Construction sites can be a major source of pollution if not managed and controlled properly, and can have an adverse impact on health and the local environment. Enforcement is disruptive and expensive. It is therefore important that construction personnel follow good environmental practice to control these emissions, comply with environmental legislation and prevent problems. This Guide is the first in a series intended to assist with the control of air pollution and noise emissions from construction sites. It sets out guidance on controlling pollution emissions through effective pre-project planning and management issues that are an essential part of any construction project. It includes a two-page checklist to help ensure that all aspects relating to the control of pollution emissions have been considered. Other Guides in the series give methods for controlling air and noise pollution from various construction and demolition activities.

This Guide is the second in a series intended to assist with the control of air pollution and noise emissions from construction sites. It sets out guidance on controlling pollution emissions associated with site preparation, demolition, earthworks and landscaping. Although techniques have not been validated under controlled conditions and therefore must be used with care, recommendations are drawn from cases where they have been found to be effective.

This Guide is the third in a series intended to assist with the control of air pollution and noise emissions from construction sites. It sets out guidance on controlling pollution emissions associated with haulage routes, vehicles and construction plant. Although techniques have not been validated under controlled conditions and therefore must be used with care, recommendations are drawn from cases where they have been found to be effective.
This Guide is the fifth in a series intended to assist with the control of air pollution and noise emissions from construction sites. It sets out guidance on controlling pollution emissions associated with construction fabrication processes and internal and external finishes.

Developing Property Sustainably introduces readers to the key issues surrounding sustainable property development in the global marketplace. Pulling together received wisdom and original research, the authors provide a clear and practical overview of the sustainable property development process as well as a critical appraisal of the problems faced by global built environment stakeholders. Throughout, the authors demonstrate how the property development industry could and should respond better to debate on sustainable practices in the built environment by adopting more rigorous measurement techniques and sustainable approaches. Starting by exploring key definitions and stakeholders, the book goes on to explore finance, planning, construction, procurement, occupation, retrofit and lifecycle sustainability in order to provide the reader with a detailed understanding of all the issues involved in the delivery of sustainable property development from inception to occupation and beyond. Throughout the book, international case studies are used to demonstrate how sustainable property development is applied in practice around the world. With a logical chapter structure and accessible writing style, Developing Property Sustainably would be perfect for use on undergraduate and postgraduate modules and courses in real estate development, property and urban development and other built environment programmes.
"Noise Pollution and Control Strategy discusses the basics of acoustic propagation, reviews the problem of noise generation over all national and international situations and gives various techniques available for noise measurements and assessment, health effects of noise, the standards adopted by various countries of the world, environmental impact assessment techniques, control measures and status of noise measurement and abatement practices. In the last chapter, an effort has been made to lay an appropriate strategy to control noise. The book concludes with the future vision in the area of noise pollution and an up-to-date list of references and bibliography. The acoustical terminology in a separate appendix would be of great help as a ready reference."--BOOK JACKET.
Noise pollution is one of the factors that affect the quality of life of the general population, especially in urban areas, where the noise levels are often high due to the presence of numerous sources, such as transport infrastructures, activities production and commercial areas, entertainment venues and other sound sources which, although temporary, such as construction sites and outdoor music events, affect general noise levels. Even if noise is one of the oldest pollutants referred to in history, for years, the problem of noise pollution has been often considered less important than others related to the environment, such as air pollution, water pollution, and waste management.The regulations in force to contain the noise have become increasingly stringent as each individual is constantly exposed to noise and often the noise is treated just as a scourge of modern society. Making noise is becoming easier and cheaper each day, but just the opposite for controlling it. Deeper studies are needed to understand the core of current noise problems; new materials and techniques are needed to control them. This book is a combination of theory and practice based on the latest research. The studies in this book range from evaluation methods for the perception of noise and outline forecast criteria that can be integrated with applications for acoustic mapping as well as the use of innovative techniques and materials for its abatement. The main purpose of this book, organized in 8 chapters, is to provide an overview of the recent studies in this field and the applications in different research studies. The authors, contributing to the success of this book, provide a series of practical applications of their recent studies aimed at the reduction of noise in different environments. The editors would like to thank all the authors who, through their studies and research, have accepted our invitation to share recent discoveries in this field with the scientific community.
