Abstract

Man's rapid industrialization and growth of society have caused huge damage to the environment in the world. Every development leads to some degree of environmental degradation. With the materials and technologies in the construction industry evolving through the ages, energy consumed in the manufacturing processes, recycling and safe disposal, natural resources and raw materials consumed, problems of long-distance transportation, impact on the environment, and long-term sustainability require attention. As a result, these issues need to be considered regarding future needs, and using any new construction material should focus on how efficiently buildings use resources while minimizing their impact on people's health and the environment, which is known as sustainable building or green building growth. This paper compares traditional construction technology with new green infrastructure construction technology, which has a major effect on resource conservation such as soil, water, electricity, air, and material, lowering overall construction costs.
