Construction and the Environment
The construction industry accounts for 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Unsustainable construction methods are a major contributor to this problem because they consume a lot of energy and emit enormous amounts of waste.
Therefore, shifting to sustainable construction methods is an excellent way to minimise greenhouse gas emissions from the construction industry.
The green building industry has come a long way in recent years, and sustainable construction methods prioritise recyclable and renewable materials to conserve the earth’s resources.
10 sustainable construction methods:
1. Using Green Construction Materials
2. Prioritising Local Sustainable Materials
3. Incorporating Greywater Recycling Systems
4. Incorporating Modular Construction Techniques
5. Using Green Roofs
6. Using Rammed Earth Building Materials
7. Incorporating Rainwater Harvesting Systems
8. Investing in Water-Efficient Products
9. Making Use of Renewable Energy Sources
10. Selecting a Sustainable Site Location
