Infos

Growing global imperatives to address sustainability concerns have boosted the importance and prominence of green construction projects worldwide. However, project managers may lack the specialist knowledge and/or technical skills to overcome the unique challenges to successfully deliver suitably sustainable green projects. This book aims to address this shortfall by unearthing, refining and synergising the hitherto scattered gems of experiential and theoretical knowledge, into a unified Body of Knowledge for green construction project management.

Comprising both conceptual principles as well as practical case studies, this book for the first time assembles, structures and consolidates a comprehensive body of knowledge for green construction project management that addresses the unique aspects of this critical domain. It will fulfil a now critical need: equipping industry practitioners, researchers and students with the core project management knowledge and skills needed to successfully deliver green construction projects. It is a must-read for anyone who seeks to develop core green construction project management knowledge and skills, and those intending to move into green construction project management.
