Construction is a major industry in all countries and great deal of natural resources are consumed in buildings. Buildings have a significant and continuously increasing impact on the environment since they are responsible for a large portion of carbon emissions and use a considerable number of resources. This special volume on 'Materials and Construction Technologies for Sustainable Development' contains Eleven chapters which address a wide range of issues pertaining to building materials with reference to energy efficiency. The volume will be of special interest to environmentally conscious engineers, producers of building materials, architects, building professional and it may also be useful to scientists and researchers. Keywords: Materials Properties, Construction Technologies, Energy Efficiency, Insulation Material, Building Certification Targeting architects, environmentally-conscious engineers, building professionals, the producers of building materials, scientists, and researchers, this volume addresses a wide range of issues via energy efficient and environmentally friendly building materials in light of the rapid pace of urbanization which leads to construction activities that result in the consumption of 3 billion tons of raw materials each year--0% of total global use-- Materials science-- Sustainability.
