Abstract
The use of sustainable materials is a component of sustainable development. The world has become increasingly globalized, and it is evident that in order to handle the enormous environmental pressure that human activity is placing on the planet, sustainable solutions must be proposed and implemented as soon as possible. This change is not only conceivable, but also necessary. Sustainability in building construction is currently a top focus due to the numerous benefits it provides. Because the worldwide trend is to-ward sustainability, sustainable building construction is critical in the construction business. Many environmental challenges are arising as a result of massive urbanization activity. Material efficiency, water efficiency, energy efficiency, indoor air quality efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainable site planning are all components of green building. A systematic examination of the available literature on the benefits of employing green materials in sustainable building was used to undertake this quantitative research technique. Meta-analysis was used to collect and analyze data. Green Building is a building that incorporates environmental considerations into every stage of design with the goals of protecting occupant health, improving workforce productivity, using natural resources wisely, and reducing environmental impact. Green buildings provide better health for building occupants due to enhanced interior quality, the development of more energy efficient products, and the use of fewer natural resources for the enjoyment and welfare of building tenants, as well as to safeguard the ecosystem, according to the findings. According to the findings of this study, the benefits of green construction should inspire clients, consult-ants, and contractors to invest in green buildings. Building with sustainable materials will reduce pollution while also improving the current condition of environmental challenges. This paper provides stakeholders, from designers to occupiers, with a cohesive overview of the sustainability concept and its beneficial role for future generations in order to grow this issue by increasing scientific information transmission from a technical-engineering perspective
