Developing a Body of Knowledge for Green Construction Project Management

Edited by Amos Darko and Albert P C Chan

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Growing global imperatives to address sustainability concerns have boosted the importance and prominence of green construction projects worldwide. However, project managers may lack the specialist knowledge and/or technical skills to overcome the unique challenges to successfully deliver suitably sustainable green projects. This book aims to address this shortfall by unearthing, refining and synergising the hitherto scattered gems of experiential and theoretical knowledge, into a unified Body of Knowledge for green construction project management.
