1
00:00:00.265 --> 00:00:01.525
We know that, for example,

2
00:00:01.555 --> 00:00:04.965
currently the temple contraction whole topic is

3
00:00:05.105 --> 00:00:06.605
for in the whole world.

4
00:00:06.745 --> 00:00:08.285
We try to find how

5
00:00:08.285 --> 00:00:11.085
to promote the timber development in the whole,

6
00:00:11.465 --> 00:00:13.205
for example, contraction in.

7
00:00:14.115 --> 00:00:17.685
Currently for me, for example, I'm mainly doing three parts

8
00:00:17.985 --> 00:00:19.925
for my research, from my research

9
00:00:20.025 --> 00:00:21.845
to promote certain contractions.

10
00:00:22.745 --> 00:00:26.965
The first thing, for example, I'm doing, a book

11
00:00:27.725 --> 00:00:30.965
I, I have write a book named The Certain Development

12
00:00:31.105 --> 00:00:32.805
and Contraction in Asia.

13
00:00:33.385 --> 00:00:37.085
Uh, this book will be published as end of this year.

14
00:00:37.715 --> 00:00:41.405
This book will provide a holistic, view, for example,

15
00:00:41.665 --> 00:00:45.285
how to promote certain principles,

16
00:00:45.385 --> 00:00:48.445
are being integrated into contracting pro

17
00:00:49.045 --> 00:00:52.005
projects across the whole Asian countries.

18
00:00:52.665 --> 00:00:55.685
The second part is, for me is for the funding project.

19
00:00:55.915 --> 00:00:59.605
Kind of doing, doing is a funding project named,

20
00:00:59.675 --> 00:01:02.565
environmental Sustainability education program

21
00:01:02.865 --> 00:01:04.365
for the contract industry.

22
00:01:04.835 --> 00:01:08.685
This program aims to enhance the awareness

23
00:01:08.945 --> 00:01:11.885
and skills of environmental sustainability among

24
00:01:12.485 --> 00:01:14.885
contraction managers, engine engineers,

25
00:01:14.885 --> 00:01:16.965
and liberals, particularly for the liberals.

26
00:01:17.745 --> 00:01:21.485
The program, for example, focus on education, education

27
00:01:21.665 --> 00:01:24.125
and changes, promote their skills.

28
00:01:24.385 --> 00:01:27.045
For example, like how to reduce energy

29
00:01:27.045 --> 00:01:30.845
and waste, how to recite one, reduce the materials.

30
00:01:32.125 --> 00:01:36.145
So finally, for example, according to the research result

31
00:01:36.445 --> 00:01:38.865
of this project will support writing

32
00:01:40.025 --> 00:01:41.625
specific recovery support.

33
00:01:41.885 --> 00:01:44.225
We with reduction like that.

34
00:01:44.725 --> 00:01:48.785
The third part for my publications actually, for example, I,

35
00:01:48.865 --> 00:01:53.665
I just, finish one special issue is in journal

36
00:01:53.685 --> 00:01:55.865
of sustainability toward sustainable,

37
00:01:56.055 --> 00:01:58.545
sustainable contraction best practices.

38
00:01:59.125 --> 00:02:00.585
For example, like them,

39
00:02:00.765 --> 00:02:05.305
my publications makes more focus on sustainable contraction,

40
00:02:05.485 --> 00:02:10.265
for example, and to promote contracting sectors,

41
00:02:10.615 --> 00:02:14.425
enterprises, projects to promote them to get environmental

42
00:02:14.955 --> 00:02:17.945
protection, social progress, and economic development.

43
00:02:18.765 --> 00:02:20.505
So these many three parts.

44
00:02:20.615 --> 00:02:23.105
This is for, from mine side,

45
00:02:23.245 --> 00:02:25.025
to promote certain contractions.

46
00:02:25.485 --> 00:02:28.585
It will definitely promote certain contraction,

47
00:02:28.945 --> 00:02:31.225
practices and, and development.

