The world is facing climate change caused by the degraded environmental conditions.

This is a result from the uncontrolled human lifestyles and unsustainable activities affected the
environment negatively. Efforts are currently being pursued to address the environmental issues
by ways of sustainable construction management and sustainable development. Sustainable
construction management is actions of creating and operating a healthy built environment based
on resource efficiency and ecological design. These practices will minimize the negative impacts
to the environment and subsequently contribute to the overall efforts of the sustainable
development.
Sustainable housing is designing and building homes that are socially, environmentally
and economically sustainable. A sustainable house is designed with people in mind; it is safe,
secure and universally designed, which means it is easily adaptable to suit a diverse range of
needs, and provides comfort for people with varying abilities and at different stages of their lives.
A sustainable house is efficient in its use of water and energy resources and waste minimisation.
It is also cost-efficient over time, comfortable, cheap to maintain and complements our unique
environment.
