Green Architecture: A Notion of Sustainability

Abstract : Green architecture helps to maintain sustainability and environmental factors. An indispensable role is played by green buildings in reducing consumption of natural resources. Persistent escalation of pollution has become a great concern to environmentalists. In case, construction sector focuses on green practices, environmental impacts can be reduced. Negative impacts on nature and wildlife can be minimized by green architecture. Green raw materials are used by a construction industry to maintain their social responsibility. Several types of principles related to green building are critically discussed in this study. Indoor air quality is improved in green buildings to provide a healthy environment to individuals who live in green buildings. Green design allows to maintain this green architecture concept. Safety and quality assurance of a building is also controlled with help of this green architecture. Renewable energy resources are controlled by these green concepts. Several modern machines are used by a construction industry in their workplace. Green raw materials such as: fibre cement, wood, bamboo and fibre glass and straw bales are also used by an industry.
