Abstract
The green building revolution is sweeping construction not only in the United States but also around the world. Green construction is the latest practice that the engineers and the architects are working on around the globe in order to increase efficiency using resources such as energy, water, and materials available from nature to a maximum advantage. This should reduce the impact on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better sitting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. The objective of the study is to emphasize the green construction phenomenon in order to educate and raise the methodology of green construction in the entire world. All types of facilities from small houses to large infrastructure projects and also commercial buildings, apartments, factories, entertainment facilities, and roads will be considered.
