Opis

This research was completed to examine the growing environmental concerns in the construction industry and in society as technological systems, such as manufactured products, become more prevalent in the built environment. As material resources continue to decline, it is our responsibility as decision makers to develop those processes that will enhance our sustainability in the world. Environmental value engineering (EVE) is a viable methodology that enhances the vision of environmental impact and accountability. Environmental value engineering (EVE) analysis can compare built environment alternatives, quantify material and component production and identify alternatives which would garner the greatest benefit in application while reducing the ecological and environmental impact on society.
