The world is beginning to feel the crunch of depleting conventional energy sources and these desperate times call for exploring newer vistas in terms of alternative sources of energy. The construction sector is expected to require a major overhaul involving strategic advancements in the utilization of green energy given the rapid urban growth. A number of policy initiatives to mainstream energy efficiency are in place in most countries that are expected to accelerate energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings. Streamlining the green building movement requires coordinated monitoring and intelligent control of a building's vital functions. This can be achieved through building management systems (BMS) involving the integration of structures, systems, services, and management. Green building movements should examine the potential of power generation from urban, municipal, and industrial wastes. Equitable distribution of water resources should be carefully planned--monsoon-dominated countries should adopt efficient rain-water harvesting measures to provide clean water to thirsty nations.
These overarching concepts are well woven into themed chapters in Green Structures: Energy Efficient Buildings. Easily comprehensible to undergraduates in civil, structural, and environmental engineering; graduate students and researchers; town planners; and architects worldwide, the content of this book not only comes from courses on energy efficient buildings taught by the authors, but also from new and original research. This definitive resource has an enduring appeal for all those concerned with green structures.

Описание: This book aims to share understanding of best practice in the industries associated with construction and related activities, recognising that effective work organisation and good standards of employee relations will vary from one location to another.
This book seeks to educate and equip aspiring professionals, industry practitioners, and students in the knowledge and practice of contract administration and procurement in the Singapore Construction Industry. It discusses the roles of and relationships between the different parties (e.g. Owner, Architect, Quantity Surveyor), tendering procedures, project delivery methods, payments, variations, final account, and other aspects for the administration of construction contracts in Singapore.
This second edition has been updated to include:
Tender Evaluation in procuring Consultants using the Quality Fee Method,
Tender Evaluation in procuring Contractors using the Price Quality Method, and
Payment Claim and Payment Response as amended by the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment (Amendment) Act 2018, and amended Regulations 2019.
The book is written in an easy and readable form. Technical jargon is minimised. The topics include both common and less common issues in industry that practitioners and students should be aware. Most of the examples are obtained from industry (with modifications) and reflect current practices. Timelines, flowcharts, sample forms, sample letters, and other documents illustrating the processes are provided in this work, for the easy understanding of the readers.
The contract administration process takes into account the Singapore Institute of Architects' Measurement Contract (9th Edition), the Public Sector Standard Conditions of Contract for Construction Works (7th edition), and also the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act.

Описание:
The construction industry as a workplace is commonly seen as problematic for a number of reasons, including its worrying health and safety record, the instability of its workforce, and the poorly regulated nature of the sector. It is surprising therefore, that the sector and its working practices remain so under-theorised.
Now though, there is a growing interest in and awareness of the utility of an ethnographic approach to the construction industry. Ethnographic Research in the Construction Industry draws together in one volume a set of expert contributions which demonstrate how social science perspectives, rooted in ethnographic research on construction sites and with construction workers themselves, can generate fresh insights into the social, cultural and material ways that the industry and conditions of work in it are experienced and played out.
Each chapter develops discussion on the basis of an ethnographic case study to examine how theoretically informed ethnographic research can help us understand industry problems, and can challenge common perceptions of the construction industry. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, geography and organization studies, as well as those from the built environment and related applied fields.
