Abstract: The rapid pace of urbanization and increasing energy consumption have resulted in significant environmental degradation. The construction sector contributes nearly 40% of total energy consumption and carbon emissions worldwide, making sustainable approaches in building design imperative. Green building offers a framework to minimize environmental harm and improve human well-being. This paper explores the principles, strategies, and benefits of green buildings, focusing on energy efficiency, water conservation, material optimization, and indoor environmental quality. A comparative assessment of conventional and green buildings is presented, followed by discussion of economic feasibility and policy implications.The results emphasize that while initial costs are higher, the long-term benefits in terms of operational savings and environmental sustainability are substantial.
