During both the preliminary design phase, when broad, overarching decisions about the building's function and appearance are made, and the detailed construction plan level, material selection plays a crucial part in realizing the 'Green Buildings' goal (when materials present on the market are chosen). Architects and engineers responsible for making this option typically lack access to assessment tools aimed at assisting them in the selection of materials, despite the fact that this second factor is just as crucial to the actual fulfillment of 'greenness' standards. The environment is being harmed by human activities such as manufacturing, transportation, and mining. Saving the planet's natural resources has proven difficult for scientists and engineers since doing so means lowering society's performance, development pace, and standard of living. We have gone a long way in creating tools that might prevent more ecological damage and slow the depletion of vital resources. The notion of "green buildings" is based on the same idea. Increasing a building's energy efficiency utilizing green natural or renewable resources rather than non-renewable resources is a key component of green construction, according to this perspective. In this study, we discuss the criteria that should be used to pick green building materials.
