This Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) project is a Type III (A:C) partnership between Arizona State University (ASU), an NSF PFI graduate 0090559, and two institutions that are new to the PFI Program (defined as ones that have never been PFI grantees), San Diego State University and Cleveland State University. Building upon a previous housing partnership effort, the project seeks to develop sustainability metrics related to construction operations which can be used by construction companies throughout the nation and beyond. While the transformation focused upon sustainability in the built environment has certainly touched the construction industry; paradoxically, the construction industry itself has been left out of efforts to encourage green practices. Metrics for construction operations do not currently exist in any form and construction companies are left to measure their sustainability in their own way. For the most part, they do no measuring at all. Through discovery and applied research, this project will provide a base upon which sustainable construction operations can be built, measured, weighed, and improved, thereby stimulating significant new research and activity.Improvements in the environmental performance of construction operations are high on the agenda of many national and global organizations. The long-term goal of this project is to provide the construction industry with a standard protocol that will enable measurement and improvement of the environmental performance of onsite construction processes. Conserving material and energy resources will engender economic benefits to the U.S. The project will also contribute toward a fundamental understanding of just how our efforts to build the things we build affect the environment in which we live. Partnership products will enable participation in the discovery process for education groups at all levels, K-12 through university, and for industry groups.Partners at the inception of the project are Academic Institutions: Arizona State University (lead institution), San Diego State University, and Cleveland State University; Private Sector Companies: Pulte Building Systems, SCP Concrete, LLC, DR Wastchak, LLC, and Baker Concrete; and Professional and Trade Organizations: American Concrete Institute (including, specifically, the Concrete Research Council, the ACI Committee 130 Sustainability in Concrete Construction, and the Strategic Development Council), American Coal Ash Association, American Concrete Pavement Association, American Society of Concrete Contractors, National Concrete Pavement Technology Center, and National Ready Mixed Concrete Association.

这种创新合作伙伴关系（PFI）项目是Arizona州立大学（ASU），NSF PFI研究生0090559和PFI计划的新机构（定义为从未是PFI Grantees的NSF型机构），圣地亚哥州立大学和Cleveland State University之间的两个机构（定义为PFI计划）之间的合作伙伴关系。 在以前的住房合作伙伴关系的基础上，该项目旨在开发与建筑运营相关的可持续性指标，这些指标可供全国各地的建筑公司使用。 尽管着重于建筑环境中的可持续性的转型肯定触及了建筑行业。矛盾的是，建筑行业本身被排除在鼓励绿色实践的努力中。 目前尚未以任何形式存在建筑运营的指标，并且建筑公司以自己的方式衡量其可持续性。 在大多数情况下，他们根本没有测量。通过发现和应用研究，该项目将提供一个基础，以此为基础，可以建立，测量，称重和改进可持续的建筑运营，从而刺激重大的新研究和活动。在许多国家和全球组织的议程上，建筑运营的环境绩效提高了。该项目的长期目标是为建筑行业提供标准协议，该协议将能够衡量和改善现场建筑过程的环境绩效。保护材料和能源将为美国带来经济利益，该项目还将有助于对我们建立我们建造事物的努力的基本理解，影响着我们所生活的环境。 合作伙伴产品将使各个级别的教育小组，K-12通过大学和行业小组的发现过程。私营部门公司：Pulte Building Systems，SCP Concrete，LLC，Wastchak，LLC和Baker Concrete；以及专业和贸易组织：美国混凝土研究所（包括具体研究委员会，ACI委员会130混凝土建设中的可持续性和战略发展委员会），美国煤灰协会，美国混凝土路面协会，美国混凝土承包商学会，国家混凝土保留技术中心和国家现成混合混合混合混凝土协会。
