Role of Green Buildings in Sustainable Living: Implementation and Impacts

Abstract

The rise in the number of carbon footprint has led to various new challenges and opportunities to reduce the rate of global warming and carbon footprint present in the atmosphere [1], similarly the amount of global warming caused by the modern buildings and electrical devices which are required for the purpose of cooling and heating have played a key role in the higher concentration of temperature in the urban areas. [2] On the other hand, the temperature levels in rural areas are comparatively lower than the urban areas due to large bare land available for the free movement of air and the effect of trees have reduced the temperature with the help of natural shades and oxygen production. [3] Therefore, the concept of Green building and Net zero building have been incorporated to enable the concept of nature into the Buildings where the people can be more interconnected to the nature and get benefited to reduce the overall temperature and global warming effect in the coming future.
