Abstract. Owing to the recurrent modifications in the lifestyle and demands of humans the regular life of buildings is decreasing whereas the demolition or renovation of the buildings increases. Building materials and their components ingest just about 40 percent of world-wide vigour per annum in their life segments such as fabrication and procurement of building materials, construction and demolition. The development of the construction industry completely relies on the deployable resources. To abate the consumption of construction materials in current years, the construction industry has established an environmental track, which wishes to use naturally available materials. Reviving such technology, further developing this technology green building materials are paramount for constructing green buildings. Such a green-building constructional model does not require energy contributions frequently for production. The advantage of reducing the energy used in manufacturing, increases strength. Green Building material is one which utilizes less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste, produces less carbon dioxide emissions and provides improved space for inhabitants as compared to conventional buildings. It includes environmental, economic, and social benefits as well. This paper aims to provide knowledge about some of the green building materials that help for sustainable living. These elucidations can obligate a significant influence in contemporary construction owed to the escalation in the charges of traditional construction materials.

Urban population has been increased rapidly and caused such urban problems as shortage of housing and traffic jam, and the continuously expanding buildings have resulted in strong impact on global resource consumption and environmental pollution. Green building materials are the basic guarantee to the quality and service life of buildings, the material carrier to realize various functions of buildings and also the foundation and support to develop green buildings. Based on the coherence and relevance of assessment on full life cycle of buildings and building materials, the influence of exterior window selection on carbon emission of buildings was analyzed in aspects of the initial stage (production, consumption and transport of building materials) of carbon emission of buildings, i.e. the intrinsic energy per unit product, operation, demolition and treatment. The comprehensive assessment was also established, and the selection of green building materials was investigated for exterior windows based on the reduction of energy consumption during full life cycle of buildings by combining such indicators as the usability, durability, fireproofness, environmental protection and functionality of exterior windows. It solved the puzzles of architects on selection of building materials and the puzzles of building material manufacturers on demand of green buildings. The selection of green building materials on green buildings was promoted and the realization of the goal of "green buildings" also assisted.

The Impact

The green building design aims to minimize the need for the non-renewable energy of these resources, optimize their sustainability and maximize their conservation, recycling and usage. The use of effective building materials and construction techniques is maximized. Architectural bioclimatic technology will also optimize on-site usage of sources and sinks. It requires only minimum electricity to fuel itself and efficient appliances to meet its lighting, air-conditioning and other needs. Green buildings architecture optimizes the use of renewable energies and efficient waste and water management methods to create practical and hygienic working conditions for indoor environments. Materials such as chemical, physical and mechanical material properties and an appropriate specification are the fundamental elements of construction design and responsible for the mechanical strength of the design. The construction of green buildings is also the first step in choosing and utilizing eco-friendly materials with or better characteristics than traditional building materials. Based on the practical, technical and financial requirements, construction materials are usually selected. But, given that sustainable development has been a core issue in recent decades, building industry that is directly or indirectly responsible for a substantial share of annual environmental destruction, by pursuing environmentally sound constructions and buildings should take responsibility for contributing to sustainable growth. The quickest way for manufacturers to start integrating environmental design practices into buildings would be the diligent procurement of eco-friendly sustainable construction materials, including options for new material uses, recycling and reusing, organic product creation and green resource use. This paper aims to show how green building materials will help reduce the impact on the atmosphere and create a cleaner building that can be healthy for the occupant or our environment. In the sustainable progress of a nation, the choice of building materials that have reduced environmental burdens is helpful.

Green building materials have drawn more and more attention of the Chinese Government. Carbon footprint research on typical building materials products in China is of great significance to promote the sustainable development of building materials industry and realize the objectives of series actions on carbon dioxide emissions control in China. This paper explores the calculation method for carbon emissions of building materials products by taking rock wool sheet products as an example based on the life cycle idea and the characteristics of China's building materials industry. It also puts forward effective emission reduction suggestions through a comparative analysis of carbon emissions in different stages of rock wool production. The results show that the carbon emissions during the production of rock wool sheet is 1471.77 kgCO2eq/t, in which, the proportion of carbon emissions in the raw materials production stage is the highest, accounting for 58%.

Green Building Materials

The construction industry plays a significant role in the economic growth of a country. Nevertheless, the construction industry has created severe adverse environmental impacts. Therefore, green building technologies are implemented to alleviate the adverse effects of the construction industry. Using green materials instead of conventional building materials with high environmental impacts has been identified as one such implementation. However, there seems to be much confusion in defining green building materials. Hence, it is vital to explore the features of green building materials. Therefore, this article investigates green features that qualify the building materials as green building materials. A qualitative research approach was selected as the research methodology, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven green building experts. The data was analysed using content analysis. Findings revealed that recycled content, local availability of materials, embodied energy of materials, use of rapidly renewable material, usage of waste material for the production process, material wastage content in the production process and pollution prevention in the production process are the green features. The study results guide the identification of green building materials that can replace the materials with poor environmental sustainability.
