It also includes new coverage of the opportunities offered by technology, the establishment of higher standards to achieve greater energy efficiency and wellbeing, the adoption of the principles of a circular economy, the retrofit of existing buildings and the recycling of materials. New sections also highlight the methodology of the subject to identify the boundaries of construction economics and clarify what to expect and what can be achieved. As with previous editions, it retains a tried and tested format including: a clear and user-friendly style use of colour for emphasis regular summaries of key points a glossary of key terms extensive use of tables, figures and data readings from Construction Management and Economics tutorial questions to review each section research guidance reviews of useful websites.
