At present the demand of sustainable lifestyle is no longer a matter of personal choice and construction industry sector has now been regulated for the purpose of implementing measures that improve the infrastructures for environmental behaviour. In contradiction the traditional architecture of India in the respective region reflects biodiversity, wide culture followed by rich traditions. Each region has its own vernacular language evolved organically overtimes and derived from its climatic conditions, utilizing locally available materials, history, lifestyle, reflecting skilful art and craftsmanship of the local people. The traditional house of India is not only a shelter but a place giving a feel of security, a locus of family and community life, an expression of identity and cultural continuity. It gives a sense of place and time. It is a product of long and complex evolutionary process. Hence there is a strong relationship between traditional architecture and the social, economic and environmental conditions of a region thus contribute to the sustainability parameters of the respective region. The construction technologies in traditional architecture in the region have changed according to the climatic condition and availability of local resources which include type of soil, vegetation pattern, flora n fauna, etc. This paper develops a co-relation between traditional building materials which has a potential for sustainable development of the respective region. This paper focuses on mud construction technology as a green building material and includes the study of thermal performance and human comfort in the traditional house located at Wardha.
