Sustainable Construction Engineering and Management

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainability is increasingly a requirement of building projects. Consequently, the fields of construction management, project management, and engineering are called on to recalibrate work practices and processes to align them with sustainability objectives. The scope of opportunities for engaging with sustainable practices is large, ranging all the way from mining and procurement, through design, materials, and components manufacture; transportation; assembly; commissioning; operations; maintenance; and refurbishing, to eventual demolition and disposal. In the midst of all this are smart technologies, and ever-sophisticated operational systems that potentially augment sustainable outcomes.

This Special Issue welcomes articles that speak to the challenges and opportunities for sustainable construction, in all its facets. Topics raised may be technical, focusing on specific operational or procedural solutions; they may be project-focused, encompassing more holistic approaches; or they may target the company or industry at a strategic level. Articles that explore social or economic considerations with respect to the built environment are also welcome.
