Abstract

Conventional buildings produce high amount of greenhouse gas, large quantity of construction and demolition debris (which decrease landfill capacity), disturbs the natural resources and also it consumes a big part of energy and water. Implementation of various simple and sustainable techniques practiced individually can help in many ways to create a structure that is environment friendly, consumes minimal natural resources and at the same time be economical in nature. This paper makes an effort to study the Green Building construction method and new technologies which enables to create a sustainable structure. It also includes design concepts of Green Building, methodology and materials requirement and ideas and suggestions to create a checklist for a builder for him to refer the various suggestions in every phase of construction of a general structure
