Eco-innovation Mobilisation Framework For Contractors In Green Development Projects

The concept of eco-innovation (EI) addresses the complex issues between the construction sector and the environment to restore the balance between both elements. The impacts of a slow rate of innovation within this sector emphasise the need for contractors to use EI measures to reduce these negative...
