Project Abstract

The abstract for the research project on "Implementation of Sustainable Building Practices in Residential Construction" is as follows Abstract
The construction industry plays a significant role in global energy consumption and environmental impact, with buildings accounting for a substantial portion of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. In response to these challenges, there is a growing emphasis on implementing sustainable building practices in residential construction. This research project aims to investigate the implementation of sustainable building practices in residential construction to promote environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and overall cost-effectiveness.
