Abstract: Abstract As noted in Chap. 2 , there is an increasing recognition on the importance of global climate change. The construction industry which consumes much energy and generates nearly 50 % of the greenhouse gases emissions is largely affected by this trend. Global efforts have been made to control carbon emissions, from design, materials to techniques. These efforts include increased energy efficiency, environment-friendly materials, passive design and other technical innovations.
