Abstract: With the continuous development of China's construction industry, the realization of environmental protection on the basis of ensuring the performance of materials has become a hot topic. It is found that in the construction process, the application of new building materials has significant advantages in energy conservation, thermal insulation and environmental protection. It can ensure the building insulation performance at the same time, reduce the construction energy consumption, effectively reduce the environmental pollution, so it has a positive role in promoting the green development of the construction industry. Based on this, this paper introduces the advantages of new energy-saving and environmental protection materials, and studies the specific application and development prospect of new building materials in the current building development, in order to realize the green development of construction industry.
