CITIES are continuously evolving and along with it the lifestyle of residents. One such change noticed is the shift to greener lifestyle choices to reduce overall carbon emissions to help save the environment. In architecture and construction, this is underscored by the construction of green buildings, providing smart innovations that work with the environment and promote the well-being of the people who use these spaces on a daily basis.

On a much larger picture, green buildings also help meet social needs by enhancing spaces besides the environmental benefits, protecting human health, empowering members of the community to take active participation and ensuring access to basic services at reasonable rates.
