Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
In the construction industry, sustainability is a constant concern for builders. Although many contemporary debates focus on achieving sustainability through building design, waste management techniques in the construction sector significantly impact the industry’s long-term viability. With the built environment sector consuming over 40 percent of the world’s extracted resources and building trash accounting for the majority of waste streams in many nations, the linear approach to waste—make, use, discard is simply unsustainable for construction companies.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to reduce construction waste significantly. Machine learning was used in one study to salvage useful components from damaged structures. Researchers analyzed data from 2,280 demolition projects to develop an algorithm that could forecast the total worth of materials recovered from a demolished structure with an average accuracy of 97 percent. The findings of the study could help construction experts do pre-demolition audits, which could help them reduce waste. Some AI applications in construction waste reduction, on the other hand, take place away from the construction site.
Sustainable resource sourcing is a prime example of sustainable construction technology as it ensures the use of ecologically friendly construction materials that are designed and constructed from recycled resources. Agricultural wastes or by-products are commonly used to make construction materials. The materials are remanufactured, recycled, and sourced from environmentally friendly sources.