48
00:02:31.525 --> 00:02:35.465
The o to effectively further effectively implement a

49
00:02:35.985 --> 00:02:38.705
approach, for example, particular holistic approach

50
00:02:39.255 --> 00:02:42.185
that integrate environmental, social

51
00:02:42.785 --> 00:02:44.505
economic sustainability together.

52
00:02:44.565 --> 00:02:47.385
For example, there are several strategies.

53
00:02:47.605 --> 00:02:49.185
For example, according to my research,

54
00:02:49.285 --> 00:02:52.905
we can do the first strategy education training.

55
00:02:53.805 --> 00:02:55.585
The approach, for example, aims

56
00:02:55.585 --> 00:02:58.665
to firstly promote simple contraction education

57
00:02:59.825 --> 00:03:00.925
in universities.

58
00:03:01.825 --> 00:03:03.245
Uh, for example, I, I have,

59
00:03:03.725 --> 00:03:05.725
I have prepared a research publication

60
00:03:05.825 --> 00:03:09.565
to build the knowledge framework of certain contractions,

61
00:03:10.025 --> 00:03:12.165
according to this framework, for example,

62
00:03:12.345 --> 00:03:15.085
for the university use, what kind of knowledge, what kind

63
00:03:15.085 --> 00:03:17.645
of, what kind of, for example, the skills,

64
00:03:17.915 --> 00:03:20.805
your abilities you should have, when you future,

65
00:03:20.835 --> 00:03:23.325
when you work in the industry, you can't do for,

66
00:03:23.325 --> 00:03:24.805
for this part A.

67
00:03:24.805 --> 00:03:27.285
Now things for the onsite education training.

68
00:03:28.305 --> 00:03:32.365
For this part, I have developed onsite, onsite training,

69
00:03:33.105 --> 00:03:34.765
in, into contracting project.

70
00:03:35.125 --> 00:03:36.965
I implement on site.

71
00:03:37.645 --> 00:03:39.285
I have developed one app

72
00:03:39.745 --> 00:03:43.685
and to, for the liberal focus liberals, let them, you know,

73
00:03:43.715 --> 00:03:47.245
encourage them, but by some ways to encourage them to,

74
00:03:47.585 --> 00:03:48.725
finish that app.

75
00:03:48.915 --> 00:03:52.885
This is a very, very, you know, complex prep process.

76
00:03:53.605 --> 00:03:56.605
I talk to the managers from promote for the labors.

77
00:03:56.805 --> 00:03:58.925
Together, we finished this change

78
00:03:59.345 --> 00:04:02.925
and I, for example, I also developed a free online course

79
00:04:03.425 --> 00:04:08.285
for public, and that is published, on Teachable website.

80
00:04:08.345 --> 00:04:11.845
The course is named Green Contracting Education Program.

81
00:04:12.725 --> 00:04:14.005
A certificate will be

82
00:04:14.365 --> 00:04:17.925
provided for those who who have completed this course.

83
00:04:18.355 --> 00:04:21.005
This approach definitely is not only for example,

84
00:04:21.705 --> 00:04:24.405
for university, for labors, for the public, for example,

85
00:04:24.525 --> 00:04:27.445
I don't want, if you are interested certain contraction,

86
00:04:27.445 --> 00:04:28.525
you can do this part.

87
00:04:29.995 --> 00:04:32.055
The second strategy about policy

88
00:04:32.315 --> 00:04:36.375
and regulatory promotions, first for the government

89
00:04:36.375 --> 00:04:40.535
and bodies can develop certain, contraction policies

90
00:04:40.535 --> 00:04:43.575
and regulatory framework to ensure contraction

91
00:04:43.575 --> 00:04:46.895
and adhere high environmental and I ethical standards.

92
00:04:47.595 --> 00:04:49.375
Um, currently another,

93
00:04:49.635 --> 00:04:52.375
my research interest about the policy framework

94
00:04:52.395 --> 00:04:54.255
on s contraction.

