Green building aims to reduce environmental impact through sustainable and efficient practices across a building's entire lifecycle. It focuses on siting, design, construction, operation, and deconstruction to optimize energy efficiency, water efficiency, materials efficiency, and waste reduction/management. Specifically, it emphasizes the use of high-performance windows and insulation, effective window placement, onsite renewable energy, low-flow fixtures, rapidly renewable and recyclable materials, and converting waste into resources like fertilizer.

 Green building (also known as green
construction or sustainable building) is the
practice of creating structures and using
processes that are environmentally
responsible and resource-efficient
throughout a building's life-cycle: from
siting to
design, construction, operation, maintena
nce, renovation, and deconstruction.

13. Materials efficiency
Use of rapidly renewable plant materials like
bamboo, recycled stone, recycled metal, and other
products that are non-
toxic, reusable, renewable, and/or recyclable
Manufacturing construction material on site in order
to save energy utilized in transportation.

15. Waste reduction/Management
Converting waste and wastewater into fertilizer
Use of human waste at the source along with other
biological waste at biogas plant
