“…Other authors like (Li, Peng, Cai, Cao, Wang, Li and Ma 2023) have also defined minimal energy usage by buildings as a process which uses minimal energy consumption in achieving a purpose which arrives at a common purpose which could firstly be saving environmental harm to the environment and secondly a reduction in greenhouse gases emissions. According to (Lin and Zhai 2023), usage of energy by buildings arises from the buildings configurations, which include the envelopes of the, buildings occupants' and their behavior and the quality of the indoor environment. For quite a long time now, buildings have utilized and consumed 60% of global electricity according to (Zoure and Genovese 2023).…”

This study identified the factors influencing adoption, integration and use of low carbon emissivity strategies including features in office buildings which professional outfits and consultants who were responsible for conceiving the designs which involved 16 green office buildings located within Central Business District area of the FCT North Central Zone of Abuja, Nigeria. This was with a view to adopting them and making solid contributions on enhancing office user's comfort within the office buildings studied. Key factors investigated were 26 and they included nature of the client, availability of skill sets by the respective vendors and the sizes of the office buildings facilitated. A quantitative research methodology was adopted which included administration of the research instrument which had eighty professionals in construction and design responding to structured questions on their understanding of the subject matter. Data obtained from the field was analyzed descriptively using the SPSS software for analyzing data by social scientists. The statistics obtained from the field reveals that mean scores attributed to the individual factors which were 26 ranges from 2.72 and 3.76. Ranked in the order of influence of each of the 26 factors, the results further show that the three top most influential factors with mean values of 3.76, 3.60 and 3.51 were nature of the client, availability of skill in the firms to handle the design features and strategies and sizes of the buildings in the selected office buildings. Further analyzing the data indicates a majority of the 26 factors investigated had influence on applications of these low carbon emissivity reducing products in the buildings investigated in the research. It is believed that understanding these factors will contribute towards adopting more of these carbon emissivity reducing products in future office construction projects within the city of Abuja thereby enhancing further mitigation of the effects of the further release of the harmful carbon elements by the constructed offices into the cities landscape. That way, climate change and its effects on the built environment will be further understood in the context of the research thereby enhancing office buildings users' comfort.

The Effects of International Orientation on the Dimensions of the Environmental Performance of Agri‐Food Companies: A Chilean Perspective

Like other Latin American economies, Chile has significantly increased its presence in international agriculture markets. Agricultural commodities are primarily developed within specialized exporters or multinational enterprises and exported to several different countries. In Chile, the fruit sector accounts for almost half of total exports. Internationally oriented companies explore business opportunities in foreign markets and invest adequate resources in international operations. In addition, more internationally oriented companies could be more inclined to invest in green practices due to external pressures and, consequently, achieve higher environmental performance. In this context, environmental performance is related to the extent to which available natural resources are protected during the production, delivery, and consumption of agricultural products. To the best of our knowledge, there is scattered evidence of the relationship between international orientation and the environmental performance of agri‐food companies, especially in Latin America. Grounded on the natural resources‐based view theory, this study assessed the effects of environmental collaboration on five dimensions of environmental performance (greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, food loss and waste, food quality and safety, and water footprint management) in agri‐food companies with a survey with Chilean firms. Data were analyzed using the partial least square—structural equation modeling. We found that international orientation positively influences all five dimensions of environmental performance. Our study identified that the dimension most impacted by international orientation is water footprint management, and the least impacted is food quality and safety. With the aid of multi‐group analysis, we concluded that there are no significant differences in these relationships between micro/small and medium/large companies. A significant difference was observed in food loss and waste between fruit and nonfruit producers. We expect the outcomes of this study will support exporting‐related decisions and public policies in Latin America.
