Sourcing and manufacturing building materials also contribute a great deal to climate change. Builders are now exploring sustainable construction materials to replace things like concrete, which is a major source of emissions. This post rounds up some notable examples of sustainable construction materials.

BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Unfortunately, too much emphasis has been placed upon 3-D visualization and other technology components vs. the process of life-cycle management. Consequently, the need for value management emerges.

Local product sourcing receives a lot of attention in green building rating systems, but the geographic limit it imposes considers only the transportation impacts of material selection. It does not take into account all the other potential environmental impacts that form part of the overall ecological profile of a material.
