A building speaks about its existence, its history, its construction process, and how its creator made it different, the materials used, and its foundation.
Sustainable construction is creating a structure by using processes that are eco-friendly and efficient in the building’s life cycle. It also aims at reducing the impact caused by construction on our health and environment.
This can be achieved by using materials that have eco-friendly properties and are sustainable. Activities that involve construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction can offer remarkable inputs towards this objective as a large quantity of materials is required by all these segments.
We must take a fresh approach towards building better structures with a focus on the buildings’ lifecycle and utility along with resource management.
Sustainable construction must meet the three main elements: environmental, social, and economical. Benefits of sustainable construction include cost budgeting, waste reduction, optimum and wholesome utilization of materials, environmental management, enhanced output, and a better standard of living, meeting contemporary market requirements with scope for future innovations.
