Traditional construction technology is a construction method and technology acquired by mankind through historical accumulation and practical verification. It respects local culture, environment, and resources, utilizes natural ventilation and lighting, and relies on topography and climate to achieve sustainable construction. Through literature review and case analysis, this article explores the role and impact of traditional construction technology in the sustainable economy, defines traditional construction technology, and analyzes its advantages in the sustainable economy, including resource conservation, environmental friendliness, Cultural promotion effect, etc. We then demonstrate the application of traditional construction techniques in modern construction practices through case studies and explore their multiple economic, social, and environmental impacts. Finally, we point out that promoting traditional construction technologies to play a greater role in a sustainable economy requires policy support, technological innovation, and market recognition.
