Abstract

The realization that much of the conventional, modern approaches to building construction are not sustainable over the long term is not new. As a consequence, the concept of green building is gaining importance in the present energy scenario and related environmental issues. This paper seeks to review the developments in the context of green buildings that have occurred in the past decade or so. These developments in turn are poised to serve as benchmarks for the research which is yet to be done and technologies yet to be explored. We restrict our study to four important elements of green buildings namely; sustainability, green materials, environmental impact assessment and emerging technologies. In our endeavour, we seek to review the developments that have taken place in these particular areas and subsequently, how they have contributed to the concept of ‘Green Building’.  Keywords: Green building, sustainability, green materials, energy efficient, climate change Cite this Article Rizwan A Khan, Milind Sharma, Snimardeep.
