production of 545 gtC; 1 gtC = 10

ton C = 3.67 gt CO 2 ) into the atmosphere
[6, 7]. The quickening of fossil fuel consumption by the building sector is getting
higher and higher globally and the situation shall remain unchanged until an innovative technology is developed to power the building sector globally. At present, the
