The concept of sustainable building incorporates a variety of strategies; the use of green building materials and products represents one of these important strategies, offering benefits like reduced maintenance and replacement costs, energy conservation and greater design flexibility in the design of a building.
The frantic building activity going on all over to create affordable housing as well as premium residential & commercial spaces could have serious environmental consequences in the form of deforestation, depleting water table, and strain on natural resources. Also heavy reliance on conventional building materials has aggravated environmental problems as they utilize large amount of non-renewable natural resources like energy, minerals, top-soil, forest cover etc. and are generally polluting in nature.
Typically, conventional building technologies like burnt bricks, steel and cement are high in cost too, making construction unaffordable to wider section of the society. Many developers are now adopting building practices like rain harvesting, solar energy, daylight utilization and other measures, to help sustain the environment. The construction industry is increasingly seeking innovative green building materials, to build economical, affordable buildings and minimize the impact of the construction activity on the environment.
Green building materials are composed of renewable, rather than nonrenewable resources and its impacts are considered over the entire life cycle of the building.
