Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The construction industry is widely regarded as destructive towards the natural environment and wasteful of finite resources. Many researchers and practitioners are seeking to improve industry performance and reduce its deleterious impacts. We value new research papers addressing potential solutions that will lead to a more sustainable construction industry. These may relate to operational energy usage, water efficiency, embodied energy, embodied carbon, waste minimisation, pollution reduction, indoor air quality, smart building monitors as well as reuse and recycling of building materials. Related topic areas will also be considered for this Special Issue. We are interested in the development of ideas and systems which will lift industry performance on a triple bottom line basis.
Dr. Mary Hardie
Guest Editor
