Green architecture produces environmental, social, and economic benefits. Environmentally, green architecture helps reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and prevent environmental degradation. Economically, it reduces the amount of money that the building's operators have to spend on water and energy and improves the productivity of those using the facility. And, socially, green buildings are meant to be beautiful and cause only minimal strain on the local infrastructure. Traditional building materials are to be adapted to meet code-required standards for health and safety in contemporary buildings. Not only are they cost-effective and environmentally friendly, but when used correctly, these natural alternatives match the strength and durability of many mainstream construction materials. New building technologies, and in particular ICT automation,3d printing etc are to constantly be introduced to enhance the sustainable building process to reduce the impact of the building on the surrounding environment by using resources more efficiently (e.g. energy, water); enhancing and protecting the health and well-being of the occupants; and reducing any negative impacts.