95
00:04:54.795 --> 00:04:56.535
Um, that's because for example,

96
00:04:56.635 --> 00:05:00.775
we know currently there are many green building related,

97
00:05:01.515 --> 00:05:05.255
standard of frameworks such as lead in the US

98
00:05:06.315 --> 00:05:08.655
in the UK for the green line of tri,

99
00:05:09.235 --> 00:05:13.655
but very few certificated related to contraction,

100
00:05:13.965 --> 00:05:16.415
sustainable contraction, definitely different with

101
00:05:17.135 --> 00:05:18.255
building buildings.

102
00:05:18.805 --> 00:05:21.415
Most focus on building itself.

103
00:05:21.815 --> 00:05:25.215
Contrasting focus onsite on onsite for the liberals,

104
00:05:25.275 --> 00:05:27.895
for the, for the site and manages.

105
00:05:28.195 --> 00:05:30.215
How can you do that, for example?

106
00:05:31.035 --> 00:05:34.135
So this is the second part I'm doing for the policy,

107
00:05:34.235 --> 00:05:35.735
and regulatory is important.

108
00:05:36.195 --> 00:05:39.215
The third strategy is to promote smart

109
00:05:39.215 --> 00:05:42.735
and simple contracting technologies and management together.

110
00:05:43.555 --> 00:05:46.375
For example, smart contracting technology such

111
00:05:46.455 --> 00:05:49.015
as 3D printing beam related

112
00:05:49.395 --> 00:05:51.735
and industrialized prefabricated

113
00:05:52.515 --> 00:05:56.055
and digital contrasting technology like RAE for example,

114
00:05:56.055 --> 00:05:59.645
machine learning, digital twins like them, for example.

115
00:05:59.665 --> 00:06:00.845
All those technologies,

116
00:06:01.395 --> 00:06:04.285
they can promote sustainable contracting as well.

117
00:06:04.625 --> 00:06:08.045
Not only for example, for the contracting technology

118
00:06:08.145 --> 00:06:12.325
for itself and also for the advanced project manage method.

119
00:06:13.075 --> 00:06:15.685
Okay, such as for the lifecycle management

120
00:06:16.345 --> 00:06:18.205
and for the circle economy.

121
00:06:18.465 --> 00:06:21.925
For example, timber procurement, risk amendment,

122
00:06:22.195 --> 00:06:23.645
link contraction, like them,

123
00:06:23.995 --> 00:06:27.405
they all can promote the timber contraction for that.

124
00:06:27.945 --> 00:06:31.485
So combine those strategies together with contract

125
00:06:32.065 --> 00:06:34.765
can effectively overcome those challenges.

126
00:06:34.905 --> 00:06:37.645
You said, for example, skill liberal shortage,

127
00:06:38.025 --> 00:06:39.685
low level technology innovation.

128
00:06:40.545 --> 00:06:43.005
So we can, for example, use them.

129
00:06:43.705 --> 00:06:47.365
We ensure the environmental social economic

130
00:06:48.015 --> 00:06:51.085
properties can be achieved according to previous studies

131
00:06:51.545 --> 00:06:55.405
as there are some successful cases, best practices.

132
00:06:55.585 --> 00:06:58.645
For example, not only from me, from my side,

133
00:06:58.755 --> 00:07:00.805
also from other previous studies.

134
00:07:01.465 --> 00:07:03.125
Um, for example, let's see.

135
00:07:03.545 --> 00:07:06.205
Uh, in, for example, when Central Park,

136
00:07:06.625 --> 00:07:10.245
it is a mixed use development project in Sydney.

137
00:07:11.025 --> 00:07:14.205
For this project, it, was known for each

138
00:07:14.715 --> 00:07:17.685
notable vertical guardian sustainable design.

139
00:07:18.035 --> 00:07:21.565
It's integrated residential retail commercial space

140
00:07:22.185 --> 00:07:24.605
and has won numerous sustainable award

141
00:07:24.705 --> 00:07:27.605
for environmental protection, social progress,

142
00:07:27.625 --> 00:07:29.005
and economic development.

143
00:07:29.825 --> 00:07:34.045
Uh, for my, for my project, for example, my funding project,

144
00:07:34.465 --> 00:07:39.205
the, best practice for education program for the,

145
00:07:39.905 --> 00:07:42.605
in the industry, there are two case projects.

