Sustainable construction practices minimize environmental impact and waste during construction. Erosion control prevents sediment from leaving the site. Silt fences, sediment basins, and stabilized entrances manage stormwater. Construction site Best Management Practices (BMPs) are required in many jurisdictions. Dust control water sprays reduce air quality impacts. Stabilized roads prevent dust generation from traffic. Recycling programs reduce landfill waste. Cardboard, metal, wood, and concrete are valuable materials often salvageable. Demolition waste sorting allows separate disposal and potential reuse. Hazardous waste including oils, solvents, and paints is properly contained and disposed. Spill prevention and cleanup procedures prevent soil and groundwater contamination. Secondary containment of chemicals prevents large spills. Regular inspections identify potential leaks. Energy efficiency during construction reduces power consumption. LED lighting uses less energy than conventional lighting. Efficient equipment and modern tools reduce fuel consumption. Idle equipment is shut down preventing waste. Water conservation reduces consumption. Low-flow fixtures reduce water use in temporary facilities. Capturing and reusing water for dust control reduces fresh water demand. Sustainable material selection gives preference to recycled, renewable, or local materials. Certified sustainable materials provide environmental verification. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood is sustainably harvested. Environmental management systems document sustainability efforts. Tracking of waste streams identifies improvement opportunities. Communication with all workers about sustainability increases participation.
