Abstract

In recent decades, problems related to climate change, pollution and resource depletion have become increasingly urgent. Green architecture, also known as green buildings or sustainable construction, is an innovative response to these challenges. In this paper, the concept of green buildings, their benefits, and main characteristics, as well as their role in promoting a sustainable future for architecture and the environment will be explored.
Integrating the green buildings into everyday life is an important challenge, but also an extremely necessary one in the context of climate change and concern for environmental sustainability. Green buildings are structures designed to be more environmentally friendly and generate less impact on natural resources. Despite their obvious benefits, however, there are some significant challenges that need to be overcome to promote their integration into everyday life.
While these challenges exist, efforts to integrate green buildings into everyday life are still essential to ensure a more sustainable and greener future for future generations. Over time, as technology advances, awareness grows, and regulations improve, these challenges are expected to be overcome and green buildings to become a regular part of the urban landscape.
