Post Venture Examination and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report Survey of a Multistory Building

Abstract

In recent years, high-rise buildings have been constructed as an urban development strategy in many megacities. High-rise buildings have positive as well as negative impacts on urban environments. Therefore, the post-project analysis and review (PPA) of environmental impact assessments (EIA) of high-rise buildings should be performed to establish strategies to ensure sustainable and resilient urban development is essential. This study involves the Post Project Analysis and Review (PPA) of the EIA report for the complex "The Centaurus". The Centaurus has been in operation for ten years, a PPA&R of impact is required, as predicted. It must be emphasized that the PPA needs to analyze the environmental factors selected in the EIA report. Furthermore, the proposed improvement measures must be implemented. A few impacts were chosen that could be easily carried out. Operational-related impacts were selected which include traffic, parking, the concentration of carbon monoxide in an enclosed parking garage, building shadow, etc. Preliminary and Secondary data were collected. Several visits were made for the collection of data through literature review, questionnaires, interviews, and Instruments while the data was analyzed by MS Excel. The study concluded that the project had been altered from its original scope and that this had caused traffic, parking problems, and carbon monoxide concentrations in parking lots.
