Important Sustainability Determinants Meeting Sustainability Goals of California Infrastructure Construction Projects

Abstract

The United States has developed and is developing multiple rating systems for infrastructure and transportation projects. Although these systems share some commonalities in terms of methods and criteria, decision makers need to deal with which one best fits their project's evaluation and meet their organization goals because the systems are different from one another in certain ways. This paper aims to examine the importance of sustainability determinants and how they affect the success of meeting sustainability goals of infrastructure construction projects. This paper, therefore, presents the statistical results on five major sustainability determinants such as site, water/wastewater, energy, materials/resources, and environmental determinants.
