Green building, or the sustainable use of biomass in construction, is a concept for the design and construction of buildings with a lower environmental impact and higher resource efficiency. In recent years, the construction sector has recognized that the introduction of more environmentally friendly methods is crucial to halting global warming and protecting natural resources. The use of biomass as a bio-based material from naturally occurring, renewable resources is a key component of green building. These materials have the potential to completely change the way buildings are designed and constructed, while offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional building materials. The paper gives a brief overview of the benefits of using these materials in construction. At the same time, there are challenges and limitations to the application of biomaterials, so the scientific community is continuously investing in research to overcome these obstacles. With this in mind, the paper also gives a brief overview of the literature in this field, focusing on lignocellulosic materials and by-products of agricultural production. The physical-mechanical, economic and ecological properties of concrete produced by incorporating lignocellulosic/agricultural waste into the cement matrix were the subject of these research, which led to some very intriguing results.
