OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR

Protecting and enhancing the environment in Building Industry present many challenges and require in-depth knowledge of building components and their vulnerability to contamination and also the environmental impact assessment procedures laid down by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.

Areas of key concern for the protection and enhancement of environment include energy with associated greenhouse gas emissions, waste generation, use and recycling of construction materials, water management and waste water disposal as well as integration of buildings with related infrastructure and social systems. Overall, buildings consume about one-third of primary energy, two third of electricity generated, one third of raw material inputs and a substantial percentage of freshwater resources. At the same time, buildings account for one-third of greenhouse gas emissions and material waste output. The building sector contributes up to 40% emissions, mostly from energy use during the lifetime of buildings. Identifying areas to reduce these emissions has assumed significant priority in the global effort to reduce climate change. The proposed seminar will provide a unique opportunity to all stakeholders of the building construction and maintenance industry in understanding the protection and enhancement measures required for environmentally sustainable built environment.

Many of the problems can be avoided or at least mitigated by foresight in planning and development of built environment. It is therefore proposed to hold deliberations on “Environment Protection in Building Industry” under the following sub themes including their case studies.

• Environment, Health & Safety Issues

Environmental Impact Assessment

Environmental Standardisation & Legislation

Land Resource Management

Water & Waste Management including Recycling

• Energy Conservation

Protection Against Natural Hazards
