O knihe
It is very obvious the world's population is fast growing. It estimated that the world's population will double in the next 40 years, this may sound like a very good news for the housing sector because all those extra people will need places to lay their head. Taken as a whole, the construction industry utilizes 50% of all materials extracted from the earth's crust. Utilization of these natural resources have adverse effects on the ecosystem, as a result there is a need to take responsibility for the effect of the construction industry on society and the environment, and appropriate measure taken to address those issues. However the real estate sector in Ghana uses mostly 'wet' applied finishes such as Paints and Tiles that are imported in most cases. Many imported materials in common use could be substituted with a local equivalent. The Ghanaian market is flooded with cheap imported building materials which may not be as durable as home- produced equivalents and there is a long history of high-quality building-materials research, mainly from BRRI in Kumasi, but little has passed into common use in the construction industry.
