Abstract

From mid-eighteenth century industrial revolution has started and as a result many new inventions are made. With this inventions the resource exploration and utilization has become easy. Most of the resources are non renewable and to fulfill the needs of growing population the exploration of these non renewable resources has gone to a peak level which may cause threat for the survival of future generations. For any activity of human being shelter or housing is required. Housing is the one of the major contributors to the green house gas emissions which has significant environmental impact. Housing is a major sector and is responsible for about 20-30% of green house gas emission in developed countries. Therefore an effective response to climate change can be achieved through housing sustainability and this is a designed solution using ?sustainable development?. As construction is the initial stage of any activity we need to adopt the concepts of sustainable development in the field of civil engineering. Green building technology has been developed as a product of this sustainable development concept. The main objective of green building technology is to improve the environmental conditions by effective utilization of natural resources and waste in civil engineering. This paper includes the information about concepts of green building technology and its potential application in India.
