Green building is also know as green construction or sustainable building which is refers to both a structure and the using of processes that areenvironmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle. Begin from design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. In other words, green building design involves finding the balance between home building and the sustainable environment. This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. In conclusion, the greenhouse is avoiding harmful chemicals, using Rapidly Renewable materials, using Recycled Content containing materials, purchasing Locally Manufactured materials, choosing Energy Efficient appliances, selecting Water Saving fixtures and features, taking advantage of Salvage opportunities and reducing Job Site Waste.
Building materials can release chemicals into the air through evaporation. Products such as paints, stains,
varnishes, carpet, insulation, flooring, kitchen cabinets and countertops, plywood, particleboard, and paint strippers can produce significant off gassing in our home or office.
For build the Green Building, the green building materials can be considered in the green house. such as the Low VOC Harmony Paint (Earth Plaster).

The rapidly renewable building material can be used. A plant that grow to harvestable size in 15 years of less.
Recycled Content, the portion of a product that is made from materials redirected from the waste stream, usually stated as a percentage by weight. For example: Green Fiber Cellulose Insulation is 85% recycled content (post-consumer waste). Another example is Ultra Touch Blue Jean Insulation made from recycled denim jeans.
In addition, the local manufactured within 500 miles of your building project is benefit for the green building. And energy Efficient such as the energy star rated appliances and lighting, use of instant hot water heater, light colored membrane roof to deflect heat, passive methods, active methods (power strips, motion sensors, fan and light timers and high SEER HVAC, variable system by Daikin. Then the water saving and avoiding landfill strategies be used.
The example of Green Building 1; The German Reichstag Visitors walk inside the glass dome of the German Reichstag parliament building in Berlin. The building's energy system is based upon a mix of solar energy, geothermal power, combined heat and power, biofuel generators, and innovative ventilation. Special insulation limits heat loss. More than 80 percent of electricity needed is generated internally. A geothermal installation cools the building in summer and provides heat in winter. Annual CO2 emissions are thus reduced from 7,000 to less than 1,000 tons. (Source: Reuters)
The example of Green Building 2: The Bird's Nest. Laborers on the construction site of the National Olympic Stadium, also known as the "Bird's Nest," in Beijing. Designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, the stadium will incorporate solar power and rainwater collection. Since all of the facilities inside the stadium are planned as self-contained units, it is possible to do largely without a solid, enclosed facade. This allows for natural ventilation of the stadium, which is the most important aspect of the stadium's sustainable design. (Source: Reuters)
