Abstract

Globally, construction utilizes 24% of raw material extractions; the construction industry uses more materials by weight than any other industry. Currently, the construction industry is undergoing a substantial transition period, as the impacts of buildings are detrimental to the environment. In order to mitigate the negative impacts of the construction industry to the global environment, the construction industry has introduced sustainable building strategies. There are three significant trends that are driving these changes in the industry: building information modeling (BIM), sustainable design and construction, and integrated project delivery system. They are not only re-shaping the construction industry, but also reshaping the construction management and career education. This paper presents the project participants' commitment as the level of the project team's dedication to sustainable, high performance features and predetermined goals in a construction project. And the advantages and challenges of sustainable construction implementation through integrated project delivery method.
