“…A variety of assessment tools were used to assess the building design performance. As these tools were applied and used in diferent countries to meet their local requirements, some of them are not applicable in their original forms for achieving best practices in other regions [21][22][23]. Due to the importance of environmental sustainability in construction projects, environmental assessment procedures have been developed worldwide since the frst attempt by the UK building research establishment environmental assessment method (BREEAM) in 1990 [16,24].…”

“…Te following theoretical and practical gaps still exist to assess the GB design in the existing assessment tools [21]. Te gaps in available tools are (i) dimensionality of performance value drivers, (ii) no consideration of the risks impacting value creation, and (iii) no integration between the value creation drivers and the associated risk factors.…”

Green buildings are predestined for the sustainability of arid regions. Presently, professionals working on building construction projects have no assessment tool that integrates value creation and associated risks in the development phase to enhance the value created by green buildings. The present study developed and tested a value creation assessment tool to evaluate the total added value and associated risks that can impact the created value by green building design. The tool consisting of 51 performance value drivers and 35 risk factors was tested on three different buildings in Saudi Arabia. Using a questionnaire survey, each of these projects was scored by its value engineering team and weighted mean scores (Wms) as percentages were calculated. The study revealed that the environmental driver was given less importance in the design process with Wms of less than 60% for all three types of buildings, while the functional driver was given higher importance with Wms of 80% or more. All the buildings showed moderate financial risks ranging between 40 and 50% and a higher potential of management risks with scores around 60% or higher. A wide variation between 20 and 60% was observed for operational risks. The study also found that large-scale buildings are less threatened by financial risks. The developed tool will facilitate the stakeholders and designers in identifying project development contextual issues and provide opportunities to optimise the design and operations to enhance performance efficiency and obtain more value from investment in GB assets during the early stages of development in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.

“…Given that it accounts for a disproportionately large share of total carbon emissions, reducing emissions in the building sector is an important way to achieve an overall reduction and realize green development [ 6 – 8 ]. Reducing energy consumption in the building sector can mitigate the negative impacts of building stock on the economic, social and natural environments [ 1 , 9 ] and is key to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement [ 10 ]. Recognizing the challenge of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector, the development of green buildings is an important way to achieve green development in the building sector [ 11 ].…”

“…Many mitigation strategies have been adopted to cope with the adverse effects of climate change. The construction industry has been criticized for contributing to high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions [1][2][3].According to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) greenhouse gases from building activities account for approximately 27% of global carbon emissions [4]. It is estimated that by 2035, global carbon dioxide emissions from buildings will increase to 42.4 billion tons [5].…”

Carbon emissions have become a global challenge, and China, as the world’s largest developing country, has a serious emissions problem. Developing green buildings is an important way of reducing carbon emissions. China’s low-carbon city pilot policy may be an effective way of promoting green building development and reducing these emissions. This study uses the low carbon city pilot policy as a quasi-natural experiment and employs the staggered difference-in-differences method to investigate its impact on green building development. The results show that the low-carbon city pilot policy promotes green building development, and this policy promotes it by enhancing regional green innovation capacity, improving green total factor productivity at the firm and regional levels, and reducing the financing constraints of firms in the construction and real estate sectors. In addition, the promotion effect of the policy on green building development is stronger in western and non-resource-based regions and large-scale cities in China. This study contributes to the literature related to environmental policy, green building, and carbon emissions and supports the promotion of green building development and the reduction of carbon emissions.

“…Photovoltaics should represent one of the leading technologies driving the transition process thanks to the abundance and wide distribution of solar energy. To accomplish this goal, it is necessary to make buildings self-sufficient from an energy point of view through the development of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) [1][2][3][4].…”

Exploring Different Designs in Thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-Based Dyes to Enhance Divergent Optical Properties in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Two novel organic sensitizers for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC), called TP1 and TP2, based on the electron-poor thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine (TPz) π-bridge and the electron-rich N,N-bis(4-(hexylthio)phenyl)aniline (TPA) were designed following two different approaches: the classical D-A-π-A design and a symmetric structure with double anchoring functions. Both compounds were prepared exploiting short synthetic pathways based on direct arylation strategies and possibly one-pot desymmetrization. The two novel dyes displayed opposite optical properties: a broad and intense light absorption over the entire visible spectrum for TP1, and a localized absorption that peaked in the center of the visible region for TP2, resulting in a pitch-dark coloration and a green tone, respectively. When assembling the photovoltaic devices, different electrolyte compositions were explored to enhance the optical properties of the dyes. Power conversion efficiencies as high as 5.2% under full sun intensity were recorded for small test devices. The composition of the light transmitted through the TP2-containing transparent DSSC fits well with the human eye sensitivity spectrum, thus fulfilling the transparency requirements for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
