Abstract
A series of regional conferences to promote sustainable building were held in 2004-05. These events were designed to augment a cycle of international conferences and a prevailing international approach to sustainable building. The intent was to raise awareness, exchange information on region-specific topics, identify research and practical needs, discuss capacity building, and, most importantly, elevate the needs and concerns of a regional approach to the international community.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
