Introduction
The built environment, encompassing all buildings and infrastructure, has a profound impact on our planet. It is a major consumer of resources, a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and a driver of waste generation. As the global population grows and urbanizes, the need for sustainable practices in the construction and operation of buildings becomes increasingly critical. Sustainability in the built environment is not just about reducing environmental impact; it's about creating spaces that are healthy, efficient, and resilient. It's about balancing ecological responsibility with economic viability and social equity. Sustainable buildings and infrastructure can improve the quality of life for occupants, enhance community well-being, and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
