Many researches have pointed out that human activities around the world are producing too much pollution and that something must be done immediately. The concept of green civil engineering takes this traditional field in a new direction. Green building (GB), also known as sustainable building, is the best way to overcome the extensive damage to the environment caused by waste materials and mitigate the negative impact of buildings throughout their life cycle, not only providing more suitable indoor conditions, but also being economically sustainable in the long term. Therefore, this paper presents the economic, social, and environmental benefits of GB, respectively. Moreover, the obstacles that currently exist are introduced and the proposes solutions to overcome them are also listed in the end of this paper. Results show that GB can develop better real-world applications for the construction industry while acting as a major driver of solutions to help save the planet from even worse pollution.
