Abstract:
Purpose In Sri Lanka, a limited number of buildings have been certified for incorporation of green features and the reasons are attributed to green building investors who continue to perceive that green buildings are expensive. Further, the green building investors fail to appreciate the subsequent benefits received by those buildings during the operational phase. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to compare the life cycle cost (LCC) of green certified industrial manufacturing buildings with a similar form of the conventional buildings to establish the economic sustainability of green buildings. Design/methodology/approach The study involved a comparative case study analysis of two green buildings and a similar natured conventional building. The data required to perform the LCC analysis were extracted through documentary analysis. Findings The comparative analysis shows that the construction cost of a green industrial manufacturing building is 37 per cent higher than that of a similar natured conventional building while operation, maintenance and the end life cost of green buildings result in 28, 22 and 11 per cent savings, respectively. This results in an overall cost saving of 21 per cent in green buildings. Originality/value The current study provides an assessment of the total LCC of green industrial manufacturing buildings. In Sri Lanka, green industrial manufacturing buildings offer LCC saving of 21 per cent over its lifetime compared to similar natured conventional buildings. Thus, comparative analyses would enable green investors to make informed decisions before commissioning their investment in green facilities and thereby promote sustainable construction in Sri Lanka.

Abstract:
This study presents a detailed comparison of energy consumption between green and conventional commercial buildings by analyzing actual energy usage against benchmarks derived using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Building Energy Intensity (BEI). MLR, selected for its statistical robustness and ease of implementation, incorporates variables such as Cooling Degree Days (CDD), temperature, humidity, rainfall intensity, wind speed, and number of working days as independent factors. The study evaluates energy consumption across 20 office buildings in Klang Valley, Malaysia, from 2019 to 2023. The findings indicate that both green and conventional buildings generally consumed less energy than their benchmarks. In terms of the difference between actual energy consumption and the benchmarks; green buildings recorded a narrower gap (26.49%) than conventional buildings (34.99%). However, green buildings consistently achieved superior energy efficiency, with BEI values ranging from 110 to 150, compared to 170 to 220 for conventional buildings. A notable reduction in energy usage occurred from 2020 to 2021 due to COVID-19-related remote work environment, though BEI slightly increased in 2023 with the normalization of operations. Energy label ratings further highlighted green buildings' superior performance, with 42% achieving a 4-star rating, while 80% of conventional buildings received only 2-star ratings. The results emphasize the importance of green building practices, demonstrating their long-term benefits in reducing energy consumption and achieving higher energy efficiency for sustainable living. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers, developers, and stakeholders, underscoring the need for sustained efforts in energy saving and innovation to enhance building energy performance.

Abstract:
Different mitigation measures with vegetation have been proposed to sustainably manage rainwater, among which green roofs have demonstrated to be a valid solution in urbanized areas. Green roofs have gained interest also in Italy, but their spreading is generally based on application of ready-to-use packages, poorly tested in the specific climate conditions. A study was carried out to evaluate the green roof solution most suitable in the humid, subtropical climate context of Veneto Plain (north-eastern Italy) to reduce outflow volumes from building roofs into the urban drainage systems. Twelve different microcosm combinations of extensive green roof (three plant mixtures × two substrates × two storage/drainage layers) were tested and compared with gravel (considered as a conventional flat roof with gravel ballast). The tested drainage/storage layers were a preformed layer in recycled HDPE (PL) and an expanded perlite mineral layer (ML), and the growth medium layers were recycled brick substrate (RS) and volcanic substrate (VS). Three different mixtures of native plant species were transplanted: Sedum (SE), herbaceous perennial (HE), and suffruticose (SF). Results showed that all the green roof systems have a good ability to manage rainwater, with a retention ranging on average from 46.2% (SE-RS-PL microcosms) to 62.9% (SF-RS-ML microcosms) of the precipitation in the two-year period (September 2014–August 2016), against 15.4%, retained by gravel. Over the two-year period, the retained rainfall volumes were about 100% for all the light rainy events (<10 mm) and varied within a range of 48–95% for medium rainy events (≥10 and <25 mm) and 20–88% for heavy rainy events (≥25 mm), depending on rainfall depth and the antecedent weather period. The layer that gave the highest relative contribution to the stormwater retention was the vegetation layer, followed by the drainage/storage layers and then the substrate layer. In particular, SF plants decreased the outflows by 15.2% on average compared to SE, and ML layer retained more than 10% of precipitation compared to PL layer. At last, the analysis of variance showed that, within each layer, the more effective in water retention, able to generate less outflow volumes, was similarly suffruticose and herbaceous mixtures, the crushed bricks substrate, and the mineral drainage/storage layer.

