The Built Environment Project and Asset Management journal has issued a call for papers.
Built Environment Project and Asset Management is a recognised CIB journal, and the theme of this edition is:
Creating Capacity and Capability of Net Zero Carbon Practices in the Construction Sector
Special issue aim
This special issue aims at compiling knowledge on net zero carbon design and construction practices required to create capacity and capability towards industry net zero carbon targets. It is expected to achieve the above aim through the following objectives:
- Identifying, integrating and sharing knowledge on net-zero carbon design and construction practices within the construction industry.
- Investigating challenges and opportunities related to accomplishing net-zero carbon targets in the construction industry.
- Exploring and analysing cutting-edge research and best practices, while discerning potential short-term, mid-term and long-term impacts and implications for the built environment, from the adoption and implementation of zero-carbon practices in the construction industry.
Anticipated themes
The following is an indicative, hence a non-exhaustive, list of anticipated themes that could be explored in different papers in this Special Issue:
- Innovative building materials and their applications
- Net-zero energy buildings and renewable energy integration in design and construction
- Application of circular economy concept in design and construction
- Embodied carbon reduction in design and construction
- Waste minimisation and management in construction
- Digital technologies for carbon reduction in design and construction
- Collaboration and stakeholder engagement for carbon reduction in construction
- Resilient and adaptive designs for carbon reduction in construction
- Capacity building for net-zero carbon design and construction
- Financial and business aspects of net-zero carbon design and construction
BEPAM also welcome submissions on any related topics in the context of the above sub-themes.
Full details of the call for papers are available to read here.
Further information is available here, and the deadline for submissions is 31st March 2023
