“…A single project can be decomposed into multiple unit projects, such as civil engineering water and electricity installation engineering [16]. Each unit project is further decomposed into several subprojects, such as civil engineering, which can be divided into basic engineering, main engineering, roofing engineering, and decoration engineering [17]. Sub-projects can be subdivided into sub-projects, such as foundation projects, which can be divided into earthwork excavation, foundation treatment and testing, concrete foundation, and other sub-projects.…”

In order to meet the development needs of the construction engineering industry and further optimize and improve the talent training mode, this paper studies the talent training model of high-rise construction project management under the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. The cognitive ability model of management talent is constructed, and the learning ability of management talent is analyzed. With the optimization objectives of minimizing the construction period, minimizing the project cost, and maximizing the benefit of skill growth in high-rise building projects, and taking the conditions of average proficiency and average duration of construction as constraints, the mixed immune genetic algorithm with the introduction of the double-island model is adopted to carry out multi-objective evolution of management talent training, so as to obtain the best training scheme for management talent in highrise building projects. The experimental results show that after the optimization of this model, the skill proficiency of project management personnel can be effectively improved, construction time can be effectively reduced, construction efficiency can be improved, and construction costs can be improved.

“…Moreover, the introduction of green building certification systems into the construction industry was cooperatively welcomed as part of the growing acceptance of the global sustainability approach (Blackburne et al , 2022). However, over the past few years, concerns regarding how effective green building certification systems are in addressing sustainability have been forthcoming (Scofield, 2013a; Scofield, 2013b; van der Heijden, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the green building certification systems. In doing so, a validation process, using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), was undertaken. Design/methodology/approach An extensive literature review was conducted to highlight the paramount aspects of green building certification systems. Then, using a grounded theory, key findings of the initial literature review were explored. This was necessary to form a broad theoretical framework. Finally, CFA was performed to evaluate various green building certification systems. Findings Initially, it was noted that accreditation process was the central key for effective building certification systems, particularly at the international level. Further, using CFA, it was also determined that to increase the sustainable performance of the green building certification, meeting the increasing expectation of the system user is paramount. Practical implications When evaluating the green building certification systems, it is recommended to focus on a specific aspect of the programmes holistically. This needs to be done particularly towards delivering a clear message to the stakeholders globally; doing so may alleviate the many challenges of green building certifications. Originality/value Currently, various green building certification systems have been developed for local purposes. This raises the question of the adaptability of these systems across varying climates and geography in differing regions. Using CFA, this research will examine various green building certification systems to evaluate their applicability at a global level.

“…These elements may include site impacts, energy and water use, materials and resource conservation and indoor environmental quality (Eckelman et al, 2018;De Luca et al, 2021). It has been proven on many occasions that the construction of green buildings reduces carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 40%, compared to the amount that is emitted by producing a standard conventional build (Lukman et al, 2019;Blackburne et al, 2022b).…”

PurposeGreen building, which is also commonly referred to as sustainable building, is focused on the processes implemented that are environmentally efficient and responsible throughout the life cycle of the building. This accounts for the time of manufacturing of materials, to the erection of these materials, on-site, to the operation of the building and how these efficient materials assist in the operation and running of the building daily, all the way through to the demolition. There are many aspects of the building process that can be switched to green. For the construction industry, the change to green design although the complex is nonetheless necessary. This study thus aims to focus on supporting the knowledge surrounding green buildings in high-rise construction. This research will undertake a comparative analysis and review of one case study in Melbourne, Australia.Design/methodology/approachThe direction of this study commences with an introductory section on what it means to build green. This section is further brokendown to evaluate what factors are involved in constructing a green building. The work then shifts towards the green building from a sustainability point of view, touching base with the level of awareness that is surrounding the green building and the level of ignorance that goes with this. Furthermore, the research includes specific pointers which are strategically placed to directly grab the attention of those who lack knowledge in the area of green building by offering a brief, yet in-depth, discussion of possible materials that can be incorporated in the construction phase and will, in turn, create for a more efficient building. As such, life cycle energy is then introduced and calculations are carried out. These calculations offer a more logical form of validation to the previous points and issues raised, with the hope to achieve a more in-depth grasp of the process involved with green building.FindingsThrough comprehensive research, this paper has found the following outcomes. (1) A detailed insight into the contributing factors to green building in high-rise construction and the construction industry in general. (2) An increased understanding of the current status of green buildings within the construction industry. (3) The creation of an effective research methodology plan to implement throughout this research. The appropriate steps and measures, that were required to deliver a successful research piece, included all relevant information. (4) The level of involvement required when calculating the energy levels, including how to perform these calculations when given the correct data, and what these calculations mean concerning what they are defining.Originality/valueThe potential contribution that can be gained from this research is the awareness that is raised in the research and development of green buildings in high-rise construction. This can be achieved by the use of certain materials such as new energy-efficient building materials, recycled materials, etc. Through the incorporation of certain green building methods, an opportunity for cost savings becomes an incentive for the client and builder as the chance for a larger profit margin becomes readily available. In addition to these issues that are anticipated for the potential contribution through this research, the sustainability aspects are also expected to prevail as the construction industry is likely to evolve with changing standards and expectations due to the publicity high-rise buildings achieve, it is more than likely that this research discussion will be adopted willingly and positively promoted for all those involved within the construction industry to get involved. The intention remains that this research paper will be able to contribute a new way of thinking and a new approach to the way of building in the 21st century. As this would be the ideal outcome, the aim remains to portray and deliver information surrounding the views that remain for and against the implementation of green buildings in high-rise construction.
