Introduction
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) have become a crucial component of modern development initiatives.This is because EIAs provide a systematic framework for evaluating the potential environmental, social, and economic impacts of projects, ensuring that development activities are carried out in a sustainable and environmentally conscious manner (Sun & Goh, 2015).By integrating environmental considerations into the planning and decision-making processes, EIAs help to avoid costly and time-consuming corrections later in the project lifecycle, ultimately contributing to the overall goal of sustainable development (Ali & Al Nsairat, 2009) The significance of EIAs lies in their ability to predict and mitigate potential environmental impacts, thereby reducing the risk of environmental degradation and ensuring that development projects are socially inclusive and economically viable (Ali & Al Nsairat, 2009).By involving stakeholders and the public in the EIA process, EIAs also foster transparency, accountability, and social acceptance of development projects.This aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which emphasize the importance of partnerships, Indonesia Journal of Engineering and Education Technology (IJEET) Volume 2 Nomor 2, April 2024, p:282-289 E-ISSN: 3026-7544 knowledge sharing, and inclusive decision-making in achieving sustainable development.
Green building certification and compliance play a crucial role in reducing environmental impacts by promoting sustainable practices throughout the construction process (Agbajor & Mewomo, 2024a).By adhering to green building standards and regulations, developers and builders can minimize the ecological footprint of their projects, ensuring that the built environment is not only functional but also environmentally conscious.This approach not only contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment but also supports the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which emphasize the importance of sustainable development and environmental protection (Raouf & Al-Ghamdi, 2023a) Green building certification and compliance involve a systematic evaluation of a building's environmental performance, assessing factors such as energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction.This evaluation process helps identify areas where improvements can be made, allowing for the implementation of sustainable design and construction strategies (Vijayan et al., 2023).By incorporating green building principles, architects and builders can create structures that not only reduce their environmental impact but also provide healthier and more productive spaces for occupants.This holistic approach to building design and construction is essential for achieving a more sustainable future.
The benefits of green building certification and compliance extend beyond environmental impacts, as they also contribute to economic and social benefits.For instance, green buildings can reduce energy consumption and operating costs, leading to increased profitability for building owners (Raouf & Al-Ghamdi, 2023a).Additionally, green buildings can enhance occupant health and well-being, leading to improved productivity and overall quality of life.By prioritizing green building certification and compliance, the construction industry can not only reduce its environmental footprint but also contribute to a more sustainable and responsible development sector (Song et al., 2023a) Recent studies have emphasized the importance of integrating environmental considerations into development projects from the outset.For instance, the Indonesian company Peruri has implemented sustainability initiatives, including a responsible waste management program and a focus on reducing environmental impacts throughout the supply chain.Similarly, the Indonesian Green Building Council has been actively promoting green building practices and certification.In Australia, green building compliance is a growing trend, with builders and architects prioritizing sustainability and minimizing environmental impact throughout the construction process (Vijayan et al., 2023).This approach offers benefits such as efficiency and reduced costs but also faces challenges like higher initial expenses and the risk of greenwashing.
