“…Various stakeholders involved in the construction industry attach considerable importance to sustainability policies. Xue et al [ 135 ] pointed out that environmental policies have noteworthy direct effects on developers to promote offsite construction, suggesting the necessity of taking the impact of sustainability policies into consideration. Jiang et al [ 136 ] found that prefabricated manufacturers gave the highest ratings to sustainability.…”

By adopting the concept of ‘factory assembly followed by onsite installation,’ construction industrialisation (CI) plays an increasingly important role in sustainable urban development. CI can enhance construction quality and efficiency while reducing environmental impacts. To promote the CI, several policy interventions have been developed and implemented in different countries and regions. This study reviews the global CI promoting regulations and policies to provide a comprehensive insight into its interrelationship and development tendency. The research selects 105 publications related to practical CI policy from widely utilised databases (i.e., Web of Science and Scopus). Based on the annual publication trend analysis, geospatial distribution, and citation analysis, seven interrelated critical CI policy formulation themes are identified and examined: regulatory policies, standardised policies, promotional policies, urban design and planning policies, technological policies, managerial and educational policies, and sustainability policies. In addition, internal correlations and mutual influence among these seven classified policies are explored and discussed, which helps scholars enhance their grasp of current CI policy research and guide future research. This review provides the research community and industrial practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of various CI-promoting policies and a roadmap to CI-promoting policy development and evaluation.

“…Policy instruments can also be divided into three policy types: supply-side, demand-side, and environmental-side (Wang and Zou, 2018;Xue et al, 2021). In the field of carbon emissions, supply-side policies frequently used by the government include establishing uniform supply standards, increasing training for workers and investing in establishing information platforms.…”

“…However, due to market share and technical integration, OSC is currently not widely used. In China, the gross floor area of projects adopting OSC in 2020 is only 630 million square meters, accounting for only 20.5% of annual new buildings (Xue et al, 2021). In order to achieve the carbon neutrality goal, the Chinese government needs to promote the widespread use of OSC through effective policies (Luo et al, 2021).…”

“…The result illustrated that environmental policies perform a more significant promotion effect on the implementation of OSC, while supply-side and demand-side policies have no direct effect on the implementation of OSC by developers. Hence, the government should optimize the policy system and implement a combination of mandatory policies and market-based instruments (Xue et al, 2021;Hussain and Lee, 2022).…”

The carbon-intensive economy has dramatically caused global climate changes and profoundly impacted humankind. As one of the largest energy consumers, carbon emissions in the construction industry (CECI) play a crucial role in achieving the carbon neutrality goal. Government behaviors could significantly affect CECI. However, few studies have comprehensively reviewed existing literature regarding the effect of government instruments on triggering carbon reduction. A total of 1,082 papers about CECI from 51 countries/regions were retrieved in this study, while 296 relevant articles on the government behaviors in CECI were collected to conduct further analysis. Based on the bibliometric analysis with CiteSpace, the co-occurrence networks of countries/regions, institutions, keywords and cluster analysis are applied to illustrate the characteristics of previous studies. Furthermore, a research framework has been formulated to review the impact of government behaviors on CECI during the life cycle of buildings. The result indicated that government behaviors could affect CECI through three stages, i.e., material production, construction and operation, which is considered the transmission path of government behaviors towards CECI. Moreover, the findings revealed that government behaviors present the most significant impact on CECI in the following sectors: 1) the green supply chain management and waste recycling in the material production stage; 2) the green building decisions and the adoption of off-site construction in the construction stage; 3) energy conservation behaviors and green retrofit decisions in the operation stage. Finally, this study discusses prior study gaps and provides potential directions for future research.

“…In addition, standards and norms have been introduced to promote the implementation of prefabricated construction. They have been shown to play an important role in safeguarding the development of prefabrication in China (19). According to officially released data, a total of 630 million square meters of prefabricated buildings were built in 2020, which accounted for 20.5% of all newly built buildings (20).…”

Adoption of prefabrication is essential for improving the urban built environment. However, the existing prefabrication market in China is far from mature. As the stakeholder who conducts construction activities, the contractor is facing a dilemma of lacking steady prefabricated components supply. In this circumstance, a potential solution is that contractors open their own prefabrication factories to guarantee stable component supply. The aim of this research is exploring the key factors for contractors to open prefabrication factories. Firstly, a total of 28 influencing factors were identified from literature. Then, the identified factors were divided into four categories: policy environment, market environment, technological environment, and enterprise internal environment. Through interviews with experienced professionals, a total of 19 factors were selected for future analysis. Based on the 19 factors, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to the experts to rate the degree of mutual influences. The collected data were analyzed using Ucinet6.0 software, and the adjacency matrix and the visual models were established. Finally, through the analysis of node centrality, betweenness centrality, and closeness centrality, the four key influencing factors were determined including mandatory implementation policy, precast concrete component's price, market demand, and contractor's strategic objectives. The results of this study could assist contractors in making decisions of opening their own prefabrication factories toward more sustainable environment.
