Description
The sustainable built environment concept has recently gained enormous attention from the academic and industrial organizations. The growth in climate-related disasters and pandemics, continuing difficulties in the energy sector, and consumer awareness regarding resources’ conservation and sustainability are considered the driving factors influencing participants toward supporting the sustainable engineering applications. Furthermore, numerous professional standards and requirements for implementing and rating sustainable practices have been generated, such as life cycle assessment, cost analysis, project development (i.e., from planning through construction up to demolition), recycling, material preservation, and utilizing reusable materials. Recently, a concept known as resilience, which can be defined as the ability to recover, was invented as a strategy to accomplish a sustainability objective and sustainable development in the built environment. This study aims to provide a review for the practices for managing the life cycle of the sustainable and resilient construction projects; in addition to addressing issues and possibilities in the long-term development of resilient built environment systems.
