Abstract

Green building concepts in architecture focus on designing and constructing buildings that minimize environmental impact while enhancing efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. With increasing concerns about climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation, the adoption of eco-friendly building practices has become essential. This paper examines key green building concepts such as energy efficiency, use of sustainable materials, water conservation, and indoor environmental quality. It highlights how innovative design strategies and modern technologies contribute to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development. The study also emphasizes the importance of integrating environmental considerations into architectural planning to create healthier and more resilient built environments.
