2. Reuse of Materials and Byproducts in Construction: Waste Minimization and Recycling
2013 by Alan Richardson
The construction industry holds the title of being the largest waste-producing sector in the UK. Establishing a sustainable supply chain for recycled materials can yield numerous benefits, including a reduction in the volume of materials transported to already overcrowded landfills, potential cost savings for contractors and clients due to reduced landfill taxes and cheaper material alternatives, a diminished environmental footprint from reduced quarrying, and the preservation of dwindling natural resources. "Reuse of Materials and Byproducts in Construction: Waste Minimization and Recycling" delves into the utilization of waste and byproducts in the construction sector. It provides an overview of new environmentally conscious design guidelines that promote best practices and examines current legislation guiding on-site procedures, such as site waste management plans. The book delves into the properties of individual construction materials and explores the process of transforming byproducts and waste materials into new construction materials, considering material performance, the energy required for recycling, and the feasibility of recycling. It comprehensively covers a wide range of construction materials, making it a valuable resource for postgraduate students, educators, and researchers in the fields of construction and civil engineering, as well as professionals in design practices.

3. Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery
2012 by Charles J. Kibert
Recognized as the authoritative reference in high-performance green building delivery methods, sustainable construction has transcended buzzword status to become the prevailing standard. Updated to align with the latest developments in the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system and other relevant tools, "Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery, Third Edition" serves as a guiding resource for professionals in construction and design navigating the process of creating environmentally responsible commercial and institutional buildings in today's market. Author Charles Kibert introduces readers to the realm of green building, encompassing theory, historical context, and the present state of the industry, along with optimal practices in building procurement and delivery systems. This comprehensive text addresses all facets of sustainable construction, from green building assessments to hydrological systems, material and product selection, and more. Kibert's lucid and accessible writing style enables readers to critically assess and engage with green building issues, positioning them at the forefront of this dynamic field. The Third Edition encompasses the latest updates, including the lead-up to LEED version 4, carbon-neutral design and carbon accounting, international building assessment systems like Green Globes, the Living Building Challenge, the adoption of environmental product declarations (EPDs) as standard practice for green building products, and the trends surrounding net-zero energy building design and policies. With its broad coverage suitable for both academic and professional needs, "Sustainable Construction, Third Edition" is an indispensable resource for builders, owners, construction managers eager to seize opportunities in this rapidly evolving field, designers pursuing LEED certification, and anyone with an interest in sustainability.

4. Recycling Construction & Demolition Waste: A LEED-Based Toolkit (GreenSource)
2010 by Greg Winkler
"Recycling Construction & Demolition Waste: A LEED-Based Toolkit (GreenSource)" is a comprehensive reference guide that provides valuable insights into recycling practices for new construction and demolition waste, with the potential to recycle up to 95% of materials while incorporating existing resources and adhering to the waste management guidelines established by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED program. This practical resource equips you with the strategies and tools necessary to develop and implement an effective waste management plan on construction sites. Moreover, it covers various programs aimed at promoting sustainable construction, such as the International Code Council's ICC-ES initiative, the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) Green Building Program, the Green Building Initiative Green Globes Program, BREEAM, and more. You'll discover how to manage construction and demolition waste efficiently, create a well-organized recycling center on-site, evaluate demolition waste through on-site audits, and repurpose various materials, including asphalt, brick, concrete, insulation, structural steel, wood, and glass. The book guides you in crafting a comprehensive waste management plan while meeting LEED standards to earn valuable waste management credits. Additionally, it provides insights into other green certification and code programs and offers guidance on documenting waste management compliance, ensuring your jobsite recycling program aligns with environmentally responsible practices.

6. Waste Materials in Construction: Science and Engineering of Recycling for Environmental Protection
2000 by G.R. Woolley, J.J.J.M. Goumans, P.J. Wainwright
This book compiles the proceedings of the International Conference on The Science and Engineering of Recycling for Environmental Protection (WASCON 2000), highlighting several interconnected themes. These themes revolve around the pivotal issue of environmental sustainability, underlining the significance of ensuring the safety and stability of secondary, recovered, or recycled materials for potential users. The conference emphasizes the environmental challenge as a central theme, with a strong focus on quality assurance and quality control. Science and engineering are pivotal in the utilization of 'recovered' materials, with topics in this domain forming the core of the conference's discussions. Additionally, the book delves into the essential aspect of land contamination control and the necessity of long-term impact modeling. Lastly, the role of legislation is explored as a means of ensuring responsible practices. With contributions from 30 countries, this book reflects the global awareness of the imperative to preserve natural resources and maximize the utilization of familiar ones, making a valuable contribution to addressing environmental challenges associated with the reuse of waste materials in construction.