146
00:07:43.265 --> 00:07:46.365
Um, those pro two projects, one residential

147
00:07:46.365 --> 00:07:48.365
and another one for motor project

148
00:07:49.345 --> 00:07:52.045
to support timber onsite sustainability.

149
00:07:52.185 --> 00:07:55.645
Onsite, we organize onsite training sessions for works.

150
00:07:56.135 --> 00:07:59.525
Those sessions focus on green contraction technical such

151
00:07:59.525 --> 00:08:02.725
as proper, proper waste reduction, energy de fishing,

152
00:08:02.835 --> 00:08:06.285
work practice, and water conservation strategies.

153
00:08:07.025 --> 00:08:10.365
The training hybrid contraction work with necessary skills

154
00:08:10.785 --> 00:08:13.725
and knowledge and to improve,

155
00:08:13.995 --> 00:08:16.205
implement more sustainable method

156
00:08:16.865 --> 00:08:19.205
and you know, for their daily tasks.

157
00:08:20.305 --> 00:08:22.285
For, for our research team, for example,

158
00:08:22.395 --> 00:08:24.605
also in play continuous monitoring

159
00:08:24.745 --> 00:08:29.285
and guidance to ensure ongoing adhere green practices,

160
00:08:30.645 --> 00:08:33.115
which regularly observe daily activities.

161
00:08:33.535 --> 00:08:35.955
Mm, the contraction works there.

162
00:08:35.955 --> 00:08:39.035
Daily activities to provide feedback to correct,

163
00:08:39.095 --> 00:08:41.755
for example, any, your behavior can be improved,

164
00:08:41.855 --> 00:08:44.235
for example, properly for that waste.

165
00:08:44.615 --> 00:08:46.835
You, you can, you know, put it, you know,

166
00:08:46.835 --> 00:08:49.555
that recycle being lime, like those things.

167
00:08:50.055 --> 00:08:51.075
Uh, we found that

168
00:08:51.075 --> 00:08:52.315
after implementation,

169
00:08:52.375 --> 00:08:56.165
the green contraction education on site, the knowledge for

170
00:08:56.165 --> 00:08:59.285
that simple contracting practice works can be improved

171
00:08:59.285 --> 00:09:00.485
around 30%.

172
00:09:00.785 --> 00:09:04.685
That's because we do the, we do the test at the beginning.

173
00:09:04.685 --> 00:09:06.125
After training, we do a test.

174
00:09:06.175 --> 00:09:08.925
Again, we compare the, the test for example.

175
00:09:09.235 --> 00:09:10.965
Then we will know what kind of, for example,

176
00:09:11.285 --> 00:09:14.125
material can be recycled, what kind of materials, okay?

177
00:09:14.275 --> 00:09:16.565
They can be recycled is used like them,

178
00:09:17.025 --> 00:09:21.645
and for the water energy consumption on site can be dropped

179
00:09:21.745 --> 00:09:24.725
around 3% is for the energy for, for the water.

180
00:09:24.865 --> 00:09:28.805
For sometimes you, you know, you, you can turn off

181
00:09:29.025 --> 00:09:31.005
for example, when you left that.

182
00:09:31.585 --> 00:09:33.965
So for this, you know, positive impact

183
00:09:34.065 --> 00:09:36.725
for the efficient management definitely can improve

184
00:09:36.725 --> 00:09:38.205
the contractions.

185
00:09:38.825 --> 00:09:42.405
Uh, another, for example, in my book development

186
00:09:42.425 --> 00:09:45.765
and Contraction Asia, I have found there's many,

187
00:09:45.795 --> 00:09:47.405
many Asian countries.

188
00:09:47.985 --> 00:09:51.245
Uh, they use advanced contraction technologies method

189
00:09:51.875 --> 00:09:55.245
technical to promote suitable contraction performance.

190
00:09:55.825 --> 00:10:00.605
Uh, for example, the integrated project delivery IPD

191
00:10:00.825 --> 00:10:05.085
and link contraction method has been promoted in s contract

192
00:10:05.085 --> 00:10:06.165
in China a lot.

