ABSTRACT:
There’s no doubt that construction of buildings and cities are activities with important social, economic, and environmental effects. This important activity consumes huge amounts of energy and resources and generates significant amounts of emissions and waste throughout its life cycle. In fact, the sector of building construction is responsible for significant environmental impacts. According to some studies, around 20% of the total impacts are related to manufacturing, construction, demolition processes and final disposal of building materials, elements and systems. Furthermore, authorities and public instances such the European Commission encourage the research of more sustainable building materials.
