Produktbeschreibung

This book illuminates fundamental knowledge and provides a comprehensive guide for those seeking to understand the intricacies of sustainable development and construction in Asia. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific aspect of sustainable construction, offering in-depth analysis, case studies, and practical insights.

The main characteristic of this book is a comprehensive exploration and integration of research, practices, and innovations, emphasizing the importance of academic research and practical implementations in driving sustainable construction. The advanced project management methods towards sustainable construction are explained, including life cycle management, sustainable procurement, risk management, lean construction, and integrated project delivery. Smart construction technologies are illustrated, for example, 3D printing, BIM (building information modelling), industrialized, prefabricated, and digital technologies like eXtended reality, machine learning, digital twins, big data, blockchain, Internet of Things, and cloud construction technologies. Particularly, the relationships and differences among off-site, industrialized, prefabricated, modular, panelized, and hybrid construction are displayed. Finally, practical on-site construction techniques and valuable sustainable construction materials are demonstrated in shaping sustainable practices.

This book will be of interest to practitioners, researchers, and consultants in the general field of sustainable development in construction.