193
00:10:06.785 --> 00:10:08.485
The 3D printing technologies

194
00:10:08.505 --> 00:10:12.085
and based contrasting technologies, for example,

195
00:10:12.085 --> 00:10:14.125
have been widely, you know,

196
00:10:14.845 --> 00:10:16.845
explored in Asian contrast industries.

197
00:10:16.875 --> 00:10:20.085
There's many countries they have used, for example,

198
00:10:20.185 --> 00:10:24.125
in India, in any around, you know, those countries,

199
00:10:24.195 --> 00:10:25.605
they have trans used a lot.

200
00:10:26.065 --> 00:10:29.165
So I think, you know, currently the whole, you know,

201
00:10:29.165 --> 00:10:31.125
whole world contract in action, they try

202
00:10:31.125 --> 00:10:33.045
to promote more the sustainable contract.

203
00:10:33.175 --> 00:10:37.205
There are many, best practice cases we are doing now.

204
00:10:37.205 --> 00:10:38.485
There are some challenges

205
00:10:38.545 --> 00:10:41.845
and barriers, to sustainable contraction, particularly

206
00:10:42.385 --> 00:10:43.805
in industrial practice.

207
00:10:44.845 --> 00:10:47.565
I believe sustainable contraction will be

208
00:10:47.565 --> 00:10:49.045
and can be promoted and

209
00:10:49.345 --> 00:10:51.485
and blame in the contraction

210
00:10:52.385 --> 00:10:55.205
as it can address the environmental social

211
00:10:55.725 --> 00:10:59.165
economic challenges faced by contraction sectors

212
00:10:59.545 --> 00:11:02.925
and promote long term certain billion resilience

213
00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:04.085
for the contracting works.

214
00:11:04.085 --> 00:11:08.205
Company industries, future studies are expected

215
00:11:08.425 --> 00:11:12.965
to research promoting first, first important things,

216
00:11:13.765 --> 00:11:17.125
economic sustainability result, decreasing environment

217
00:11:17.125 --> 00:11:18.365
and social sustainability.

218
00:11:18.605 --> 00:11:21.005
I emphasize for the economic sustainability,

219
00:11:21.945 --> 00:11:23.405
economic sustainability.

220
00:11:23.505 --> 00:11:26.445
That's because for the currently, currently

221
00:11:26.505 --> 00:11:29.285
for the contracting companies, you, you know

222
00:11:29.285 --> 00:11:31.285
that there are a lot of challenges for them.

223
00:11:31.505 --> 00:11:33.805
So the much more focused on economic system.

224
00:11:34.675 --> 00:11:38.565
Also they try to promote a social, social sustainability,

225
00:11:38.565 --> 00:11:39.605
environmental sustainability.

226
00:11:39.945 --> 00:11:43.845
But I'm thinking for example, when our research is

227
00:11:43.945 --> 00:11:48.165
to promote economic certificate without disre in

228
00:11:48.165 --> 00:11:52.925
environmental and social at first, okay, contracting

229
00:11:53.245 --> 00:11:56.485
Material technology management are always required

230
00:11:56.485 --> 00:12:00.125
to be developed, which can generally promote environmental,

231
00:12:00.145 --> 00:12:03.085
social, and economic sustain together, such

232
00:12:03.085 --> 00:12:04.565
as recycled materials,

233
00:12:05.145 --> 00:12:07.645
mod module contraction and circle economy.

234
00:12:08.305 --> 00:12:12.205
Uh, this research can effect areas, sustainable contraction,

235
00:12:12.205 --> 00:12:14.925
education policies, these and other things.

236
00:12:15.435 --> 00:12:18.485
Finally, I would like to comment there a

237
00:12:19.435 --> 00:12:21.645
qualitative method for measuring

238
00:12:22.395 --> 00:12:24.125
sustainable contraction performance.

239
00:12:24.195 --> 00:12:27.685
Because currently for sustainable contraction performance,

240
00:12:27.985 --> 00:12:29.725
mainly, for example, there lots

241
00:12:29.925 --> 00:12:32.605
of quantitative method just talking.

