Abstract | To promote sustainable construction, it is important to consider green performance of
construction materials throughout the life cycle. Selecting inappropriate materials could not only
affect the functional performance but also preclude the achievement of green building performance as
a whole. Green performance of construction materials has therefore been one of the primary
considerations of green building assessment systems. Using partition wall blocks as an example, this
paper examines green performance of building materials primarily from the cradle to gate boundaries.
Nine key parameters are proposed for the green performance of partition wall blocks. Apart from
environmental features, technical performance of partition wall blocks is also taken into
consideration since it is the determinant of the lifecycle performance. This paper offers a roadmap to
decision makers to make environmentally responsible choices for their materials of internal walls and
partitions, and hence provides a potential sustainable solution for green buildings. |
