| Summary: | Sustainable development policies are often on the agenda as global warming and resource depletion problems are increasing. The construction sector is one of the focal points of these studies with high environmental burdens. Many building materials, methods and tools are used together during the construction process. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method has been developed in order to determine the environmental load of these inputs. As a result of LCA studies, the load of components or processes on the environment can be calculated and critical points can be determined. In this study, the sustainability of construction materials have researched by books, post graduate theses and articles in Turkey and around the world and summarised with a table.
