Sustainable Construction - Design & Delivery

What does cradle to cradle refer to construction project?

• How a facilities is operated over a specific period of time

• The environmental impact of a project from the beginning to the end of its life cycle

• The process of construction of built facilities

• The demolition process of built facilities at the end of project life

Element of sustainable design includes:

• Building orientation

• Project site

• Water

• HVAC systems

• Building envelope

• Fewer landfills, greater markets for environmentally preferable products, decrease traffic due to the use of local materials
• Improved occupants productivity, satisfaction, health and safety
• Improved comfort conditions for occupants, reduce adverse health impacts, improved occupant comfort and satisfaction, better individual productivity

Which pillar of sustainable refered to the above benefits of sustainable design?

• Economy

• Environment

• Social

How do I get my project built?

The above question is refered to the one of the principle of sustainable construction which is ________________.

• Health & Safety

• Material selection

• Procurement

• Construction lifecycle

Suggest 2 waste prevention strategies in design stage to promote construction sustainability?

Which of the following issues can be minimized through the implementation of green building?

You may choose more than one if applicable.

• Energy use

• CO₂ emission

• Water use

• Solid waste

_________________ is the capability of a design to be constructed. It is one of a project management technique for reviewing construction processes from start to finish during the design and pre-construction phase to identify potential obstacles before a project is actually built to reduce or prevent error, delays, cost overruns, wastages etc.

What are the elements that could be modify in value engineering?

*Not limited to one element

Hint: you need to watch a video linked in the lecture slide.

• Functionality

• Process

• Material

• Design

• Life span

Which of the following is IMPORTANT in the concept of lean construction?

• Waste minimisation

• Alignment of the supply chain management

• Coordination among project parties

• Work flow of construction activities
