Abstract
The construction industry is one of the largest consumers of raw materials and energy, contributing significantly to environmental degradation. The development of green building materials is essential to reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector while maintaining the performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness of buildings. Chemical engineering plays a key role in the design and optimization of green building materials by applying principles of material science, sustainability, and process optimization. This article explores the contributions of chemical engineering in the development of green building materials, focusing on innovations in material design, energy efficiency, resource utilization, and the reduction of environmental impact.
