Literature Review
 Concept of green buildings
According to Miller et al. (2009), green buildings are the projects
which are resource efficient and environmentally responsible in throughout the life cycle
of building construction which consists of planning to design, construction, maintenance,
renovation and demolition etc. However, Popescu et al. (2012) argued that the green
buildings concept recently been used to make profits and it is not safe.
 Benefits of green buildings
Ascione et.al (2013) stated that compare to traditional structure green
buildings utilizes water and other energy efficient innovation through solar system, wind
turbine and day lighting. Further, the unique construction design facilitate the lot of day
lightning features which reduces the power consumption. This saves water and energy
bills which reduces the operational and maintenance cost (Yudelson, 2008).
