This study discusses various relevant renewable technology used in green building in order to optimize resources usage. Moreover, this study also tries to investigate problems experiencing in wide popularity of green buildings in actual ground as market penetration of the technology is important for survival. Keywords - Building materials, design, environment I. INTRODUCTION Energy conservation is the need of time. One of the sectors which seriously need attention is the household sector. Inefficient building design is the root cause of high energy consumption in household sector. From this backdrop, the concept of green building has risen. Green building is actually those buildings which optimally use resources like energy, water, and materials. They are not only green from operation but also from construction point of view. The contour or design of this type of building is site specific. Therefore, a simple building cannot be a green building even with it energy saving features. It starts from the very beginning of design. LEED-INDIA is a Green Building Rating System which is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. II. TECHNOLOGY FOR GREEN BUILDING A building interacts with the environment through its external facades such as walls, windows, projections and roofs. Each component contributes to energy efficient feature of the building. Of the various factors, site plays important role. The design of building may change according to site as environmental
