Some crucial social sustainability KPIs to assess sustainability are:
⁃Local Community Engagement
⁃Worker’s Health and Safety
⁃People Development
⁃Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

[Javier Rodriguez @JRodr287]

These KPIs are very important to meet the triple bottom line of sustainability because although they are primarily focused on people, they also benefit the economy and the planet.

The social KPIs are essential in order for the project to not only benefit the owner but the community as well. It needs to be a symbiotic relationship between both parties.

The construction industry utilizes various Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure sustainability performance within their projects. Some of the KPIs used are the measurement of water consumption, use of renewable energy and the waste and recycling management.

[Javier Rodriguez @JRodr287]

Additionally, some social sustainability KPIs used are the impact on the local community, employment creation and the use of local resources such as vendors and suppliers.

Decarbonization means transforming the world as we know it. It is about phasing out human made carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere with the eventual goal of removing them. In order to do this we need to focus on how energy is generated and how it is used…

[Javier Rodriguez @JRodr287]

in the planning, strategizing, designing, procuring, and construction phases of the projects. Additionally, the operation and management aspect of the building should be taken in consideration as well. A sustainability focused mindset is essential for decarbonizing construction.

A sustainable practice I use is recycling. Additionally, I walk to work instead of using my car.

The construction process can be sustainable by implementing a triple bottom line approach in which the planet, the community and the economy are prioritized instead of focusing on profits.
