Guidebook for Selecting Sustainable Materials
|
| Description: | Research is needed
to develop a comprehensive resource for architects, interior designers,
engineers, builders and airport operators to help them in selection of
sustainable materials for new construction or renovation of existing
facilities, with an emphasis on how to calculate embedded greenhouse gas
emissions. The research will also examine and evaluate tracking technologies
and life-cycle cost accounting for materials.
|
| Objective: | The objective of
this research is to create a comprehensive resource for selecting new
construction/renovation materials for airport facilities, including
utilization of tracking technology for materials and evaluation of embedded
energy and GHGs of various materials.
