Resource flow analysis for sustainable construction: metrics for an integrated supply chain approach
Resource flow analysis for sustainable construction: metrics for an integrated supply chain approach
- 2008
- Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers 161(WR2) May 2008, 51-66(16) .
Aims to set out a metrics framework for an integrated approach of sustainable construction and built environment. Provides new analytical and modelling perspectives. Uses methods such as: Resource analysis framework; integrated impact assessment; the footprints for supply and demand; and the Resource and Energy Analysis Program modelling and data system. Investigates the construction supply chain and it impacts. Develops how it affects the whole built environment projections and policies. Details possibilities of more comprehensive assessment methods. Concludes that to reach footprints targets and a better climate, more emphasis must be put on sustainable construction on the whole supply chain.
