“…will not be an issue if client is willing to fork out extra money on green building to benefit the industry in terms of its long-term cost saving. Capital increase in construction in commercial buildings and larger residential sector is not caused by green building rating tools [16]. Green building construction implementation has more benefits in the long run despite of high initial cost [17].…”

The current research shows that green building received inadequate support from industry parties due to its high up-front cost. There are no existing guidelines focussing on how to minimize the issues of high up-front cost and for that reason, not all clients willing to get involved in green building construction. Hence, to increase their interest in investing in the green building, this research aims at formulating an economic model of green building construction using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The objectives of this research are to identify the green buildings elements, examine the most expensive elements, recommend the strategies in minimizing the cost of green building construction and to formulate and validate an economic model of green building construction. The model is one of the strategies to minimize the total cost, increase the client’s interest to invest in green building as well as facilitate construction stakeholders from inception to completion stage; in line with the Twelve Malaysia Plan “Economic Empowerment and Environmental Sustainability”.

The concept of green architecture, also known as "sustainable development" or "green building," is the theory, science, and style of buildings designed and built based on environmentally friendly principles. Green architecture seeks to minimize the number of resources used in the construction, operation, and management of the building and limit the damage caused to the environment by spreading, pollution, and waste of building components. New water and materials are used to design, build, operate and conserve building energy and generate large amounts of waste that negatively affect health and the environment. To limit these effects and design environmentally sound and resource-efficient buildings, the concept of "green building systems" needs to be introduced, clarified and understood, and practiced. One of the solutions is to use green building methods in the construction industry in today's world. Demand for sustainability as a definitive solution to all environmental challenges Inspired by this research to emphasize the priority of increasing sustainable environmental productivity to reduce carbon emissions to discuss and demonstrate sustainable buildings in Iran (new and existing) and Presenting the principles of energy audit used in them and their performance toward standards. Meanwhile, Iran is ranked as one of the good countries in building growth and green energy in the Middle East and other countries, according to the US Green Building Council's ranking of energy consumption, renewable energy, and recycled materials in 2015-2016.

“…However, the NZ Building Code is behind the international standards for comparable climate [125,126]. Consequently, the costs over the whole life cycle of the houses built to the minimum legal standards are much higher than by houses built to a higher standard [127]. Therefore, CIDNZ advocates for code changes to promote better results.…”

Many New Zealand houses are energy-inefficient, unhealthy, cold, mouldy, and damp. Therefore, a new approach to building design is imminent. This article proposes a framework for the transformation of housing that integrates construction planning and design, optimization, and control tools at strategic, tactical, and operational levels. The introduced Complex Integral Design New Zealand (CIDNZ) represents a comprehensive and balanced system-based design and delivery process that facilitates and accelerates cross-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary expertise and knowledge. CIDNZ delineates a new way of designing the process based on integral, complex, and systems thinking. The emerging novel understanding of sustainability, which guides the transformation process, might lead to a balance between individuals, groups, society, and existing ecosystems. CIDNZ comprises all stages in the life cycle of buildings and all significant factors in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, particularly, people, processes, technology, and the environment. Therefore, the entire construction process that implements a system approach to buildings as a vital part of environmental systems, goes from the environment to humans and vice versa and offers unlimited possibilities. The consequent practical application of these principles might eliminate or reduce the design defects and lead accordingly to the reduction of costs involved in their rectification.
