This paper comprehensively discusses the application of high-performance building technologies in green buildings and their economic implications. The study reveals that by adopting high-performance building technologies such as energy efficiency technologies, water resource management, sustainable material selection, waste management, and indoor environmental quality control, the environmental and economic benefits of buildings can be significantly enhanced. Although the initial investment cost is high, the long-term energy savings and environmental benefits prove the cost-effectiveness of these technologies. Policy incentives, market education, and professional training are crucial for promoting the application of high-performance building technologies. The paper also identifies challenges in implementation and proposes targeted policy recommendations and practical guidance. Finally, the study points out research limitations and suggests future research directions, aiming to promote the widespread adoption and implementation of green buildings to achieve sustainable development in the construction industry.
