Description
Green construction is no longer optional but a necessity. This paper explores the key principles of sustainable construction, such as energy efficiency, reduced carbon footprint, and eco-friendly material usage. It examines innovations like solar-integrated facades, high-performance insulation, and innovative HVAC systems. European and US case studies demonstrate how green buildings achieve significant energy savings. The role of international certifications like LEED, BREEAM, and WELL Building Standard is analyzed, showing their impact on project planning. The paper also addresses higher initial costs, regulatory barriers, and material availability. Despite these challenges, green construction is both environmentally and economically beneficial. Future trends point towards net-zero buildings, where renewable energy production offsets the total energy consumed.
