Long description:

This book aims to provide insights into rethinking pathways in the transition to sustainable built environments in the wake of the pandemic and COP26. It examines our abilities and capabilities to leverage resources to the best use for achieving the universal sustainable development goals. The goal is to identify fresh thinking to make the goals of sustainable built environment more achievable, particularly to align with the national and international targets set by COP26. The book will help address the need for mainstreaming sustainability into the core of decision making of buildings and infrastructure projects throughout the life cycle from planning, to design, construction and operation. This book consolidates a comprehensive body of knowledge of sustainable development that will equip industry professionals, educators, scholars, and students with knowledge and skills to deliver sustainability practice within the built environment. Through theoretical underpinning and presentation of best practices, the book offers solutions to advance the development of sustainability practices in the context of the built environment. The book covers the following content:


 


?        Sharing of best practice and case studies


?        Review of Sustainability Contemporary Practices in the Built Environment


?        Innovative Net Zero/ Carbon neutral solutions and strategies


?        Sustainable building assessment and certification systems


?        Key Sustainability Deliverables in the Built Environment


?        Social Transition towards Sustainability


 


The book will be of value to interested scholars and practitioners who are involved in sustainable design and engineering practice within the built environment.
