Abstract
As the threat from global warming grew stronger in the turn of the century, green building and sustainable architecture are rapidly moving from the periphery to the mainstream architecture. The need for green building is generally acknowledged by professionals in built environment and there have been many attempts to enlightened professionals about the consequence of global warming and why we must adopt to the current demands of Sustainability. Also the tropical environment is faced with some negative climatic impacts as a result of high radiation received from the Sun. The impact is especially felt in the area of human thermal comfort and the environment at large. The extreme climatic conditions prevalent in tropical region, witnessed almost throughout the year leads to high rate of energy consumption for cooling the building interior and the surrounding environment. This paper present green building as a way to sustained the built environment in tropical region through reduction in cooling loads within building interiors also the use of landscape elements to enhance and reduce drastically the climatic effects in other to achieve maximum sustainable built environment.
