ABSTRACT

This volume deals with management of environmentally sustainable innovation in building. Managers, designers, builders, advisors, and clients are involved in the application of sustainable energy and material innovations in building projects. The actors in a building project cooperate in a process of consecutive phases. It starts with development of plans and continues with designing, planning, and building activities. Sustainably innovative building projects are dedicated to the cooperative creation of environmentally-friendly objects. The approach of this volume is that it uses a generic innovation management theoretical lens to focus specifically on the management of project participants and building processes in sustainably innovative building. Based on this, it develops an analytically valid theory of the management of sustainable innovation for various industries.