242
00:12:33.025 --> 00:12:36.845
So if we can use this one method as qualitative data,

243
00:12:36.845 --> 00:12:39.005
environmental analysis, this method

244
00:12:39.865 --> 00:12:43.405
can consider environmental, social, economic indicators

245
00:12:44.065 --> 00:12:46.965
in politics method together, together

246
00:12:47.065 --> 00:12:49.125
to measure certain contraction.

247
00:12:49.665 --> 00:12:52.725
Its measure, result can help investigate the pathways

248
00:12:52.725 --> 00:12:56.045
and driving, forcing promote s timber contraction.

249
00:12:56.295 --> 00:12:57.685
Those series together.

Advancing Timber Development and Sustainability in Contracting

00:00:00 - We know that, for example, currently the temple contraction whole topic is for in the whole world. We try to find how to promote the timber development in the whole, for example, contraction in. Currently for me, for example, I'm mainly doing three parts for my research, from my research to promote certain contractions. The first thing, for example, I'm doing, a book I, I have write a book named The Certain Development

00:00:33 - this book will be published as end of this year. This book will provide a holistic, view, for example, how to promote certain principles, are being integrated into contracting pro projects across the whole Asian countries. The second part is, for me is for the funding project. Kind of doing, doing is a funding project named, environmental Sustainability education program

00:01:04 - This program aims to enhance the awareness and skills of environmental sustainability among contraction managers, engine engineers, and liberals, particularly for the liberals. The program, for example, focus on education, education and changes, promote their skills. For example, like how to reduce energy and waste, how to recite one, reduce the materials. So finally, for example, according to the research result

Strategies for Sustainable Contracting Practices

00:01:40 - specific recovery support. We with reduction like that. The third part for my publications actually, for example, I, I just, finish one special issue is in journal of sustainability toward sustainable, sustainable contraction best practices. For example, like them, my publications makes more focus on sustainable contraction, for example, and to promote contracting sectors,

00:02:14 - protection, social progress, and economic development. So these many three parts. This is for, from mine side, to promote certain contractions. It will definitely promote certain contraction, practices and, and development. The o to effectively further effectively implement a approach, for example, particular holistic approach that integrate environmental, social

00:02:44 - For example, there are several strategies. For example, according to my research, we can do the first strategy education training. The approach, for example, aims to firstly promote simple contraction education in universities. for example, I, I have, I have prepared a research publication to build the knowledge framework of certain contractions, according to this framework, for example, for the university use, what kind of knowledge, what kind

Onsite Training and Education in Sustainable Contracting

00:03:17 - your abilities you should have, when you future, when you work in the industry, you can't do for, for this part A. Now things for the onsite education training. For this part, I have developed onsite, onsite training, in, into contracting project. I implement on site. I have developed one app and to, for the liberal focus liberals, let them, you know, encourage them, but by some ways to encourage them to,

00:03:48 - This is a very, very, you know, complex prep process. I talk to the managers from promote for the labors. Together, we finished this change and I, for example, I also developed a free online course for public, and that is published, on Teachable website. The course is named Green Contracting Education Program. A certificate will be provided for those who who have completed this course.

00:04:21 - for university, for labors, for the public, for example, I don't want, if you are interested certain contraction, you can do this part. The second strategy about policy and regulatory promotions, first for the government and bodies can develop certain, contraction policies and regulatory framework to ensure contraction and adhere high environmental and I ethical standards. currently another,

Integrating Sustainability in Contracting Practices

00:04:52 - on s contraction. that's because for example, we know currently there are many green building related, standard of frameworks such as lead in the US in the UK for the green line of tri, but very few certificated related to contraction, sustainable contraction, definitely different with building buildings. Most focus on building itself.

