Environmental issues in construction - sustainability indicators for the civil engineering industry

This is the final element in CIRIA’s four-part research project on environmental issues in construction and it looks at proposals for a series of indicators measuring the civil engineering sector’s moves towards sustainability. The project has drawn on state-of-the-art thinking and analytical models used by governments and international organisations. This guide discusses the need for developing sustainability indicators for the civil engineering sector, details the methodology used to develop these indicators, and reports the findings of the workshops.
