Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an effective decision-making platform that helps to save project cost and enhance quality of construction. By generating and linking a wide variety of objects data, BIM can be effectively utilized, and it should be ensured that object properties maintain consistency throughout the project period of design, estimates, construction, maintenance and repair. This study examined how to utilize BIM data in a construction project, by linking cost and schedule data in web environment, to better utilize the information and maintain consistency of the BIM information. To do so, the model integrated WBS data and CBS data, linked them with BIM model to realize 5D simulation in web environment. As a result, cost and schedule data could be simultaneously acquired, and object properties-cost, schedule, location-as well. These are expected to contribute to developing a BIM-based automatic data-processing system in web environment.

The Korean Ministry of Agricultural & Forestry(MAF) has designated some model areas and has supported financially to encourage sustainable farming under the environment-friendly agriculture rearing project(EARP) since 1995. This study was conducted to diagnose the project and to find ways to improve the effectiveness of EARP. The 18 areas (823 ha) such as Gyeonggi-Do, Gangwon-Do, Chungcheongbuk-Do, Chungcheongnam-Do, and Jeju-Do of 32 areas under EARP in 2004 were examined. Most of the practices implemented in EARP areas were not practical for sustainable agriculture except some equipments and facilities. It was thought that practical technologies for sustainable agriculture were more essential than equipments and facilities to improve the effectiveness of EARP. And area-specific technologies are needed to decrease environmental pollution. For example, liquefied slurry application and duck-rice farming in paddy fields near a watershed could increase the possibility of water pollution by nutrient outflow. Soil characteristics were important factors that could affect the effect of practices on environment conservation. Woodchip application and subsoil crash were not effective in coarse-textured soils. It was recommended that every practices under EARP should be re-examined in the light of the effects on environment before implementation and be evaluated by experts after completion.

Considering the impact of buildings beyond their outline to our environment is the first step towards sustainable architecture. As we are still in the early days of sustainable design and its technology, we should make predictions about the design options. architecture activities in project is needed to predict more locally, nationally, globally not only present but future energy demand. The role of the architects who pioneered sustainable design is significantly important, that is to say architects should become a team leader rather than the sole form-giver and come up with the integrated idea related to each field such as the structural, mechanical and electrical engineers includes an energy specialist, in some cases, an independent Design Facilitator. In other words architects have to suggest goals and alternatives for human-being and biodiversity to sustainable life as well as vision of architecture.

Use of recycled aggregates in portland cement concrete (PCC) construction can offer benefits associated with both economy and sustainability. Testing performed to date indicates that recycled brick masonry aggregate (RBMA) can be used as a 100% replacement for conventional coarse aggregate in concrete that exhibits acceptable mechanical properties for use in structural and pavement elements, including satisfactory performance in some durability tests. Recycled brick masonry aggregate concrete (RBMAC) is currently not used in any type of construction in the United States. However, use of RBMAC could become a viable construction strategy as sustainable building practices become the norm. This paper explores the feasibility of use of RBMAC in several types of sustainable construction initiatives, based upon the findings of previous work with RBMAC that incorporates RBMA produced from construction and demolition waste from a case study site. A summary of material properties of RBMAC that will be useful to construction professionals are presented, along with a discussion of advantages and impediments to use. Several quality assurance and quality control techniques that could be incorporated into specifications are identified.

In addressing the goal for sustainability in the construction industry, the very materials used for construction and the methods utilized to implement said materials must be analyzed. Specifically, some traditional residential construction materials consist of wood, steel, and concrete. Because these materials vary in their levels of sustainability, there is a need to develop and explore new or other materials that can be used for residential construction. The primary purpose of this paper is to provide a review of interlocking earthen masonry units (IEMU) as an alternative option for residential building construction. This is in an effort to explore the variables impacting their existing and potential applications as sustainable materials and a method for residential building construction. IEMU's are then examined under the triple bottom line (TBL) sustainability framework which includes analyzing the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of IEMU's. The findings of this review may lead to further progression in the development of a framework for evaluating U.S. stakeholder adoption of IEMU's and potential implementation in U.S. residential construction.

Sustainability continues to gain traction in all industry sectors as people become aware of the advantages of green products. The voluntary use of green products in buildings in the United States continues to grow due to long-term cost saving and the ecological benefit to nature. The voluntary installation of green products is associated with end-users' expectations and perceptions including cost saving, sustainable behavior, and social responsibility. Although involuntary use of green products has similar expectations and perceptions, the installation decision is not based on the goodwill from end-users. This paper surveys college students to capture current experience levels, expectations, and perceptions in regard to green products and/or sustainability and to understand their attitudes about involuntary use of a green product. The installation of low water pressure showerheads in a dormitory provides data to support perception, expectation, and future direction of adoption of green products in public buildings. This information may be used to facilitate sustainable behaviors among involuntary groups regarding to the adoption of green products. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the college students' perception of a green product, particularly when the students are involuntarily exposed to the green products. As a secondary objective, the paper also attempts to address the college students' general understanding on sustainability and green products. The findings of this study could support the growing importance of sustainable behavior among higher education beyond social responsibility and provide a benchmark against which to improve future change while fostering sustainable behaviors over time among the public.
