“…Sustainable construction is a vital consideration in the modern world due to growing concerns about environmental degradation, resource depletion, and climate change (Karra et al, 2016). Traditional concrete production, particularly the manufacturing of cement, is energy-intensive and generates a significant amount of carbon dioxide emissions (Awolusi et al, 2013).…”