Abstract:
This report investigates the comparative costs and benefits of green building versus conventional building practices. By integrating five advanced techniques: Biophilic Design, Passive House Design Strategies, Digital Twin Technology, Net Zero Energy Techniques, and Water Harvesting System into the construction of a conventional building, we transformed it into a green building at an additional cost of approximately ₹6,72,420. The total cost for constructing the green building amounted to ₹24,23,876.78, inclusive of the base cost of a conventional building. The study outlines a comprehensive methodological approach, which includes creating theoretical models, conducting cost analyses using current market rates in India, and evaluating environmental impacts through carbon emissions calculations. The findings reveal that although the initial costs for green buildings are higher, they offer substantial long-term benefits, including reduced operational expenses, improved occupant health, and minimized environmental footprints. Green buildings are designed to maximize resource efficiency, enhance indoor air quality, and utilize renewable energy sources, resulting in significant energy savings and reduced carbon emissions. This investment in sustainable construction practices not only promotes environmental stewardship but also ensures economic viability through long-term savings and improved occupant well-being. The transition to green buildings is a crucial step towards addressing climate change and fostering sustainable development for future generations. This report underscores the importance of adopting green building techniques and demonstrates that the benefits far outweigh the initial financial outlay, making green buildings a worthwhile investment for a sustainable future.

Abstract:
A green building uses less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste and is healthier for the people living inside than a standard building. There is a rapidly expanding market for green building materials. Green buildings provide a suitable environment by controlling solar radiation temperature,  energy efficiency, water conservation using domestic treatment plants and indoor air quality. The main aim of green buildings is to reduce the environmental impact of new buildings. Sustainability in the environment can be well achieved by reducing the energy emission and consumption by the buildings. Sustainability means using energy efficiently. Green Building refers to a  structure that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life cycle. The aim of this project is to conduct a comparative study on conventional and green residential buildings. Data regarding temperature details are represented in energy simulation software - Energy 2D. A survey of various green building rating systems is to be conducted. The rate of water consumption, electricity consumption, and waste generated in the selected building were collected for grading the building using LEED certification. A model showing all elements of a green building such as rainwater harvesting plant, biogas plant,  grey water filter, and cooling.

Abstract:
Abstract Green Building concept is an environmental building practice followed by the construction engineers since the years 2000s. Green building concept is the imperative of time with respect to economic, social and environment aspects. Green building techniques can mainly classify under six categories, waste management, water efficiency, energy efficiency, location, configuration and green materials, where under each technique countless solutions can be developed based on the requirements and the proposed project. Hence, this paper targets to redesign Barka Marina Mall, Oman as a green building considering building configuration, renewable energy and green materials, with the help of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology and Photovoltaic System software as simulation tools. Aim of the present study is to redesign the Barka Marina Mall, Oman as a green building by considering the building configuration, renewable energy and green materials, with the help of BIM and Photovoltaic System software and compared the results with the conventional building. The criteria considered for the comparative analysis are, annual carbon emission, annual energy use, monthly fuel consumption and monthly energy consumption between the conventional and the green building. Based on the comparative study it is noticed that applying the green building concept has a great potential to save the nation’s resources and the environment by reducing the consumption as well as the cost.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the effects of environmental and economic disasters on green bond funds and conventional bond funds during the years 2016-2020. The research emphasizes how a saver could act when comparing green bond funds and conventional bond funds for investing purposes. Based on previous research, there are indications that green bonds and conventional bonds differ in pricing despite having the same economic quality. This research investigates bond funds rather than singular bonds. The tests in this study are quantitative based on hypothetico-deductive approach. Based on hypothesis testing through the Mann-Whitney-U test, green bond funds and conventional bond funds act similarly during events of stress, and there is no statistically significant evidence which proves that investing solely in either of the two groups is better than the other. In accordance to the Efficient Market Hypothesis, this thesis suggests that the bond funds act similarly because in essence they are the same financial instrument and act according to their ratings and qualities. From a saver’s perspective, it is therefore better to look at the quality and rating of a fund rather than what category of fund it is.

