Review of Current Legislation, Codes, and Certifications Increasing the Sustainability Standards for Construction Operations
The desire to create construction operations that have a minimal negative energy and environmental impacts are of great importance for the domestic and global construction community. Despite the fact that are several codes, specifications, and certifications that have been established to address energy and environmental sustainability with regards to site location, materials selection and architecture/engineering design issues, there has been minimal investigation regarding the sustainability of the construction operations which address their impacts on energy consumptions and environmental protections. This paper describes the author's efforts to understand the current legislation, codes, and certifications increasing the sustainability standards for construction operations. First, the researchers conducted a thorough literature review on the current codes, regulations, and certifications with focus on ensuring the design of a proposed facility meets sustainability measures as well as the codes and regulations in place that influence that project development approval process. Second, this paper summarizes the current best management practices used in the construction industry today with regards to energy and environmental sustainability.
