Two concepts in building which account for the ecological economics of building materials are green building and sustainable development. A life-cycle analysis also includes the reuse, recycling, or disposal of construction waste. Also the carbon footprint, the total set of greenhouse gas emissions produced in the life of the material. Red List building materials are materials found to be harmful. An example of the micro aspect of pollution is the off-gassing of the building materials in the building or indoor air pollution. The macro, environmental pollution of extraction industries building materials rely on such as mining, petroleum, and logging produce environmental damage at their source and in transportation of the raw materials, manufacturing, transportation of the products, retailing, and installation. It is said that, "if it must be done, it must be done well". The cost of materials should be taken into consideration to bear the risk to buy combustive materials to enlarge the lifetime. Risks when considering lifetime cost of a material is if the building is damaged such as by fire or wind, or if the material is not as durable as advertised. ![]() Some materials may require more care than others, maintaining costs specific to some materials may also influence the final decision. For example, an asphalt shingle roof costs less than a metal roof to install, but the metal roof will last longer so the lifetime cost is less per year. Sometimes people take into consideration the energy savings or durability of the materials and see the value of paying a higher initial cost in return for a lower lifetime cost. This is often what governs decision making about what materials to use. Initial economic cost of building materials is the purchase price. These trends tend to increase the initial and long-term economic, ecological, energy, and social costs of building materials. In history, there are trends in building materials from being natural to becoming more human-made and composite biodegradable to imperishable indigenous (local) to being transported globally repairable to disposable chosen for increased levels of fire-safety, and improved seismic resistance.