Abstract:
Resources like water and electricity are limited and the usage of these resources are increasing along with the city’s development. Information released by different environmental organizations suggests that the consumption of these limited resources by a conventional building is huge. Green building plays an important role in improving this situation. This dissertation first finds out the energy usage of conventional buildings from different environmental organizations and different scholars/ professionals through literature reviews. The goal of this research is to find out 1) the feasibility of turning a conventional building into a green building in Hong Kong; 2) owners’ knowledge of green building; 3) if financial factors affect owners’ decision to turn their conventional buildings into green buildings. Through literature review, we found out the reasons why people prefer/do not prefer green buildings. We also found out how government policies affect consumers’ and enterprises’ behavior. By conducting a survey, we know more about the owners’ understanding of green building, the important factors of green building among the interviewees, the attractive incentives/ benefits that trigger the owners’ decision to go green, the barriers that deters the owners from going green and the most attractive incentives/ benefits of green building proposed by the Management Company/ Incorporated Owners. Through data analysis of the questionnaire conducted, we found that the understanding of green building among the interviewees is good. The interviewees could define most of the green building characteristics but not “Regular inspection, maintenance and repair of the building” and “Ensure satisfactory quality of drinking water”. We also found that financial factors could trigger the owners to turn their buildings into green buildings. The most attractive financial factors are “Reduce bill in your own unit”, “Better selling price of your flat” and “Better rental price”. Likewise, when Management Company/ Incorporated Owners propose to turn the owners’ buildings into green buildings, “Financial aspect like saving energy cost” is the one advantage rated the most “Most attractive”. At the end of the dissertation, we discuss the implications of the study like the interviewees’ energy saving concerns, rising health awareness among the interviewees and the effects of financial incentives on owners’ behavior.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Housing Management<br>Master<br>Master of Housing Management

Abstract:
Abstract The building sector has a key role in the urban transition since changing from a conventional building stock to a green one is critical for the reduction of emissions. Currently, there is a noticeable difference in costs between conventional and green buildings that is eventually reflected in the final price, this gap can be interpreted as the costs of urban transition in the building sector. This difference in costs can be assumed either by the private sector, the government, or a combination of both. This article explores the most important factors that define the distribution of green-certified buildings as a proxy for urban transition at the neighbourhood level in a context where most green buildings are developed by private investors and where these practices are mainly concentrated in the centric and wealthiest neighbourhoods. To achieve this, the paper uses a case study of the city of Boston, where there is a high density of green-certified buildings. The article proves the pertinence of using LEED-certified buildings as a proxy to estimate the costs of urban transition and how their variables influence the final price, identifies the main factors that define the distribution of LEED-certified buildings in Boston’s neighbourhoods and finally presents a first approximation to estimate the risk of green gentrification at the neighbourhood level. The paper expects to provide arguments to policymakers to invest and stimulate the presence of green-certified public buildings and housing in vulnerable neighbourhoods to achieve a more egalitarian urban transition and reduce the risk of green gentrification.

