The Management Objectives of Green Construction and Difficulties on its Dissemination
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: Green construction originated in the 1980s, and attracted the attention of the construction industry with its social and environmental benefits. The implementation of green construction has changed the traditional project management objectives. Compared to the traditional objectives which are simply concerned with economic benefits, those of green construction are concerned about social and environmental benefits and pursue long-term benefits and contribution to society and environment. As a new trend of development, green construction has difficulties with its dissemination. The survey taken by this article indicates that the main difficulties in dissemination of green construction in China are: high cost, lack of the government’s support or incentive policies, unfamiliarity with green technologies, lack of codes and regulations, and lack of awareness. Finally several suggestions are given to overcome the difficulties.
