“…For instance, in Beijing, the average monthly contribution of construction dust to the overall PM 10 pollution was around 10% [28]. Dust emissions in some places of Shanghai accounted for 12.4% of air particles [29]. In Guiyang, which is supposed to be an ecological city in Southwest China, the proportion is surprisingly 24.89% as measured by fugitive dust [27].…”

Dust pollution is a key issue that contractors ought to address in the sphere of sustainable construction. Governments on behalf of the public assume part of the responsibilities for minimizing dust emissions on construction sites. However, the measures that are useful for governments to fulfill such a responsibility have not been explored explicitly in previous studies. The aim of this research is to map out China's practices in this area with the intention of filling the knowledge gap. Using a combination of research methods, five categories of governmental measures are proposed: technological, economic, supervisory, organizational, and assessment-based. Data from 37 major cities in China are collected for analysis. While the proposed categories of measures are demonstrated in China, the data analysis results show that governments prefer technological and organizational measures, and institutional guarantees and technological innovation are a prerequisite for dust-free construction. This research provides a comprehensive examination of construction dust control from the perspective of governments, and it can assist governments in improving the performance of dust management in the construction context.

Construction activities must conserved energy, land, water and material to successfully implementing green construction, while planning and managing the work regarding the minimisation of environmental impacts related to the construction process. Notwithstanding this, many arguments and discrepancies between the ideal form of green construction and existing construction due to the practical difficulties in realizing the concept of green construction. This paper critically reviews the existing green building assessment tools, theoretical framework and the critical success factors based on literature review search. Investigating the existing green building assessment tools, theoretical framework and critical success factors are fundamental in determining the successful implementation of green construction in the Malaysian construction environment. Keywords Critical success factors Á Green building assessment tools Á Theoretical framework Á Green construction Á Malaysian construction environment 1 Introduction Construction industry in Malaysia is considered the fastest developing country in Asia and has contributed 3-7 % to the Gross Development Product (GDP). The current GDP has contributed to 6.2 % in the first quarter of 2014. For five consecutive quarters, the construction sector continued to register impressive growth with
