How can sustainability in the construction industry be defined?

• The practice of designing, constructing, and operating buildings and infrastructure in a way that maximizes environmental impact.

• The practice of designing, constructing, and operating buildings and infrastructure in a way that minimizes environmental impact and promotes social and economic well-being.

• The practice of designing, constructing, and operating buildings and infrastructure without considering environmental impact.

• The practice of designing, constructing, and operating buildings and infrastructure to promote only economic well-being.

Which of the following is NOT a method to achieve sustainability in the construction industry according to the text?

• Using non-renewable materials that are imported.

• Using sustainable materials, such as recycled materials and materials that are locally sourced.

• Designing buildings that are energy efficient and water efficient.

• Creating workplaces that are healthy and safe for workers.

What is one of the common methods to ensure buildings contribute to sustainability?

• Designing buildings without considering energy consumption.

• Ignoring the impact of construction on local communities.

• Designing buildings that are energy efficient and water efficient.

• Using construction techniques that maximize waste and pollution.

What is a sustainable practice in construction related to material sourcing?

• Using only newly manufactured materials.

• Using materials that require extensive transportation.

• Using sustainable materials that are locally sourced.

• Avoiding the use of recycled materials.

What does embodied energy refer to in the context of a building's life cycle?

• The energy used for heating and cooling the building once it is constructed.

• The energy consumed throughout a building's life cycle, including materials extraction, manufacturing, and transportation.

• The energy saved through the use of renewable energy sources during the building's operation.

• The energy required for the demolition and recycling of building materials at the end of its life.

How can the carbon footprint of a building be minimized ?

• By using high embodied energy materials.

• By increasing the use of fossil fuels in construction.

• By choosing low embodied energy materials and sustainable construction practices.

• By ignoring the embodied energy in the construction process.

What is the contribution of integrating energy efficiency and considering embodied energy in construction projects?

• It leads to an increase in the building's operational costs.

• It contributes to the goal of zero carbon emissions, promotes sustainability, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and creates environmentally friendly built environments.

• It has no significant impact on the environment or carbon emissions.

• It only focuses on the aesthetics of the building without environmental benefits.
