Green Buildings and Sustainable Construction

Green building technology is one of the most popular issues around the world, with the goal of reducing the construction industry’s considerable influence on the environment, society, and economy. As pollution and global warming become more prevalent over the planet, the world urgently requires sustainable and intelligent development. Due to a rise in Green House Gases (GHGs), dramatic climatic changes have also been noted and are being experienced all over the world. In industrialised countries such as the United States of America, Russia, Australia, and the United Kingdom, severe steps have already been taken, as well as rules and regulations enacted by their respective governments to support and promote sustainable development. In addition, there is a lack of public knowledge about this worldwide issue in these developing countries. In comparison to the wealthy nations of the world, these countries’ studies and research activities lag considerably behind. This paper discusses the importance of sustainable development around the world, particularly in developing countries such as India and China, which have large landmasses and are fast developing, with the potential to become new world superpowers soon. It also covers sustainability and economic research with connections to Indian contexts, as well as a case study of a newly designed and built magnificent residential bungalow in a small town in India. The case study is a residential bungalow that was designed and built as a sustainable and green structure in a tiny town in the Indian state of Maharashtra, as India is recognised as a land of villages with the world’s second-highest population. According to India’s 2011 census, 68.84 per cent of the population, or approximately 833.1 million people, live in 6,40,867 distinct villages. By using straightforward, simple, and cost-effective strategies, this study will assist Indian communities and residential buildings in becoming more sustainable and greener.
