Green Building Technology

Green building technology aims to reduce environmental impact and achieve structure and energy efficiency through resource-efficient and environmentally-friendly building processes throughout a building's life cycle. It operates by developing standards and rating systems to encourage technological enhancement in energy, materials, waste management, and operations/maintenance. While GBT can improve environmental conditions and lower costs, it can be difficult to implement and incorporate due to high initial and maintenance costs.
