Sustainable Building & The Triple Bottom Line

Unlocking Sustainability: The Future of Construction with Sustainable Buildings and the Triple Bottom Line

Sustainable buildings are the future of construction, focusing on optimum resource utilization and minimal environmental impact. They address core principles such as location optimization, natural resource utilization, and environmental respect. However, challenges like higher costs, unfamiliarity with green technology, and resistance to change hinder their adoption. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework offers a solution by measuring social, environmental, and financial impacts. TBL provides actionable insights for contractors, assessing factors like economic measures, environmental impacts, and social metrics. It benefits stakeholders with improved indoor air quality, credibility for sustainable projects, and enhanced corporate reputation.
