Although, in modern day construction projects, green technology is applied to offer an increasing demand and higher market values for its facilities. This paper utilizes review of various literature to expose the drifts of green technology applications from first solving conceptual sustainable design problems such as diminishing returns, unstable investment, waste prevention, etc. Using sustainable design principle-guidelines with a well-grounded understanding of the technology life cycle. Some values of green technology application, and challenges facing green technologies adoption in construction processes are identified. Finally, since the stir of the 21st century construction industry is towards sustainable development, and for any built environment in any country to achieve its sustainable goals for sustainable development, this paper ascertains that all effort should be geared towards adopting green technology in construction projects.