Abstract:
AbstractPhotocatalysis in building envelopes can reduce air pollution, further providing surfaces with antimicrobial and self-cleaning effects. However, conventional photocatalysts have drawbacks, like environmentally unfriendly industrial production processes, UV-restricted light absorption, and human health concerns. So, this chapter reviewed photocatalysts synthesized following a green route in several research fields, relying on the wide availability of sea waste. The final goal was to assess if the construction sector already encompasses the topic and provide experimental paths to preserve renders with marine-based photocatalysts and enhance their resilience under climate change. The final sample had 64 papers, in which algae, shells, fish waste, and other marine materials were bio-sources. Indoor air pollution was the closest topic to buildings, addressed by three papers but without direct applications, and no papers have tested bio-photocatalysts in façades. Titanium, zinc, and silver were the most common metals combined with the biomaterials. A lack of toxicity and life cycle assessments prevented a comprehensive environmental discussion.

Abstract:
Abstract As a critical element in urban sustainability efforts, green roofs (GRs) can reduce building energy use and enhance ecological performance via additional growing medium and plant layers. However, the extra building components result in increased load and structural thickness as well as construction complexity. This paper proposes a design-fabrication method for a thin-vaulted green roof prototype with a compressive-only surface and upstand ribs along unevenly distributed stress lines for a lightweight and material-efficient structure. The structural efficiency of the proposed roof has been proven high compared to conventional flat roof through simulation. To realize such a non-standard and multifunctional structure, a hybrid formwork system is presented to deal with geometric complexity and functional integration by treating stay-in-place formwork as a function part. In particular, 3D clay printing (3DCP) is selected as eco-friendly formwork staying in the GRs to integrate with plant growth substrate, leading to a more simplified and sustainable fabrication. An empirical construction experiment is conducted to validate the proposed method on a 1:5 scale.

The automation and innovation have impacted Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry, particularly when transitioning from traditional or conventional methods of construction to modular or Industrialized Building System (IBS). Thus, to ameliorate the processes surrounding built environment, researchers have been interested in the BIM’s integration into construction industry. To ensure BIM’s adoption and integration into construction supply chain, supply chain’s management and procurement, we need to have an extensive comprehensive research base regarding global outlook of BIM’s relation with supply chain. The purpose of this study is to identify global scientific research patterns and trends related to BIM’s role in supply chain, by performing scientometric analysis. The scientometric analysis will help us analyze the work being done in this field and whether a significant literature exists that supports or helps in adoption of this idea. Most of the already existing research on BIM is performed on various other aspects of BIM like infrastructure sustainability, green buildings, design, framework, management of facilities and other BIM related managerial aspects. Thus, it is highly imperative to systematize and analyze the existing global scientific literature research to identify the global trends and frontiers on current BIM’s relation with construction supply chain.

Abstract:
AbstractWater emergency is one of the terrible effects of climate change; it is defined as the Blue gold of twenty-first century. In this scenario, fog stands as a potential alternative water resource. Many territories are affected by fog phenomenon; here fog collectors have been developed to extract water from humid mass of air. The aim of this paper is to explore the application of this technology in building sector. The Large Fog Collector is the device commonly used for these projects; it is a textile structure, composed of a mesh, two poles and cables. The exploitation of conventional water resources implies a massive distribution system with significant energy consumption and costs. Otherwise, fog harvesting is a passive system; it relieves the stress upon freshwater resources. Nowadays, fog collectors are low tech devices, and fog harvesting projects are commonly developed in arid areas for agricultural and reforestation purposes. Nevertheless, taking advantage of the vertical development of the device, this textile structure shall be integrated in façade, to promote resilient constructions and make buildings water self-sufficient. The paper explores the design criteria for the development of a novel concept of smart water collecting façade. It can promote also shading effect, reducing the use of cooling system, energy demand, so lowering the ecological footprint. Depending on fog Liquid Water Content, the collected water can be used for the irrigation of green roofs, gardens or in an optimal scenario also for domestic use. The analysis of local weather data is crucial to extend the territories where this system can be applied; but, more important, the improvement of the device’s technology is essential to implement it in new application fields.

