The SURE-Built 2026 Global Conference on Sustainable Built Environment Research examines the relationship between traditional knowledge systems, emerging technologies and sustainable development in the…
Facilitating Inclusivity in Multi-, Inter-, and Transdisciplinary Sustainable Built Environment Research in Emerging Economies
The 1st Global Forum for Sustainable Built Environment Research was a global academic platform dedicated to advancing sustainable development within the built environment, delivered…
Nigeria ugochinyere.ezeochapgs@stu.cu.edu.ng Rapid urbanisation and land scarcity in Lagos, Nigeria, have driven a proliferation of high-rise mixed-use buildings whose resource consumption and waste generation remain a critical sustainability challenge. This study assesses the adoption…
The implementation of green construction principles aims to enhance energy efficiency and reduce long-term operational costs. This study employs a life cycle cost analysis to evaluate the investment feasibility of green construction components compared…
Sustainability problems in South Africa have been exacerbated by urbanisation, ineffective policy enforcement, and the presence of linear construction approaches. With a desire to achieve sustainability in the Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry,…
Achieving sustainability in hotel buildings in developing economies requires moving beyond fragmented interventions towards integrated systems thinking. The energy-water nexus has emerged as a critical response for understanding resource interdependencies within the built environment,…
The increasing heat stress in tropical warm-humid climates underscores the need for low-energy cooling strategies, especially in low-income and informal settlements where mechanical cooling is not economically viable. Courtyard houses have been widely used…
Africa 26043770@dut4life.ac.za The Nigerian construction industry operates in a highly competitive and volatile environment characterised by economic unpredictability, fluctuating workloads, and intensifying professional competition. In this light, quantity surveying firms must implement the most…
This paper explores how sufficiency can reframe urban development pathways in Africa, with a focus on Lagos, Nigeria, within the context of climate change, carbon budgets, justice and planetary limits. Drawing on World Sufficiency…
This paper examines the relationship between building occupants’ energy-use behaviour and their environmental concerns across two contrasting national contexts, Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The relationship between energy-use behaviour and environmental sustainability concern has…
Reliable information is essential for environmental assessment, disaster risk reduction, public health and local planning in Bangladesh, where ground observations remain spatially sparse. This study evaluated ERA5, MODIS, CHIRPS and GFS against contemporaneously matched…
