Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are an energy-efficient building system consisting of rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two structural facings. SIPs were conceptualized in the 1930s but came into widespread use in the 1960s. SIPs provide superior insulation, strength, air-tightness, and speed of construction compared to traditional stick-framing. Homes built with SIPs use 40-60% less energy for heating and cooling, resulting in lower utility bills that typically offset the small increase in upfront material costs.

Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) offer several advantages over conventional steel buildings including reduced construction time of at least 50%, lower costs due to standardized components, and single source responsibility. PEBs use tapered built-up steel sections that are 30% lighter than conventional designs. The design process is also quicker as PEBs rely on repeated standard designs and connections. PEB manufacturers can deliver complete buildings within 6-8 weeks on average.
Pre-engineered building systems (PEBs) originated in the 1960s but their potential was only realized recently. An estimated 70% of new commercial buildings in the US use PEBs. PEBs involve fully fabricating building components in a factory according to design plans and then assembling them on site. They provide benefits over conventional construction like faster construction, assured quality, unlimited design possibilities, and lower life cycle costs. While PEBs are widely used globally, they are a relatively new concept in India but are growing rapidly and finding applications in industrial, commercial, and institutional buildings.

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.
Green building, or sustainable design, is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use energy, water, and materials, and of reducing impacts on human health and the environment for the entire lifecycle of a building. Green-building concepts extend beyond the walls of buildings and include site planning, community and land-use planning issues as well.
The growth and development of our communities have a large impact on our natural environment. The manufacturing, design, construction, and operation of the buildings in which we live and work are responsible for the consumption of many of our natural resources.
