INTRODUCTION
Sustainability is one of the most common but most important term in today's world, this simply
means focusing on environment and its betterment.
Sustainability in construction industry means using renewable and recyclable resource and material,
there are many projects in the world that promote sustainability while using recyclable material.

Discussing how sustainability in construction
industry impact built environment:
 Sustainability is very important for every industry, this is adopted by almost every sector.
Construction industry is one of those industries that directly impact environment, every projects harm
nature as trees and water resource are been destroyed by these companies.
 Adopting sustainability in this industry is quite challenging because projects not only harm
environment but this also consume natural resource such as fresh water.
 Pollution control: construction project in today's world focus on sustainability that allow them to
reduce pollution, water waste and other type of harm to environment.

CONT...
 Reduce waste: construction industry reduce waste that occur in building of the project, there are many cases
where mega projects are build with the help of natural waste.
 It is very clear that even natural waste are valuable for the mega projects, in today's sustainable world,
construction project have reduced 50% of waste with the help of reusing method.
 For example, Iron waste was major issue in construction which cost higher to builder and impact nature as
well but today iron waste is modified into strong metal using chemical that can be reuse even in the
foundation of the building.

Discussing examples or case studies relating to the topic:
 Sustainability in construction is adopted by almost every country as this allow them to reduce impact on
environment and to reduce cost of the construction.
 There are many construction projects around that world that will change construction industry for ever, these
are:
 The sustainable city, Dubai: Dubai is well-known for its architecture and those design which was not possible
in engineering history.
 This city has those mega projects that are completely sustainable and are build in the betterment of the
environment, Dubai is focusing on sustainable city project that will allow them to cut off every possible things
that hurt nature, from solar panel to waste management, every area of human living will help in the betterment
of the nature.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
 Lattice Domed parliament building, Abu Dhabi: this one of
the most futuristic building of Abu Dhabi that promote
sustainability and focus on betterment of the environment.
 This building is deigned to reduce energy waste and other
impact on environment, the dome of this building will create
microclimate projection that will increase energy efficiency
and reduce harmful air chemical that impact human.

Highlighting future implications to sustainability in
construction industry:
 Construction industry focus on sustainability, this industry have certain projects that are completely
sustainable.
 From using reusable raw material to strengthening foundation with the help of recyclable product, this
industry is moving towards sustainability and will be completely sustainable, there are certain future
implications that will be beneficial for construction industry, these are:
 The Crystal electricity: Crystal electricity is futuristic construction project that focus on generating
electricity with the help of natural and eco friendly crystal that can be found deep inside earth;s core
or can be found on sea sore.
 This crystal is converted into electricity with the help machine that provide power to building and
allow almost every electrical devise to run smoothly.

CONT…
 Better living standard: when looking at future of sustainable construction project, human life will be more
better.
 It is very clear that sustainability is best for human and other living being of the earth, sustainability in
construction will not only allow human to reduce impact on environment but this will help them to better
their way of living and keep themselves safe from any harm that occur due to environment.

Conclusion
 This report has discussed sustainability and its importance in construction industry.
 Later this report has discussed how sustainability in construction industry impact environment
and provided certain example of impact including impact on pollution control, impact on
reduction of waste and impact on environment using solar panel.
 Later this report has discussed example of sustainable projects including sustainable buildings
of Dubai, UK and Abu Dhabi and their construction project that focus on sustainability. At last
this report has discussed future implications of sustainability in construction industry.
