Managing green building development – A review of current state of research and future directions

Abstract

Understanding the development process of Green Buildings (GBs) is critical in realizing their uptake. An in-depth review of 77 relevant studies is conducted to identify the various paradigms of GB development research, their contributions and limitations, their overlaps, and the ways of improving these paradigms. A code developed using Boolean operators and keywords is employed to search online databases (including Scopus and Web of Science) for relevant studies available until February 2019. Six paradigms of GB development research have been identified, including: Project Delivery Attributes (PDAs), Critical Success Factors (CSFs), barriers, drivers, risks, and benefits. A framework is deve..
