As an architect, Gross Local Generation (GLG) is the total amount of energy created by a single energy source within a specific geographic area. It typically refers to the total energy generated by a system within a certain period of time, such as a month or a year. This energy can come from a variety of sources including solar, wind, and hydropower. GLG also takes into account the energy used to transport energy from the source to the consumers. GLG can be used to calculate the total energy produced by a certain region, which can in turn be used to determine the overall energy efficiency of the region.

Masonry is a form of construction that involves the use of materials such as stone, bricks, and concrete blocks. Gross Local Generation (GLG) is a term used to describe the amount of materials used in a particular architectural project that are sourced from within the immediate local area. This helps to reduce the environmental impact of transporting materials from other parts of the world, and it also provides local economic benefits by keeping money in the local area. GLG can be measured in terms of materials used, construction labour costs, and energy consumption.
