Abstract
Global warming and Climate change are among the major challenges in the
21st century. Rapid urbanization is a major reason for this. Urban sprawl and
the emergence of urban clusters are problems faced by any city. This in turn
creates an impact on the micro-scale climate of that area. Urban heat island is
a major problem resulting from this. It adversely affects urban ecology and
creates public health damage. Heat islands increase both overall electricity
demand, as well as peak energy demand. Green architecture and cool pavements
are the best methods to reduce the heat of the urban regions. Green
architecture is an architecture that seeks to minimize the negative
environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of
materials, energy, development space, and the ecosystem at large. Green
building offers us an opportunity to save energy, reduce waste, cut down on
greenhouse gas emissions. Efficient ventilation helps to increase efficiency,
energy conservation, and cure health problems. It also improved air quality and
reduced stress in occupants living in those buildings. Many reports revealed
about green roofs reduce both the surface temperature and air temperature of
the urban area during the daytime and green roofs absorb heat and filter the
air, keeping the temperature low. Green architecture helps to balance our urban
ecology. Green building is also known as sustainable or high-performance
building. Green architecture is re
