The Role of Virtual Reality in Green Building Design

Green buildings have now become the basis of the ideal sustainable development. The application of the green building concept can be seen from three points of view, namely environmental, economic, and social aspects. Virtual Reality allows researchers to conduct realtime analytical studies of green building indicators and compare them with scenarios at the next design stage. This paper discusses the role of Virtual Reality in green building. The methodology in this paper uses a literature study research method, the data obtained are compiled, analysed, and concluded, to get a conclusion about the role of Virtual Reality in green building. From several literature studies, there are many things that can be done by Virtual Reality technology in applying the concept of green building.
