Sustainable Construction Materials, Processes, and Automation Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable construction materials and processes focus on reducing the environmental impact of building activities while promoting resource efficiency and long-term viability. This approach involves selecting materials that are renewable, recyclable, or have low embodied energy, such as bamboo, recycled steel and concrete, or fly ash concrete. Sustainable construction also emphasizes processes that minimize waste, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions during production, transportation, and installation. In addition, automation in construction, including 3D printing, aims to increase efficiency, productivity, and accuracy in construction projects, while also reducing the risk of human error and improving safety. This Topic focuses on the integration of these principles in the construction industry to create buildings and structures that are not only environmentally responsible but also economically and socially beneficial over their lifespan.
