Sustainable development is rapidly becoming a global phenomenon - the remit of which encompasses a wide range of professions and societal interest groups. This collection of papers from the CIB Task Group 55 (smart and sustainable built environments) presents key findings to date on a wide range of current research and practice in this emerging field in order to promote awareness, understanding and synergy.
