Abstract
This paper discusses the alternate materials used in construction of green buildings. It focuses on their physical, chemical, and engineering qualities of materials. Without further study, rules and apparatuses employed in the design of green constructions, it is difficult to reduce energy consumption. Biodegradable materials and solar electricity have been used to make green buildings. Eco-friendly construction methods include the use of biodegradable materials. For the creation of green structures, this study compares and contrasts the use of alternative sustainable building materials with other standard conventional building materials. Determining the best way to use feasible sustainable development materials and comparing it to the traditional development materials used in the present without compromising their accessibility is another goal of this article. The goal of the study is to research and demonstrate how feasible structure materials might help to reduce the impact on the environment and investigate how practical construction materials may reduce the impact of ecological degradation and create sturdy structures that are sustainable for both the occupants and the environment.
