Abstract: The Green Building' concept is gaining importance in various countries, including India. These are buildings that ensure that waste is minimized at every stage during the construction and operation of the building, resulting in low costs, according to experts in the technology. This study focuses on defining green buildings and elaborating their interaction with the environment, energy, and indoor air quality and ventilation. Additionally, the study highlights the green buildings rating systems, the economics of green buildings, and the challenges that face the implementation. Sustainable development is the challenge of meeting growing human needs for natural resources, industrial products, energy, food, transportation, shelter, and effective waste management while conserving and protecting environmental quality and the natural resource base essential for future life and development. This concept recognizes that meeting long-term human needs will be impossible unless we also conserve the earth’s natural physical, chemical, and biological systems.
