Building Material Management Framework for Greener Adaptation Projects

The adverse impacts of building materials to sustainability have raised global concerns on the availability of information on hazardous and toxic contents. Data and information on the contents, management and effects were still insufficient. This paper illustrates the issues of building materials information in adaptation projects through critical literature review. In lieu with the current efforts to shift towards greener building practices, improvements are required in the development of building material management during construction, occupancy and operation of building adaptation projects.
