Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The construction industry is a significant contributor to countries’ gross domestic product (GDP). However, it produces substantially more waste compared to other industries, such as automobiles. This Special Issue invites scholars interested in examining and studying alternatives, including materials, technologies, and methods, that could enhance the sustainability of the construction industry. This includes all works that could improve the social, environmental, and economic aspects of the construction industry. There will be a focus on issues related to sustainable approaches in the construction industry to reduce waste and mass consumption, integration of advanced construction technologies and environmentalism, sustainable building maintenance, life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle cost (LCC), machine learning, building information modeling, and virtual reality.
