Welcome to the lesson on environmental protection in construction. The construction industry has a substantial impact on the environment, from the consumption of natural resources to the generation of waste and pollution. As awareness of climate change and ecological preservation grows, it is crucial for construction practices to evolve toward minimizing environmental harm.

In this lesson, we will explore the key principles of environmental protection in construction, including reducing pollution, safeguarding natural ecosystems, and promoting sustainable resource use. You’ll learn about practices such as eco-friendly site management, the use of low-impact materials, energy-efficient building techniques, and waste reduction strategies.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand how construction projects can be designed and managed to protect the environment, meet regulatory requirements, and support long-term sustainability. Let’s dive into how we can build responsibly while minimizing environmental impact.
