A Comprehensive Review of The Construction Materials Databases Contributed to The Sustainable Building

Abstract

As a result of promoting the use of green construction, the number of sustainable construction materials and rating systems is increasing. NGOs and the local governments managed the material information through developing sustainable construction material (SCM) databases (DBs). To fulfill the gap of previous studies, this study carried out the investigation of databases related to sustainable materials in 2021. The results presented the current conditions, purpose, and data characteristics of 3 BD groups (simulation DBs, LCA DBs, green labels DBs) and were the basis for further research on SCMDBs.
