Sustainable Construction Practices: Life-Cycle Analysis Of Green Buildings

Authors: Akshay Singh

Abstract: Sustainable construction practices are crucial in minimizing environmental impacts and promoting resource efficiency. This paper examines the life-cycle analysis (LCA) of green buildings, focusing on energy efficiency, material sustainability, and carbon emissions. By evaluating each stage—design, construction, operation, and end-of-life—the study highlights methods to improve the environmental performance of buildings. Innovative green technologies, policy frameworks, and economic implications are discussed to provide a holistic understanding of sustainable practices. The findings emphasize the need for integrated strategies to achieve global sustainability goals.

Keywords: Sustainable construction, Green buildings, Life-cycle analysis, Environmental performance, Resource efficiency
