Abstract
The introductory chapter to this book states that a building’s environmental impact extends from global factors such as ozone depletion to the quality of the environment inside the property. These impacts arise from decisions made at all stages of a building’s life, including materials manufacture, site selection, design, construction, occupation and ultimately demolition. As environmental impact arises from all stages of a building’s life, a contribution is made by all parties involved in property, including materials manufacturers, contractors, architects, surveyors and other professionals, financiers, funding institutions, developers, occupiers, students and so on. For these reasons a building’s environmental impact arises from the complex interrelationships between many different topics, from the type of building materials which have been used to the orientation of the building and the way in which it is occupied.
