“…Two methodologies were used to analyze the energy savings of the mentioned devices managed by BEMS since 1979 in Tables 2-4 109 invest in BEMS to allow for large-scale applications of BEMS. Return on investment expresses the desirability of an investment in terms of the percentage of benefits when compared with the amount of the original investment outlay as shown in the following:…”

Summary This study investigates the return on investment (ROI) of building energy management system (BEMS) through reviewing research works published from 1977 to 2017. The ROI is quantitatively evaluated by payback periods of BEMS cases. The results indicated that the BEMS payback periods decreased from 5.4 to 0.7 years for commercial buildings. For compound buildings, the BEMS payback periods were shortened from 3.7 to 1.8 years. For residential or office buildings, the BEMS payback periods could not be effectively shortened. Therefore, the BEMS for the commercial and compound buildings had the better energy savings and ROI. An ROI model, based on four characteristic parameters of buildings and four major BEMS technologies, is built. The calculating results indicate that the most effective technology to increase the ROI of BEMS is the scheduling control technology developed for the heating, ventilation, air‐conditioning, and refrigeration system of buildings. The future development of BEMS should focus on (1) scheduling control, (2) collecting the managing information through Internet, and (3) combining the mobile communicating devices for interacting with the occupants in the building. Therefore, using BEMS would be a worthwhile choice for most commercial buildings.

“…This is because if continuous use of non-renewable resources will lead to exhaustion of energy sources it cannot even be replaced within a short period of time. In addition, the use of green technology can provide a better economic return to the country [2,3,4]. The introduction of green technology is the best solution in meeting the growing demand for energy in the deterioration of the environment [5,6].…”

Most methodological areas assume common serious reflections to certify difficult study and publication practices, and, therefore, approval in their area. Interestingly, relatively little attention has been paid to reviewing the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in environmental sustainability problems despite the growing number of publications in the past two decades. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to fill this gap by conducting a wide search in two main databases including Web of Science and Scopus to identify the studies which used SEM techniques in the period from 2005 to 2016. A critical analysis of these articles addresses some important key issues. On the basis of our results, we present comprehensive guidelines to help researchers avoid general pitfalls in using SEM. The results of this review are important and will help researchers to better develop research models based on SEM in the area of environmental sustainability.
