1.5 SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
A
major challenge to green building as innovation in Nigeria construction
industry is the apparent lack of knowledge on green building concept by
the built environment professionals. This knowledge gap impedes the
ability of construction professional to fully apply knowledge in the
design and construction of green buildings.
This project work seeks to increase the awareness that green building and its components are more valuable,
Cheaper
and impact less on the environment than the conventional ones. However,
it was not possible for the project to cover all aspects of green
building as innovation rather it is just a few to exciting possibilities
that are being explored at modern age.
The work is not made to be
exhaustive, rather it serves as an introduction to some ideas that could
revolutionalize the way building are designed and constructed with
materials that are eco-friendly, cheaper, durable, attractive to tenants
and intelligent.
1.6 JUSTIFICATION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Statistics
has shown that pace of change and innovation is now so great that in
construction industry, we are now experiencing a technological growth
similar to that of the entire industrial revolution every 12 months.
This shows the level reached so far by construction industry and it’s
professional to the effect of green building.
Building construction
and design are changing in response to many divers environmental
concerns, globalization, increase in less maintenance cost, advance
information technology and so on. This project work discusses few of the
possibilities that are being explored at the Nigerian building
industry.
1.7 DEFINITION OF KEY TERMS
