IntroductionNowadays, research on green building design and the use of building materials to minimize the environment is already in development and construction has been accused of being at the origin of environmental problems in the world's resources in aspects of building construction and operation. hazardous and environmental contamination (Ding 2008). However, depending on the design or project itself, achieving the goal of sustainable development and construction or reducing impacts through appropriate on-site management is not satisfactory enough to handle the problem at hand (Ding 2008) . However, according to (Ding 2008), relying on project design to achieve the sustainable development goal, or to minimize impacts through appropriate on-site management, is not sufficient to solve the current problem . To improve and advance economic, social, cultural and political conditions, sustainable development is the right to development implies the right. Additionally, sustainable construction can be seen as an investment in the future. Through the conservation of energy, water and natural resources through reuse, recycling, innovative design and minimization of waste and pollution, we can meet our needs without compromising the needs of future generations (Suliman and Omran 2009). To bring about change in the future, provide and support desirable natural and social environments and maximize the efficient use of resources, sustainable construction is the set of processes by which a profitable and competitive industry provides built assets such as buildings, structures, supporting infrastructure and their immediate surroundings that improve quality. of life and provide customer satisfaction (Suliman and Omran 2009)The...... middle of paper ......Works citedBAINES, James (2013).
