Sustainability Environment and Construction

Introduction Today, studies on the design and use of building materials to minimize environmental impacts have been developed, and environmental problems in the construction and construction of global resources and the construction work are caused by environmental risks and pollution (Ding 2008). )). However, it is not enough (Ding 2008) to deal with sustainability and construction goals based on the design and project itself, or to mitigate the impact through appropriate site management.

Existing research shows that construction activities are the main cause of environmental pollution. Therefore, sustainable development is the answer to reduce the main impact on the environment. For sustainability, the construction industry itself must be top priority and most sustainable. There are three factors related to sustainable development, economic, social and environmental factors. Economic sustainability includes improving profitability and competitiveness. Sustainability of social elements includes all aspects of providing buildings and infrastructure that satisfies the satisfaction of users and stakeholders. On the other hand, the sustainability of the environment considers conservation of the natural ecosystem and minimization of the environmental impact, as well as concerns about consumption of energy and natural resources. In short, sustainable buildings contribute to sustainable development.

As the construction industry has a major impact on the environment, the introduction of sustainable buildings is essential. According to Than, the sustainable construction of Shen and Ya refers to the integration of environmental, social and economic factors into the business strategy and practice of the building. The principles of sustainable development apply from the extraction of raw materials to the integrated building cycle, from building and infrastructure planning, design, construction, dismantling and management of final waste, management. However, Hamid, Noor, Kamal, Gani, Zain, Rahim further explained that sustainable building is the creation and responsible maintenance of a healthy building environment based on the ecological principle and efficient use of resources did.
