Sustainable construction: construction and demolition waste reconsidered.
Construction activity in Europe has increased substantially in the past decade. Likewise, there has also been a commensurate rise in the generation of construction and demolition waste (C&DW). This, together with the fact that in many European countries the rate of recycling and reuse of C&DW is still quite low has engendered a serious environmental problem and a motivation to develop strategie...
متن کاملSustainable Employment , Integration and Sustainable Energy Development
This paper considers the development of ‘green’ jobs in Scotland where the government has sought to develop renewable and sustainable energy industries and associated employment. It analyses the government employment forecasts/projections and compares them to the actual results, considering the reasons for the lower actual job creation. While there are some specific skills development initiativ...
متن کاملVisualization of Sustainable Construction
The excessive amount of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions in the recent years has caused a major global warming problem. Although historically GHGs have been a natural source of warming in the atmosphere, yet in the past two decade or so, their adversarial effects have been more sensed and reported. Among the sources of these emissions, transportation is responsible for more than 50% of these rel...
متن کاملSustainable Biocomposites for Construction
Typical construction materials and practices have a large ecological footprint. Many materials are energyintensive to produce, and construction and demolition debris constitutes a large percentage of U.S. landfill volume. Biocomposites are structural materials made from renewable resources that biodegrade in an anaerobic environment after their useful service life to produce a fuel or feedstock...
متن کاملTowards environmentally sustainable human behaviour: targeting non-conscious and conscious processes for effective and acceptable policies
Meeting climate change targets to limit global warming to 2°C requires rapid and large reductions in demand for products that most contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These include production of bulk materials (e.g. steel and cement), energy supply (e.g. fossil fuels) and animal source foods (particularly ruminants and their products). Effective strategies to meet these targets requir...
