Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.

This requires close cooperation of the contractor, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages.

The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.

Green building also refers to saving resources to the maximum extent, including energy saving, land saving, water saving, material saving, etc., during the whole life cycle of the building, protecting the environment and reducing pollution, providing people with healthy, comfortable and efficient use of space, and being in harmony with nature Buildings that live in harmony.

Green building technology focuses on low consumption, high efficiency, economy, environmental protection, integration and optimization

Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective of green buildings is 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 (see healthy building)

Reducing waste, pollution, and environmental degradation[1]
