As the construction industry changes the need for the effective
incorporation of environmental considerations has become widely
accepted. It is now being enforced effectively in many countries.
Large numbers of construction managers can find value in adopting
quantitative approach to environmental management, and this book
outlines an integrative methodology for applying knowledge-based
dynamic environmental impact assessment in construction.
Four quantitative methods are presented for the application of the
techniques at different construction stages, fitting within a
comprehensive framework of dynamic Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA). These are a method to quantitatively evaluate and reduce
pollution and hazards levels, a method to evaluate the
environmental-consciousness of proposed construction plans and
select the best one, a method to reduce on-site construction wastes
through an incentive reward programme, and a method to promote
C&D waste exchange in the local construction industry. Finally,
the implementation of the integrative analytical approach is
illustrated using an experimental case study.
Contractors should be able to conduct effective, efficient and
economical environmental management and achieve their targets in
line with governmental laws and regulations, the ISO 14001
environmental management system (EMS), or environmental management
standards within their enterprises. Most environmental management
tools used at present are qualitative, but potential requirements
are quantitative, so this book fills the need.
