Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Against the macro background of increasingly severe global environmental problems and scarce resources, the construction industry, as a significant source of energy consumption and carbon emissions, is in urgent need of realizing sustainable development. How to properly coordinate the balance between construction demand and ecological environment protection in the process of urbanization has become a core challenge for the construction industry.
In order to promote the green transformation, sustainable development and overall progress of the construction industry, this Special Issue focuses on a number of key directions in the field of building construction and invites researchers to actively publish their latest research results, and jointly explore the new concepts, technologies and methods of the future of building construction. The main topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Low-carbon construction methods;
- Green construction materials;
- Building carbon emissions research;
- Construction intelligent technology;
- Building information modeling;
- Sustainable construction management；
- Construction safety management and risk control；
- Infrastructure construction.
