students in the construction management discipline., the three types of research that will be described in this paper are scholarly journals, trade journals and popular magazines, these will also be accompanied with examples of a research topics. Students can use these researching strategies for the following: essays, lab reports, reviews, and annotations. Knowledge of these resources will ensure success in the program. Sustainability is becoming an ongoing trend in construction. This word in reference
1. INTRODUCTION The activation of the application of the concepts and practices of sustainability and green architecture in the construction industry will lead to finding appropriate solutions to the problems of environmental, economic and functional. Green architecture and sustainable buildings is not a luxury academically, and do not approach the theory or the aspirations and dreams have no place in reality, but because they represent a global trend for the application and start to be professional
Abstract This research project will be investigating the building methods and policies that govern the construction of new offices within the UK. My research has be conducted through a combination of both interview and analysis of the available literature in order to provide a comprehensive review, and to also gain a thorough understanding of policies adopted in the UK with regards to sustainable office development. Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present
enormous amounts of materials for their construction. The need for earth-based materials makes impacts of energy consumption, resource depletion and natural degradation. (5) (McEntire, 2004). thus, to preserve nature we can use glass cullet to replace a certain amount of natural aggregate as sates by Finkle & Ksaibati in their study Recycled Glass Utilization In Highway Construction.
Sustainable construction When it comes to building assessment methods, this theme led to many and different forms of studies on the relationship between the project team integration and the sustainable construction. Comparing dominant construction strategies with sustainable construction, Lutzkendorf & Lorenz (2011) argue that, on one hand, sustainable construction requires greater disciplinary specialization and greater functional dependence between components. On the other hand, traditional construction
ABSTRACT The link between sustainable construction and the construction industry itself is inextricable. The two elements of the concept are the cause and effect. Crudely put: sustainable construction is facilitated by the construction industry, and yet the construction industry has the greatest effect of the core factors of sustainable construction in terms of ecology, social and economic ways. To enable ambitions and targets listed within white papers such as the Sustainable Development Plan (2005)

“green,” essence of nature or love and care for mother earth. In the context of construction, this means placing plants in buildings, installing green roofs and use local construction materials. Sustainability is much more than a green coat concept draped over buildings. Sustainability is strong, a courageous idea that would change the future. To sustain is to withstand and endure without “giving away.” A sustainable civilization should not empty natural resources and endanger the environment. To
“Buildings consume more resources than necessary, negatively impact the environment, and generate a large amount of waste.” U.S. Department of Energy, 2003 The challenge, today, is to build intelligently, so that buildings use a minimum of non-renewable resources and produce a minimum of pollution and wastes, while increasing the well-being of the occupants. This paper is an effort to understand the importance of building materials’ selection in sustainable design and the place of traditional
One of the main goals for the design team is to improve the environment and to achieve sustainable development. A number of tools have been created by LEED in order to improve the quality in construction projects. These advantages have changed how buildings are designed, assembled and maintained. During the design phase the following items need to be deeply thought out to achieve a good quality building: 1) Energy Conservation 2) Comfortable lightening, sound, and temperature 3) Acquisition, Installation
