Introduction

This research aims to provide the clear indication about the effect of applying green building in reducing environmental Pollution and the harmful health effects caused by the Jordanian construction firms operating in the capital Amman city, For this purpose many researchers have been conducted and adapted to find out the most beneficial ways to reduce environmental pollution from the construction activities to save the environment and the economics of the country through the optimal usage of the scarce natural resources that the country is suffering from in terms of water and energy resources coupled with the growth of population becomes a very critical problem.
