| Abstract |
With the rising population and urbanization in developing countries, the building sector must contribute to sustainable construction. To achieve this, it must consider suitable design methodology, circular financial models, and holistic processes like information modeling, as collaboration is the fundamental tool for producing better outcomes. In the present study, different design alternatives, one conventional and the other with the proposed materials and methods were analyzed computationally for their cost and environmental impacts with the help of a residential building case. The results show that sustainable construction practices, such as low cost and less carbon-emitting materials reduced the overall cost by 25% and carbon emissions by 20%. Moreover, vital practices are recommended to meet the circular economy's objectives in building construction. |
