Global sustainability goals have led to the development of the green building movement. Sustainable development and green buildings are often used interchangeably. Although sustainable development and green buildings are related, they are not the same. Increase in demand of houses which lead to consumption of more energy, resources and raw materials which are responsible for the rise in carbon content in air which are harmful to environment and human health. Nowadays we are facing various environmental impacts due to which we need to build with more sustainable materials which will lead to reduction of impacts on environment. This paper provides an overview of how green building relates to sustainable development practices and deals with the various energy saving concepts which can be incorporated at the time of planning, designing, construction and execution stage to have energy efficiency in buildings keeping in mind the cost perspective.
