Green building is one of measures been put forward to mitigate significant impacts of the buildings on the environment, society and economy. However, there is lack of a systematic review of this large number of studies that is critical for the garment industry in particular. This paper specifically focuses on the garment sector and derive various technologies that can be adopted in garment industry.This paper reports a critical review of the existing body of knowledge of research related to green building. It also compares the various certification authorities for Green Buildings which are recognised all over the world. Moreover, the paper also discusses various technologies that can be adopted for making a building. These technologies can be easily adopted by the garment industry that will eventually help the Garment sector to increase production, efficiency etc. by simultaneously reducing the effect of the garment factories on the surroundings.
