Green building refers to constructing and designing eco-friendly buildings that prioritize sustainability. It involves utilizing sustainable practices throughout construction, including environmentally conscious materials, optimizing energy and resource consumption, and minimizing waste, allowing buildings to achieve net-zero carbon emissions.

Governments worldwide are increasingly prioritizing environmental considerations across all industries, including construction. As a result, green building techniques are becoming more popular. Many governments support startups that provide affordable and accessible solutions for green building, such as creating material databases to help construction companies implement eco-friendly projects.

Green building techniques have experienced notable growth in the residential building market, with more than one-third of builders implementing these practices for at least half of their projects. Builders prioritize energy efficiency due to the substantial greenhouse gas emissions generated by building operations in the construction and real estate sectors. Accordingly, more than 90 percent of single-family residential builders adopt some form of energy-efficient practice in their constructions, with 69 percent implementing it in most buildings.
