“…Subsequently, the results were statistically analyzed to evaluate the data and to determine any underlying inferences based on the four given fields: QA/QC awareness; ranking of managerial purview influences on the various quality failure consequences; complexities in evaluating CoQ components; correlations between quality performance and sustainability traits. As technology advances, it may be possible to automate laborious QA/QC processes [79].…”

“…The authors plan to establish a more seamless and integrated approach to calculate the CoQ and deliver a project that covers the inception to operation simultaneously. As technology advances, it may be possible to automate laborious QA/QC processes [78], which will promote the integrated approach required for green-building project management [75,79,80]. The revelation of the embedded sustainability traits in the quality KPIs and the consequences of sustainability non-conformance can be used as an inference to rationalize high-cost overruns in green-building projects [33,34,[81][82][83][84].…”

The quality performance of a green building will have an overarching effect on its objectives because of the high compliance needed to achieve superior performance expectations. Achieving sustainability objectives is challenging and requires the collaboration of diverse professionals that resume unique responsibilities. In this study, the different managerial practitioners involved in green-building projects were investigated in terms of their awareness levels regarding the quality performance measures, their perceived abilities to influence quality failure consequences, the degree to which the cost-of-quality (CoQ) of components can be evaluated, and the effect the sustainability traits have on the quality performance. Accordingly, a survey approach was adopted, and the results were analyzed using Pearson’s chi-squared (χ2) test, the relative importance index (RII), Mann–Whitney U-Test, and Student’s T-test. According to the results, the priorities of the different managerial types and their overall impressions of cost computability were different, which needs to be considered when CoQ evaluations are done based on practitioners’ views. In addition, the sustainability traits of green buildings impact achieving quality metrics with the consequences of design rework occurring in the construction stage may lead to denouncing sustainability traits. The results of this research study reveal the need to consider the differences between managerial types when evaluating CoQ for projects and the increased sensitivity for such evaluation in a green building context. The paper contributes to underscoring the important connection between quality performance and sustainability traits of a green building project and calls for researchers to formulate methods with more rigor to reach a set structure for quality cost accounting as an industry standard. Intricate evaluation methods will enable strategic decision making on quality performance budgets to be more substantiated.

“…Kibert (2012) described GBs systems and implementation [25]. Ahn et al developed a process model that includes identifying the sustainable goals, implementation process, and roles of participating teams, including GCs, throughout the construction phase [67]. Bayraktar et al (2009) provide a set of LEED implementation guidelines for GCs and others to assist them with the certification process [68].…”

Implementing LEED v4 BD+C Projects in Vietnam: Contributions and Challenges for General Contractor

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable construction addresses both rising housing demand and the need to reduce energy consumption, but is not yet widespread in Vietnam, although the number of Green Building Certified projects has increased significantly since 2015, especially those with LEED certification. Certification adds value to the project but also incurs additional costs and implementation challenges for general contractors (GCs) and other stakeholders. The growing popularity of LEED buildings requires GCs to understand their role in fulfilling the LEED requirements. We therefore conducted a thorough review of the previous research on LEED v4 guidelines and their local equivalents to determine what is expected of GCs working on LEED v4 BD + C projects in Vietnam. A survey of 72 experts, engineers, and architects working in the construction sector identified the LEED tasks where Vietnamese GCs lack experience and suggested solutions to address this shortfall were developed. In particular, Vietnamese GCs lacked experience in implementing their sustainable roles. These results provide a useful foundation for Vietnamese GCs seeking to expand the scope of their LEED work and identified necessary training. Our findings will also guide future research to help GCs in Vietnam adapt to LEED’s sustainability requirements and support sustainable construction in Vietnam.

“…Certification systems alone cannot be enough to promote widespread development of green buildings, and it is also recommended to change energy and water consumption behaviour [5]. In successful implementation of green building methods, all stakeholders including architects, engineers, and contractors would benefit from a comprehensive framework that incorporates green building technologies and technologies during all phases of building life cycle [2]. Successful implementation of energy efficiency activities in green buildings requires involvement of many participants during different phases of building life cycle, but it is also important to implement all activities in a timely manner.…”

At present, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is one of the main environmental priorities globally, and implementation of sustainability aspects in the construction industry, including energy aspects, is of major importance for long-term environmental development, as buildings have a long life cycle and require many resources both for construction and operation periods. The aim of the research is to analyse energy aspects of green buildings. The results of research show that the construction of green buildings can significantly result in energy savings and has other benefits for different market participants. Future research directions have been identified as well.
