• In the current material world human beings consume more natural resources and use more energy than ever before. The consumption of goods connected to planning, design and management of the built environment is seldom highlighted, even though the building and property sector is highly responsible for the use of large amounts of natural resources, production of waste and carbon dioxide emissions. This chapter describes important research that acknowledges environmental impacts of building materials.
