Abstract
Following the 1960s global energy crisis, extensive research and initiatives have been undertaken to enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental pollution. Understanding the construction process of eco-friendly buildings is essential for promoting their increased implementation. This review study aims to thoroughly examine the current literature on green buildings and identify several recurring themes: the conceptualization and scope of green buildings, the measurement of their advantages compared to traditional structures, and various strategies for implementing green building practices. The government has implemented measures to promote green-building technologies for sustainable development practices in the construction industry. However, the uptake of green buildings in Bangladesh continues to face criticism due to insufficient and sluggish government support. This systematic review study thoroughly analysed 71 relevant articles from reputable academic journals published between 2012 and 2024 and constructed a conceptual framework for the adoption of GBTs in the building sector. This study ultimately provides valuable insights into green buildings for researchers, stakeholders, governments, and policymakers, thereby contributing to the advancement of green building literature. Several areas require further investigation to address the specific needs of particular demographic groups and ensure long-term adaptability, including the collection of more comprehensive evidence on the life-cycle costs and benefits of green buildings.
