Green Building
.Green building is a holistic approach to the planning, design, construction, and operation of buildings that seeks to reduce their environmental footprint while enhancing occupant health and well-being . It is not a single fixed standard but a relative concept—a green building is one that performs significantly better than conventional practice across several key dimensions, typically including energy use, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, material selection, and site impact . The modern green building movement emerged in the 1990s alongside the founding of the U.S. Green Building Council, and today it is codified and measured primarily through rating systems such as LEED, BREEAM, Green Globes, and the WELL Building Standard . While certification has driven market transformation, research also cautions that design-phase certification does not guarantee in-use performance, highlighting the importance of operational verification and decarbonization outcomes
