Abstract

Green building technologies (GBTs) have advanced significantly, as a result of the advantages to society, economy, and environment. It might lead to more environmentally friendly growth, considering climate change. The primary goal of GBTs is to utilize water, energy, and other resources sparingly in a balanced manner. Green buildings (GBs) have advantages in terms of reduced energy use and emissions, low operating and maintenance costs, improved productivity, and health. To determine the future course for sustainable green building technologies, a critical analysis of current residential projects in the field is mandatory. Conducting research that pertain to sustainable construction practices minimizing natural resources, are reasonably priced, are planned and built with the possibility of future growth. This article looks at how green building construction is going on, based on case study and offers suggestions for more research and development that will be required for residential projects leading to a sustainable future.
