“…The huge consumption of material resources by the construction industry has been identified as one of the major contributors to climate change [1]. This is due to the enormous consumption of energy during the production of construction materials, which results in corresponding high emissions of GHGs [1,61]. Reference [61] noted that steel, concrete, and aluminium are amongst the highest emitters of carbon within the sector.…”

“…This is due to the enormous consumption of energy during the production of construction materials, which results in corresponding high emissions of GHGs [1,61]. Reference [61] noted that steel, concrete, and aluminium are amongst the highest emitters of carbon within the sector. Similarly, in the review of literature done by [44] on the assessment of embodied carbon ('cradle-to-end of construction') of high-rise buildings, the authors discovered that most of the reviewed articles stated that steel and concrete are responsible for the highest carbon emitted when it comes to consumption of materials.…”

“…Reference [61] described the construction method as a practice that dictates construction activities, tools to be used, construction material optimisation, as well as waste to be generated on-site. Consequently, the construction work sequence should be properly planned to realise lower carbon emissions [42].…”

Holistic Review of Construction Process Carbon-Reduction Measures: A Systematic Literature Review Approach

The fragmented nature of construction operations makes it challenging to implement carbon-reduction strategies. However, attaining a holistic construction sector decarbonisation hinges upon ensuring all aspects of a construction project’s lifecycle are decarbonised, including the construction process stage. Therefore, to mitigate the implementation challenge of reducing the levels of carbon involved in construction processes, this study attempts to synthesise and categorise carbon-reduction strategies that could be employed to decrease the carbon footprint during a construction projects’ delivery. To achieve the aim of this study, a systematic literature review approach was adopted. Based on this technique, a total of 26 relevant articles within the built environment research area were eligible for the study, and their analysis revealed 56 carbon minimisation measures, which were summarised into nine distinct categories to ease their application and overcome the construction operations’ complexities. The nine categories include material transport, waste transport, materials and equipment, waste, materials, on-site office, on-site lighting, on-site transportation of material and equipment, and construction methods. The findings of this study provide contractors with a suite of measures that can be deployed to reduce the carbon impact of construction project delivery.

“…Environmentally aware clients and owners play a significant role in promoting sustainable and environmentally conscious design and construction in their capital projects (Murtagh et al, 2016). Throughout the lifecycle of the project, owners can have decisive roles such as choosing sustainable designs and concepts, prioritizing low-carbon building materials, and utilizing renewable energy (Agung Wibowo et al, 2018). Such decisive roles can impose pressure on project parties to adopt environmentally conscious practices or rethink existing ones.…”

In a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment, organizational change has been a central concern for capital project organizations, that continue to suffer from poor project performance in a growing industry. As such, capital project organizations must understand the changing environment and the factors driving change within their organizations to remain successful in a changing environment and adapt to change. To help the capital projects industry achieve successful organizational change efforts, this paper aims to 1) identify the external factors that are pushing capital project organizations to change and 2) investigate whether these factors impact organizations differently. To achieve the desired objective, a total of 22 PESTEL (political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal) factors were identified and validated with a group of 14 subject matter experts and defined via the context of literature. Then, the factors were evaluated via an online survey to understand whether they impact organizations differently based on their age maturity (including contemporary, transitional, and legacy organizations) and type of work (including owners, contractors, and service providers). Findings from this study can provide capital project practitioners and researchers with valuable insights needed to understand the external factors shaping change within the industry.

Air pollution and air pollutants effect on humans and the atmosphere in general, is now an issue of great concern to researchers globally. Consequently, efficient mitigating strategies need to be introduced for the sake of the environment and most importantly human health. To this effect, this study aims to investigate possible ways through which architecture can help curb air pollution and air pollutants in the atmosphere through innovative architectural design strategies and controlled construction practices, with specific guidelines on how to achieve these strategies. The study in the quest to achieve the above aim employed the literature review research design, with particular reference to works of literature that dwelt on innovative and sustainable design strategies within the built environment. Evidence in literature reveals that air pollution is one of the major issues faced by man due to high level of industrialization and lots of other human activities, with a majority of the research dwelling on how pollutants are being generated but just a few studies dealt on how architectural and construction practices contribute to air pollution and the possible ways to reduce the effect of air pollution and air pollutant to the atmosphere through innovative design strategies, which is where this study plays a major role in filling that gap. The research finding from this study ascertained that all stages of building development projects from the inception of the project to its deconstruction release pollutants into the atmosphere. It concludes that the most effective way of controlling air pollution within the built environment is through the use of greenery (bio facade) and adopting a sustainable design system. The study will help inform government environmental agencies, architects, urban planners, builders, and all other stakeholders in the built environment on sustainable ways to tackle air pollution in the urban areas, most especially where there is no luxury of land for the planting of trees and vegetation.
