In order to lessen a construction's negative environmental impact, many towns and cities around the world have green building materials initiatives and programmes. A building's lifetime carbon neutrality can be achieved by reducing greenhouse gas emissions during construction and making extensive use of nonrenewable materials.
Building practises that are environmentally friendly or sustainable are not always ideal. Even though going "green" may be the right thing to do, the initial high cost of construction, which can be 10% to 40% more than conventional building, the lack of suitable materials, an extension of the construction period, as well as the requirement for skilled or trained workers to build it, can be a deterrent for many people considering a future with green homes.
Ecohouses, living roofs, double glazing, or lowering the thermostat by a few degrees are not included in the green building concept. However, it is sufficient to plan and build a building that uses fewer resources from the planet, produces less waste, and offers a more livable environment than a more conventional structure. Over the past several decades, residential green buildings have gradually advanced. Green building refers to building methods and materials that are environmentally friendly. Modern improvements in heating, insulation, electrical appliances, LED lighting, and other structural components lessen a building's overall impact on human health and the environment.
