Abstract:

Due to the increasing population, the rapid consumption of natural resources has revealed the necessity of protecting nature from people. Increasing building stock due to population growth has triggered climate change. The energy and natural resources consumed during production in the construction sector have created important environmental problems such as global warming and climate change in the sector. Greenhouse gas emissions caused by construction materials can be considered as one of the main causes of climate change problems and emphasizes the necessity of considering environmental effects. Greenhouse gas is one of the most important factors affecting the ecological environment and climate change, as it is one of the gases with the highest carbon dioxide emission rate. Concrete and steel used in the construction industry are among the materials that have a negative impact on climate change. This study revealed the effects of waste materials used in the construction industry on the problem of climate change and the importance of promoting the efficient use of energy resources for the management of this problem. In addition, this study emphasized the importance of focusing on sustainable structures in order to leave a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations, and that priority should be given to developing environmentally friendly materials.
