Abstract
Green building construction refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from job siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This method of construction is a growing concept utilized by entire construction industry. Sustainable or “green building” design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently, while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes. While participating in this new movement, you must be sure to keep a fair balance of energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, conservation of resources, and the use of low maintenance products. Many materials used in construction can be replaced by a similar material manufactured with recycled products. Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective is that green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
This report will describe the latest methods and materials implemented in the growing “green” concept of the construction industry.
