In response to the increasing public concern over the effects of construction waste on the environment, a performance assessment system has been designed to provide an instant, online assessment of how well a construction site performs environmentally, e.g. measuring the level of pollution...

With the rise in the public concern on environmental protection, more construction firms start to apply environmental management for their construction activities. As a result, environmental management systems (EMS) have been implemented in construction. However, to improve the construction...

There is a growing concern about environmental impacts resulting from construction activities. To help minimize the environmental impacts from construction, Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) have been advocated and in some cases, implemented. Within the construction industry, Environmental...

Construction industry highly relies upon the human resources to complete construction tasks. Thereby, overall profitability of the company may affect the human motivation and vice versa. Further, the inflation of a country can have pernicious implications to the profitability. This project...

Occupant behaviour has a significant impact on the overall energy performance of a building. The lack of awareness, misinformation and misunderstanding of the buildings’ systems and features are some of the key elements that impact the use of energy in buildings. This paper presents the...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a best practice framework for PPP implementation for construction projects in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach: This study adopted a multi-stage critical review and analysis of past studies on the attributes of PPP implementation (i.e. critical...

Purpose: Prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) is a game-changing construction method that transforms the fragmented site-based construction of buildings into an integrated production, integration and assembly of value-added volumetric building components. Where circumstances...
