| Summary: | Global sustainability issues have led Malaysia, amongst other concerned countries to develop strategies on hazardous materials identification for construction industries. However, very few published literatures are found on the effects of building materials to social health, the environment and economy in building adaptation projects. There is a promising future for better building adaptation materials management but the issues and challenges highlighted require further actions for a positive difference. Encouraging usage of greener building materials and more research could be the way forward. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications. |
