Green Building Construction: Strategies and Practices for Sustainable Project Management

This thesis investigates sustainable construction practices and project management strategies aimed at fulfilling environmental objectives. It examines the definition of eco-friendly structures and analyzes the fundamental elements required for promoting sustainability in construction. Across the nation, several evaluation frameworks are in place, both within private enterprises and public institutions, with the LEED rating system developed by the United States Green Building Council standing out as the most prominent. Within the LEED system, multiple rating categories tackle distinct aspects of sustainability.The research emphasizes the importance of green building practices over conventional construction methods and scrutinizes green building techniques, with a specific emphasis on construction phases. Traditional buildings exacerbate environmental harm by emitting greenhouse gases, producing construction and demolition waste, depleting natural resources, and consuming excessive amounts of energy and water.Through the adoption of straightforward and sustainable practices on a case-by-case basis, it becomes feasible to develop eco-conscious structures that reduce resource usage while remaining economically viable. The study investigates green building construction methodologies and pioneering technologies geared towards sustainability. It encompasses design principles, procedural approaches, material specifications, and offers recommendations for developing a construction checklist to guide builders through each project phase.
