Materials Management in Sustainable Construction Engineering [Hardcover]

Sustainable construction engineering focuses on reducing the negative impacts of construction on the environment. This process starts from the very beginning of construction like choosing recycled materials, efficient use of resources, reducing waste, etc. This book focuses on such practices, new technologies and methods for optimization. Materials efficiency, ecological design, waste management, integration of renewable energy systems, etc. are some of the topics discussed in this extensive text. This book will serve as a reference material for a broad spectrum of readers such as civil engineers, architects, environmentalists and students associated with this field.Sustainable construction engineering focuses on reducing the negative impacts of construction on the environment.
