Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rising importance of sustainable development, efforts have been made in the construction industry to reduce the environmental impacts of construction and building materials. To effectively reduce environmental impact, it is very important to quantitatively evaluate the environmental impact caused by construction and building materials, and related theoretical, practical, and technical research is actively being conducted along with the operation of certification in various countries.

The present Special Issue will address various issues associated with the environmental evaluation of construction and building materials and contribute to the development of a sustainable construction industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Environmental evaluation of sustainable construction and building materials
  • Advanced environmental evaluation technology for construction and building materials
  • Environmental product declaration of building materials
  • Carbon footprint of building materials
  • Environmental impacts of structure using recycled materials
  • Sustainable supply chain for building materials
  • Practical issues in sustainable construction and building materials
  • Emerging issues in sustainable construction and building materials

This Special Issue welcomes theoretical, reporting, strategic, practical, and review papers.

Thank you for your contributions.
