Energy saving is a necessary aspect in today’s global progression. In the present investigation, the green materials for houses are taken and assessed on the usability in the desert conditions of the United Arab Emirates(U.A.E.) Major parameters such as resistance to solar radiation, weathering according to the local conditions plays a vital role in selecting materials. All the selected materials strictly fall within the local and international green ratings. This is then infused into a home design and the comparison is done in this house on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis showing the difference in temperatures and wind profiles. Results have been done for 100 cycles of fluid flow and the energy consumption has been done. This study gives insights on the importance of using green materials in design and construction.
