---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------• Reducing overall impact to the environment Abstract – Green Building is becoming emerging adoption method to have sustainable building. The main objective of the green building is to reduce the effect of CO2 caused to environment. Constructing industry is the one of the major industry which is emitting CO2 in to atmosphere. To reduce the adverse effects which cause to environment, by the usage of non-renewable resources. In this paper methods employed in green building and concepts evolved in it are discussed. So I believe that by the using the alternative material, new construction technique and methods, use of renewable resources will help us to make a perfect green building which does not gives any harm to our environment and it will be a sustainable building.

2. THE METHODS TO MAKE A BUILDING AS GREEN 2.1 Method-I
Replacing current building material by alternative eco-friends and sustainable material.
2.2 Method-II
Key Words: Green Building, Sustainable Building, Renewable resources, Non-Renewable Resources, EcoFriendly Material.
By applying new techniques on construction.
2.3 Method-III
1. INTRODUCTION Since from the starting of industrial revolution after world war there was lot of growth in infrastructure in all over the world. In this infrastructure growth there where lot of building were constructed in conventional method. While using the conventional method for constructing there will be lot of wastage in building materials, not only there will be wastage, all the conventional materials will have highest adverse effect to environment. To overcome this issue new contemporary building materials are need to use for the construction works. And green ideas are needed to adopted in construction works.
By making the building as zero energy building.
2.4 Method-IV
Some necessary and immediate change in building policy.
3. METHOD –I (Use of Alternative & Sustainable Material) 3.1
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete
A Green Building is a structure which is built with the main aim to use the eco-friendly material and to reduce the adverse effects to environment by using green materials, A Green building is also known as a sustainable building.
Autoclaved aerated concrete was invented in the mid – 1920s. AAC is a lite in weight and it is a precast building material which is simultaneously provides structure effective insulation and fire proof. AAC has wide range of products in field like blocks, wall panel, floor and roof panels, and reinforced lintel beam.
Green building will improve the living style of the human and will have direct or indirect connection in preserving the non-renewable resource for our future generation.
AAC blocks has advantages in construction is its quick and easy installation, because of the light weight of the material.
1.2 Objective of a Green Building
AAC is only about 20% of the weight of concrete and it carries approximately 50% of the compressive strength of regular concrete.
