With the development of living standard, people spend more time indoors, and the diversified home decoration will lead to indoor hazardous gas emission. Among them, formaldehyde (HCHO) is one of the most important sources of indoor air pollution, which is commonly found in building materials as a human carcinogen. To address this issue, we developed highly efficient multifunctional green building coatings (GBC) by TiO₂, enhancement silica fume (ESF) and spent fluid catalytic cracking catalysts (sFCCC). Among these prepared GBC, the GBC-0.8 exhibited HCHO removal efficiency of 85.0 % under visible light at ambient temperature, which was much higher than that of commercial coatings (30.8%). In addition, moisture adsorption-desorption carrier tests were executed by different humidity. The humidity control capacity of GBC-0.8 could reach 293.8 g/m² and demonstrate superior stability after 3 cycles. Compared with pristine TiO₂, the addition of ESF and sFCCC showed higher specific surface area and pore size distribution, which was beneficial to improve humidity control and photocatalytic degradation performance. This study provides a promising green method for designing multifunctional green building materials coatings to recycle waste into high-value products and remove HCHO at room temperature

$Fe_2O_3,\;Ag_2O,\;CaWO_4$ and $Gd_2O_2S$:Tb loaded on titanium dioxide photocatalysts (P25, Degussa) were prepared by a calcination. Their composite films containing water-born polyurethane used as a material for immobilization were obtained by spray coating technique. The photocatalytic activity of the titanium dioxide films was characterized by decrease of UV-vis absorption spectra for methylene blue and gas chromatography for photocatalytic decomposition of formaldehyde diluted in water. It was shown that the $Gd_2O_2S$:Tb modified titanium dioxide films had good photocatalytic properties and followed the first-order kinetic model with regard to photocatalytic decoloration of methylene blue. Especially in formaldehyde photodegradation experiment, decrease rate of concentration of the titanium dioxide films with $Gd_2O_2S$:Tb modifying was about 35% larger than that of the unloaded titanium dioxide film.
