Abstract
Imperishable development is the most trending issue all over the globe which is proposed to decrease the significant influence of the construction industry on the surroundings, society and economy. Several developed nations have embraced the Green Building Construction considering the most affirmative solution to the conservation of their natural resources, less consumption of energy and minimize the construction negative impacts on the climate and environment. A critical review of the literature has been conducted exploring the implementation of the Green Building Construction (GBC) in India which consists of relevant works of sustainability in construction materials, building rating tools and the comparative studies, with the goal to optimize design effort. This study also takes considerations of the green building evaluation tools for rating the performance of different buildings include Comprehensive Evaluation Procedure for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE), Green Building Tool (GBTool), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Development (LEED), GRIHA, Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM). This rating will persuade the constructors to work more in the direction of constructing more efficient green buildings and convert the old building to a green building.
