The 1st International Conference on Net-Zero Built Environment

This open access book provides the latest fundamental and practical advances in reducing the built environment’s carbon footprint based on a collection of papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Net-Zero Built Environment: Innovations in Materials, Structures, and Management Practices, held June 19-21, 2024, in Oslo, Norway.

The volume presents research investigations and case studies spanning five interrelated domains:

1. New materials and material preparation processes for zero (or negative) carbon footprint
2. Robotic construction technologies for minimum formwork and on-site activities
3. Novel structural designs and details for optimal performance with the least material usage
4. Advanced condition assessment and health monitoring methods for the longest service life
5. Innovative life-cycle analysis and policy-making strategies for effective civil infrastructure management
