Leed-certified building: advancing sustainable development goals through green design

The paper examines how green construction techniques affect the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by analyzing an in-depth investigation of a LEED-certified structure. The goal of the study is to make valuable contributions and insights to the ongoing discourse on sustainable urban development. Aspects of green construction in attaining sustainability in the economy, society, and environment are discussed in the opening section of the study. The scholarly study offers a comprehensive analysis of the SDGs, the environmental benefits of green buildings, and the applicability of LEED certification and a synthesis of prior research on the subject. The methodology section details the selection process of the case study, along with the employed data collection methods, including surveys, interviews, and documentation analysis. The subsequent section delves into the specifics of the LEED-certified building under investigation, elucidating its green design features, the certification process, and stakeholder involvement. The impact assessment section evaluates the building's contributions to the preservation of the environment, positive impact on the welfare of the people, and a vibrant economy, contextualizing these findings within the framework of the SDGs. Challenges and limitations encountered during the study are discussed, accompanied by reflections on lessons learned and areas for improvement. A comparative analysis of non-green buildings and an exploration of industry trends form the basis of the subsequent section. The paper concludes with recommendations for policy interventions and practical suggestions for future green building projects, emphasizing the role of such initiatives in advancing SDGs. This study advances knowledge of the real-world difficulties and advantages associated with using green construction concepts, offering valuable guidance for policymakers, industry professionals, and advocates of sustainable urban development.
