- Abstract
Many construction projects have been completed in the urbanization process in China. Long construction period and large-scale and complicated processes are the most prominent characteristics of construction projects. Construction projects are sensitive to many factors and cause enormous environmental pollution. Effective green construction measures can control potential environmental pollution. To analyze types of environmental pollution in construction sites, some environmental protection measures based on the philosophy of green construction were proposed. In this study, existing studies on environmental pollution in construction sites and green construction around the world have been reviewed. Types of environmental pollution caused by architectural construction and the principle and control keys of green construction were summarized. Research results demonstrated that noise pollution, light pollution, water pollution, solid waste pollution, and dust pollution were the major types of environmental pollution in construction sites. The core of green construction is to control existing and potential pollutants in construction sites throughout the project. Finally, some green construction measures were proposed, including establishing an environmental management system, strengthening environmental supervision, perfecting construction environmental management, and determining environmental technological management rules. Research conclusions provide positive references to understand types of environmental pollution in construction sites, establish green construction environment, save energies and reduce consumptions during construction, and protect the construction environment.
