CONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIL BUILDINGS AND ITS IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
A close coordination between environmental engineers and the construction industry has resulted
in an environmental profiling system that enables designers and constructors to select materials
and components with the lowest environmental impact. Construction has long been recognised as
one of the most resource-hungry and the least sustainable industries in the world. However we
continue to depend on buildings of all kinds – our homes, offices, hospitals, shops, cultural
centres and more. Despite increasing awareness of the need to develop a sustainable approach
within the construction industry, this proved difficult without a reliable method of evaluating and
comparing the environmental impacts of different construction materials
