What is green concrete and Green building?

Green concrete is the term given to types of concrete that are rather beneficial or less harmful to the environment. Any green concrete must satisfy at least one of the following :

• Use non-polluting waste material(s) in at least one of its.
• Have a production process that doesn’t lead to environmental destruction and pollution.
• Have hight sustainability / life cycle without much environmental impact.
• Use other environment-friendly materials such as natural pozzolans, CNT(s), fly ash, etc.
• Cut down the energy usually needed for production.
• Cut down the total carbon dioxide emission in its production.

There aren’t any specific uses of green concrete because it behaves exactly like normal concrete. It’s just a question of initiative, labor, and willingness to adopt such a construction method that goes easy on the environment. Bridges, dams, houses, platforms have all been made using green concrete.

Green buildings, on the other hand, are buildings that either use environment-friendly materials, cut down the emission of pollutants in construction, are sustainable, have little or no environmental impact, or use waste materials. They generally are greenhouse gas efficient, energy-efficient, water-efficient, and heat efficient.

They, too, don’t really have any specific or special applications and can be used anytime.
