ABSTRACT
For any country to successfully adopt sustainability practice, it is necessary to take their cue from early adopters and determine the geographical, cultural and climatic conditions of the country. Hence, this chapter investigates the sustainability features and implementation strategies of selected construction projects (residential, commercial and large office buildings) from the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Australia and Canada. For the projects investigated, the lessons that could be learned by Africa in her quest for the practice of sustainable design and construction are discussed. It is therefore hoped that the lessons will be helpful for the construction industry and the nations in Africa at large.
