Answer:

Green building is a modern concept in architecture by means of which it is aimed at construction developments that are not invasive with the environment, or that affect the ecosystem in which they are built as little as possible, with the aim of leaving future generations an intact environment worth living in.

Thus, for a construction to conform to this concept, it must follow the following parameters:

-The construction must adapt to the natural environment, and not this to the construction.

-It has to be resource-efficient. Furthermore, the materials used must not be exploited indiscriminately or causing damage to the environment.

-The external area of the building must respect the natural patterns of the area where it is built, favoring a harmonic view between the building and the surroundings.

-Use of clean and renewable energy to supply the building.
