Abstract

As Canada continues to grow, and needs of the environment are becoming increasingly apparent, it is time for construction management to embrace sustainable practices more than it has ever done before. Building is something that is essential to sustain and maintain growth. The construction and maintenance of buildings is something that is vital to our growing society and economy, but it comes at a cost to the environment. These environmental costs come from many places, including extensive energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, waste, water contamination and other sources of negative environmental impacts. There is a need for sustainable construction management because currently the potential for minimizing the environmental impact is tremendous, for example, the construction and demolition of buildings accounts for nearly half of all energy end use across the world, so Canadians must take an active role in minimizing their ecological footprint when it comes to the construction. It is all about balancing the needs of society, against the needs of the environment, in a way that will last for generations to come.
