“…Sustainability goals and their close relationship with the construction sector were analysed by Jaglan and Korde, with a view to promoting a collaborative and synergistic approach in order to achieve a successful result. In [37], explanations were provided regarding the ways in which the construction sector affects greenhouse gas emissions, the main strategies to be adopted for decarbonisation, and the ways that parties involved could benefit from the process. In addition, Andrews and Jain investigated the effects of the implementation of various performance standards for commercial buildings in 15 cities in the U.S. from 2024 to 2050 in order to evaluate the potential reduction in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from different new building performance standards [38].…”

“…The topic of cooperation among academics, stakeholders in the construction sector (clients, architects, engineers, producers, and financiers), and policy makers to promote the pursuit of strategic environmental objectives in the construction sector was addressed by Jaglan and Korde. They highlighted the actions that different parties can take in terms of future recommendations, including promotion of the reuse of components and the use of materials associated with lower CO 2 emissions [37].…”

In light of the growing demand for sustainability in the construction sector and real estate market, the European Community (EC) has recently begun incentivizing renovations of private and public European buildings. This aligns with the EC’s aim to reduce harmful emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and to achieve complete decarbonization of buildings, i.e., zero harmful emissions in this sector, by 2050. Given this framework, this study aims to verify the financial viability associated with the construction of “green” buildings, as well as the associated monetary benefits related to the efficient nature of these buildings and the resulting reduction in energy consumption. Lastly, an investigation is conducted to determine the economic feasibility of energy retrofit initiatives on existing building assets by comparing the required costs to retrofit against the potential increase in market value of a retrofitted residential unit. Along with assessing the undisputed environmental advantages for the community and all building users, this research aims to assess the financial and economic feasibility of sustainable construction initiatives, providing insight into how best to pursue the EC’s aims.

The objective of this article is to assess the carbon footprint across the Continuous Deep Mixing Method (CDMM) life cycle, considering its implementation in the context of sustainable, zero-emission, and decarbonising construction. Amidst global climate change challenges of greenhouse gas emissions in the construction sector, the CDMM emerges as a potentially effective solution to mitigate environmental impact. This study aims to address the gap in the existing scientific literature by evaluating the environmental aspects of CDMM application, with a focus on identifying primary emission sources. This research extends beyond the conventional focus on construction materials to include energy consumption from equipment and transportation, offering a holistic view of the technology’s environmental impact. This analysis identified cement as the major greenhouse gas emission source for the CDMM, underscoring the technology’s potential as an alternative to traditional geotechnical methods, in line with integrated design solutions and meeting growing social expectations for sustainability. The added value of this study comes from data derived from an actual project, enabling a realistic assessment of CDMM’s environmental impact and resource and energy efficiency.
