This article summarizes the results of a research project that was funded by the Construction Industry Institute that addressed design and construction for sustainable industrial construction. The research project included a global literature review of articles related to sustainable industrial construction and a survey investigation of industrial construction firms that was used to determine the viability of utilizing sustainable practices in the industrial construction industry. Members of the industrial construction industry provided information on the utilization of sustainable practices in their firms and numerous examples of the types of sustainable practices that they have already implemented in their firms. The research project also developed several implementation resources that are discussed, such as a quick start guide for implementing sustainability practices, two maturity models that could be used to help evaluate the level of sustainability on projects, and a checklist for sustainability evaluation of industrial construction projects.
