Jitendra: Protected "Emission Reduction Potential of Green Building Materials": It's Completed ([edit=author] (indefinite) [move=author] (indefinite))

Building and construction sector accounts for more than two-thirds of total greenhouse gas emissions across the globe. Thus, there is a great potential for reducing greenhouse emissions by enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings and communities. Reductions in greenhouse emissions can be accomplished by construction of new green buildings with low energy consumption and retrofitting of existing buildings.

These materials promote conservation of non-renewable resources and reduce environmental impact associated with fabrication, processing, installation, transportation, disposal, and recycling of building materials. Green building materials are employed in construction industry to address various environment challenges including anomalous climate change, natural resource depletion, atmospheric pollution, contamination of fresh water resources, and loss of biodiversity. Eco-friendly nature, durability, and energy efficiency of green building materials make them ideal for use in designing of residential and non-residential buildings.

Low operational & maintenance costs and pressure of environmental regulations pertaining emissions are the major factors that drive the [https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/green-buildings-materials-market green building materials market] across the globe. In addition, government in developed countries has introduced policies and incentives to encourage green construction, which supplements the growth of this market. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), and Green Building Evaluation Labeling (GBEL) are some of the rating systems for green buildings in U.S., UK, and China, respectively. Innovation of new advanced technologies and increase in R&D activities to study effective design procedures and construction techniques will boost the green building materials market demand. Cost concerns and market barriers though hinder the market growth, rise in growth of construction industry provides a great potential for market expansion of green building materials.

Market Dynamics: 
 
Drivers: 
 
Emission Reduction Potential of Green Building Materials 
 
Restraints: 
 
Cost Concerns and Market Barriers 
 
A wide variety of cost concerns and market barriers exist in the green building construction market including “split incentive” barrier, i.e., owners of the houses don’t make effective investments in their properties as the occupants reap benefits from these investments and not owners. A total of 40% of commercial buildings and 32% of households are rented or leased.

Major players that operate in green building materials market are Alumasc Group Plc (UK), Amvik Systems (Canada), BASF SE (Germany), Bauder Limited (UK), Binderholz GmbH (Germany), E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (U.S.), Forbo International SA (Switzerland), Interface Inc. (U.S.), Kingspan Group plc (Ireland), and Owens Corning (U.S.).
