It is the use of goods and services for the satisfaction of individual or collective human needs or wants. Alternatively, a consumption of a good or service is one that is used (without further transformation in production) by households, non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs) or government units for the direct satisfaction of individual needs or wants or the collective needs of members of the community.’

This is driven by client demand, industry action, increasingly strict regulations and technological developments.

Consumption refers to the use a resource.

A ‘consumer’ is the ultimate user of resources such as goods and services and the party who derives the benefit that is associated with them. However, a consumer is not necessarily the same thing as a customer: a parent buying toys may be a customer in a toyshop but the ultimate consumer is their child. So, consumers do not necessarily make buying decisions.

The construction industry is one of the biggest consumers of resources. New construction consumes some 40% of raw materials globally, and the construction sector in Europe accounts for more than 40% of Europe’s energy and CO2 emissions. As a result there is a developing movement in the industry to reduce consumption during construction, operation and decommissioning.
