Green building is a trend in the architecture field to build structures that are water efficient out of environmentally friendly materials. A Green building is designed, built or renovated or reused in an ecological and resource efficient manner. This is also known as sustainable, green building which represents friendly structures. The use of resources and the impacts becomes especially relevant where the impact occurs to humans.
Sustainable building design place a strong emphasis on energy-efficient in the design of the structure,to reduce the need for heating and cooling system.
Sustainable is one in which the site,design,construction,occupancy,maintenance and deconstruction of the building are accounted for in ways promote long term benefits to owners, occupants and society as a whole.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is a third-party programmed developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). Its a certification for the design, construction and operation of green buildings.
LEED provides tools to help building owners and operators measure and improve their buildings performance in seven key areas of human and environmental impact:Sustainable site development Water savings Energy efficiency Materials selection Indoor environmental quality Innovation and design Regional priority
