ABSTRACT
Building construction and operation have been associated with many environmental issues, such as contamination of the surrounding area and overuse of world resources. The world's environmental degradation issues have compelled society to reconsider its methods of development and expand the notion of sustainable development. Green building has an important impact on building design, so it should be emphasized. Growing environmental concerns have given green and sustainable buildings a lot of attention in recent years. Developed and developing nations each have their own evaluation criteria and procedures for certifying green or sustainable architecture. Green technologies encompass a broad spectrum of technological innovations aimed at reducing the adverse impacts of human activities on the environment and fostering sustainable development strategies. The purpose of this paper is to cover the significance of sustainable construction, the materials used to construct sustainable buildings, building assessment methods, the role that green technologies play in sustainable development, and the difficulties associated with applying sustainable construction techniques.
Keywords: Environmental degradation, sustainable construction practices, Green buildings, Green technologies, and Sustainable Development Goals.
