Sustainable construction is important for reducing energy use, saving water, and lowering environmental damage, but it is still difficult to implement widely in India. One of the main reasons is the high upfront cost of green materials, energy-efficient systems, and certification processes. Although these buildings save money in the long run, many developers focus on immediate expenses.
A major practical issue is the lack of skilled labor and technical knowledge. Many workers, contractors, and even some designers are not trained to handle green building methods properly.