00:05:25 - for the, for the site and manages. How can you do that, for example? So this is the second part I'm doing for the policy, and regulatory is important. The third strategy is to promote smart and simple contracting technologies and management together. For example, smart contracting technology such as 3D printing beam related and industrialized prefabricated

00:05:56 - machine learning, digital twins like them, for example. All those technologies, they can promote sustainable contracting as well. Not only for example, for the contracting technology for itself and also for the advanced project manage method. Okay, such as for the lifecycle management and for the circle economy. For example, timber procurement, risk amendment, link contraction, like them,

Strategies for Sustainable Contracting and Education

00:06:27 - So combine those strategies together with contract can effectively overcome those challenges. You said, for example, skill liberal shortage, low level technology innovation. So we can, for example, use them. We ensure the environmental social economic properties can be achieved according to previous studies as there are some successful cases, best practices.

00:06:58 - also from other previous studies. for example, let's see. in, for example, when Central Park, it is a mixed use development project in Sydney. For this project, it, was known for each notable vertical guardian sustainable design. It's integrated residential retail commercial space and has won numerous sustainable award for environmental protection, social progress,

00:07:29 - for my, for my project, for example, my funding project, the, best practice for education program for the, in the industry, there are two case projects. those pro two projects, one residential and another one for motor project to support timber onsite sustainability. Onsite, we organize onsite training sessions for works. Those sessions focus on green contraction technical such

Enhancing Sustainable Practices through Training and Monitoring

00:08:02 - work practice, and water conservation strategies. The training hybrid contraction work with necessary skills and knowledge and to improve, implement more sustainable method and you know, for their daily tasks. For, for our research team, for example, also in play continuous monitoring and guidance to ensure ongoing adhere green practices,

00:08:33 - Mm, the contraction works there. Daily activities to provide feedback to correct, for example, any, your behavior can be improved, for example, properly for that waste. You, you can, you know, put it, you know, that recycle being lime, like those things. we found that after implementation, the green contraction education on site, the knowledge for that simple contracting practice works can be improved around 30%.

00:09:04 - After training, we do a test. Again, we compare the, the test for example. Then we will know what kind of, for example, material can be recycled, what kind of materials, okay? They can be recycled is used like them, and for the water energy consumption on site can be dropped around 3% is for the energy for, for the water. For sometimes you, you know, you, you can turn off for example, when you left that.

Promoting Sustainable Construction Practices in Asia

00:09:34 - for the efficient management definitely can improve the contractions. another, for example, in my book development and Contraction Asia, I have found there's many, many Asian countries. they use advanced contraction technologies method technical to promote suitable contraction performance. for example, the integrated project delivery IPD and link contraction method has been promoted in s contract

00:10:06 - The 3D printing technologies and based contrasting technologies, for example, have been widely, you know, explored in Asian contrast industries. There's many countries they have used, for example, in India, in any around, you know, those countries, they have trans used a lot. So I think, you know, currently the whole, you know, whole world contract in action, they try to promote more the sustainable contract. There are many, best practice cases we are doing now.

00:10:38 - and barriers, to sustainable contraction, particularly in industrial practice. I believe sustainable contraction will be and can be promoted and and blame in the contraction as it can address the environmental social economic challenges faced by contraction sectors and promote long term certain billion resilience for the contracting works. Company industries, future studies are expected

Balancing Economic and Sustainable Development in Contracting

00:11:13 - economic sustainability result, decreasing environment and social sustainability. I emphasize for the economic sustainability, economic sustainability. That's because for the currently, currently for the contracting companies, you, you know that there are a lot of challenges for them. So the much more focused on economic system. Also they try to promote a social, social sustainability,

00:11:39 - But I'm thinking for example, when our research is to promote economic certificate without disre in environmental and social at first, okay, contracting Material technology management are always required to be developed, which can generally promote environmental, social, and economic sustain together, such as recycled materials, mod module contraction and circle economy. this research can effect areas, sustainable contraction,

00:12:15 - Finally, I would like to comment there a qualitative method for measuring sustainable contraction performance. Because currently for sustainable contraction performance, mainly, for example, there lots of quantitative method just talking. So if we can use this one method as qualitative data, environmental analysis, this method can consider environmental, social, economic indicators

Measuring Sustainable Timber Contracting

00:12:56 - to measure certain contraction. Its measure, result can help investigate the pathways and driving, forcing promote s timber contraction. Those series together.
