This study aims to implement the "green smart home" concept for enhancing public health and indoor environmental quality. Numerous health issues, such as metal poisoning, respiratory infections, asthma, accidents, and mental health, are linked to unfavorable living conditions. This is the time for public health to encourage sustainable housing and create healthier homes. The COVID-19 pandemic was a sickness that spread quickly and resulted in deaths all across the world. There is a pressing need to stop the infection from spreading because there is currently no treatment. Isolating the afflicted individuals, ensuring adequate ventilation, practicing hand cleanliness, and using personal protective equipment are all preventive methods. The scientific community has been actively involved in tracking the Corona virus and its effects on plans, policies, and the socio-environment. In order to counteract COVID-19, the alternative has been to promote intelligent and sustainable house planning. Modern green home technology includes features like temperature control, lighting management, air quality enhancement, water quality improvement, and hygienic maintenance. It also makes homes smarter and more energy-efficient. The utility of sustainable housing and green smart homes, which is fundamental to human health, has been presented in this review.