Abstract:
Abstract Due to the threat of Global warming, and the steady increase of the cost of energy, particularly electricity, so called "Cool Roof Coatings" or CRC’s, have received a lot of high profile press in industry magazines due to their ability to drop surface temperature of roof structures during the summer months. Indeed, the City of New York has a multi-million dollar plan to coat many roof structures with ceramic filled reflective coatings which has proven (at first application) to be effective at reducing surface temperature of the roof, and then, in theory, reduce the radiant heat imparted to the building, and consequently the amount of energy required to cool the building. Thermal Insulation Coatings are different. Thermal Insulation Coatings or (TIC’s) have a much broader range of use, and do not simply reflect the sun's energy, but can actually reduce temperature across the medium in either direction. That is, they can actually do what a CRC can do, but also can keep heat in, like an insulation. These applications include uses in marine, automotive, industrial and commercial fields. This new acceptance of TICs is quick to attract aspirant type products that can be easily confused with other types of reflective (solar reflective) coatings and therefore can discount true thermal insulation coatings. A true insulation coating material can insulate substrates from thermal transfer (and offer sound attenuation) in the same manner as conventional insulation, but with many more clear benefits than conventional insulation. This article of will compare and contrast insulation coatings vs. reflective coatings insulative coatings, and provide specific examples of applications which improve performance or reduce consumption of energy.

Abstract:
The green wall concept has been introduced as one of the solutions to reduce energy demand for ventilation requirements while improving the natural vegetation in dense urban areas. Past studies revealed that the energy-saving of green walls can vary substantially, from 35% to 90% across countries such as United Kingdom (UK), Canada, Russia, Greece, China, Saudi Arabia, India, and Brazil. Given these differences in energy saving of green walls due to climatic conditions and other reasons, direct application of such findings to the Sri Lankan context is questionable. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the thermal performance of green wall applications in Sri Lanka through a case study analysis of an indirect green façade with a comparative conventional wall. The required data were extracted through on-site temperature measurements from different points of both the exterior and interior wall surfaces of each building in different time intervals per day for a period of fourteen days spanning from October to November. The analysis shows that the green walls contribute to 21% - 36% of temperature difference compared to the conventional wall. Eventually, this results in 0.06 kWh of energy-saving per m2 of wall area, and thereby green walls contribute to the 80% energy saving for ventilation requirements. Hence, the study recommends that the use of green walls can be considered as one of the energy efficiency solutions while improving natural vegetation in tropical climatic cities and absorbing other benefits of green walls.

Abstract:
The construction industry plays a significant role in the economic growth of a country. Nevertheless, the construction industry has created severe adverse environmental impacts. Therefore, green building technologies are implemented to alleviate the adverse effects of the construction industry. Using green materials instead of conventional building materials with high environmental impacts has been identified as one such implementation. However, there seems to be much confusion in defining green building materials. Hence, it is vital to explore the features of green building materials. Therefore, this article investigates green features that qualify the building materials as green building materials. A qualitative research approach was selected as the research methodology, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven green building experts. The data was analysed using content analysis. Findings revealed that recycled content, local availability of materials, embodied energy of materials, use of rapidly renewable material, usage of waste material for the production process, material wastage content in the production process and pollution prevention in the production process are the green features. The study results guide the identification of green building materials that can replace the materials with poor environmental sustainability.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to summarize knowledge of green technologies and their applications in buildings, as well as high performance green buildings. Two alternatives of family house design are performed. The first alternative uses conventional building materials and it doesn’t follow the sustainability principles. On the other hand, the second one is designed by using the environmentally friendly materials and with sustainability principles in mind. Designs of conventional and green family house are mutually compared from energy efficiency, embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2eq. and SO2eq. point of view. A special focus is put on the sustainability assessment of designed houses by the Slovak environmental assessment system of buildings.

Abstract:
A comparative analysis was conducted between two office buildings, one constructed using green design and the other erected using traditional building construction methods. As part of the analysis, thermal comfort indicators (using the Predicted Mean Value of Fanger model) were monitored by recording equivalent temperature, air temperature, and relative humidity at each site. The study tests whether office buildings constructed using different design approaches have significantly different indoor thermal environment. The results of the comparative analysis indicate that the green building provides better thermal comfort than the conventional building.
