It has the potential to move toward sustainable development, specifically related to climate change. In GBTs, the main objective is to use energy, water and other resources in a balanced way, without using them extensively. This will improve the environmental conditions. Green buildings (GBs) are beneficial when it comes to energy consumption and emissions; low maintenance and operation costs; boosting health and productivity; etc. There is a lack of a critical review of the past or present research work in the area of the Green Building Technology (GBT) sector to identify the future roadmap for sustainable green building technologies. A critical review, with the help of proper research methodology, was identified. The scope of this study is to analyze the existing work on different issues, and find different key issues in green building research, which has minimal use of natural resources, is cost-effective and is designed and constructed for a longer duration, considering future prospects. This paper examines the state of green building construction today and makes recommendations for further study and development which will be necessary for a sustainable future. In order to encourage research, this study also identified a few possible future research directions in sustainable development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/en15186631","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,12]],"date-time":"2022-09-12T22:53:46Z","timestamp":1663023226000},"page":"6631","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":100,"title":["Innovation in Green Building Sector for Sustainable Future"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3274-6275","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chandan","family":"Meena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIR\u2014Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee 247667, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4099-935X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ashwani","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technical Education Department Uttar Pradesh, Kanpur 208024, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0579-2823","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siddharth","family":"Jain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Cluster, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun 248007, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5203-0621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ateeq","family":"Rehman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, Uni de Moncton, Moncton, NB E1A3E9, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1095-9920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sachin","family":"Mishra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Electrical, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara 144001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naveen","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering Department, I.
