Abstract: Green building is an appeal for environmental friendliness and the foundation for the development of an economical society. Green building is an inevitable requirement for the sustainable development of construction industry, and it is also the development direction of architecture in the world today. According to the definition of green building in the Evaluation Standard of Green Building, green building refers to a building that can improve the utilization rate of resources (energy, land, water and materials) and reduce emissions during the whole life cycle of the building. It can also protect the environment, reduce pollution, provide people with healthy, applicable and efficient space utilization, and live in harmony with nature.

However, the one-time construction cost of green buildings is higher, and it is more difficult to operate and maintain. Some buildings in China are still in the traditional design stage, aiming at meeting people's basic needs. Therefore, in the process of building green buildings and improving the quality of green buildings, it will bring a certain increase in construction costs. The cost is different from the quality and building standards of green buildings. In order to promote the construction of green building, we should consider the economy of green building and give full play to the guiding role of green building cost. In addition, it is necessary to manage its life cycle costs.
