“…For sure, the LCA method does not lend itself to determine the correlation between the economic and environmental impacts attributed to the usage of alternative materials. Kwon et al [12] estimated the environmental cost of pollutants per environmental impact category by measuring the environmental recovery fee using contingent valuation method. These results were used to represent the environmental impact that occur during the life-cycle of road projects as an expense.…”

“…According to this study, material production is the major source of energy consumption and greenhouse gases and pollutants emissions and there is the greatest environmental impact in the construction stage, where more than 80% of the materials are consumed. In addition, Kwon et al [12] and Chan [13] evaluated the financial cost by comprehensively incorporating the cost items associated with environmental impacts into LCCA and converting environmental impacts into expenses. Thus, the soundness of these methods may appear to be dependent on the measure and application criteria for integrating the environmental impact into an economic outlook.…”

For road pavements, hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and Portland cement concrete (PCC) are the materials most commonly used. In the selection of one of these materials, their economic performance and environmental performance are evaluated to determine which material exhibits excellent overall performance. However, no overall performance assessment exists in the construction community attributed to the lack of method providing easy-to-use and informative criteria for the decision-making process. Thus, in this paper, a new method that enables a comprehensive overall performance assessment is proposed, which is called Improved Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability. After an eco-economic life-cycle assessment is performed, along with environmental performance and economic performance evaluation, the best-fit pavement material can be selected. This method has proven that the use of HMA for road pavements reduces the environmental impact by 27.1%P (i.e., percentage point), whereas the use of PCC reduces cost by 19.7%P. The existing Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES) method shows that the performances of both HMA and PCC were over-assessed by 4.6%P and 7.4%P, respectively, since the environmental performance and economic performance cannot be computed quantitatively by incorporating the environmental and cost impact index into existing BEES model, the Improved BEES method accurately projects environmental performance and economic performance attained through the application of the environmental and cost impact index, hence, encouraging more informed decision. This method facilitates in articulating a quality decision making through the consideration of both the environmental performance and economic performance, hence reducing unnecessary costs generated from the trial and error due to the use of the existing method. Moreover, it promotes the development of a sustainable construction technology.

Some current trends and prospects of the world construction industry development from environmental economics position are presented in article. The increased role of innovations and their influence on the competitiveness of construction company in the context of economic, social and ecological components is analyzed. Reduction of some negative impact of all the types of technological processes of construction on the environment is connected with the growth of innovative opportunities. This research proves the need of overcoming technical and technological lag for the development of the construction industry by the means of introduction of business processes management instruments. Justification of reengineering as an effective way of transformation of the technology of construction production is made. The algorithm of stage-by-stage reengineering of business processes, offered in the article is the instrument of effective introduction of technological innovations in the construction companies according to current ecological requirements.
