The idea of Green Construction can be traced to the power crisis and the environment pollution concern in the 1970s. The green building movement in the U.S. Originated from the requirement and desire for more energy efficient and green construction practices. There are a considerable number of reasons for Green Construction, including environmental, commercial, and social benefits. However, modern sustainability initiatives call for a combined and synergistic design to both new construction and in the retrofitting of an existing structure. Sometimes called tolerable design, this approach integrates the building life-cycle with each green practice employed with a design-purpose to form a synergy among the practices used.

Green building brings together a gigantic range of practices and techniques to reduce and at last eliminate the impacts of buildings on the environment and human health. It often stresses taking advantage of replenish-able resources, e.g, using daylight through passive solar, active solar, and photovoltaic methodologies and using plants and trees through green roofs, rain gardens, and for decrease of rainwater run-off. Plenty of other methodologies, for example using packed gravel or permeable concrete instead of conventional concrete or asphalt to improve replenishment of ground water, are employed as well.

While the practices, or technologies, employed in green building are continually evolving and may vary from region to area, there are basic beliefs that endure from which the system is derived: Siting and Structure Design Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Water Potency, Materials Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality Enhancement, Operations and Maintenance Optimisation, and Waste and Toxics Reduction. The basis of green building is an optimisation of one or two of these elements. Also, with the right synergistic design, individual green building technologies may work in partnership to produce a bigger accumulative effect.

On the cultured side of green design or tolerable design is the philosophy of planning a building that's in sync with the natural features and resources surrounding the site. There are several main steps in designing viable buildings: specify'green' building materials from local sources, reduce loads, optimise systems, and generate on-site green power.
