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.

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.

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.

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.

t has been argued that green buildings have a better indoor environmental quality than conventional buildings and that this translates into a more satisfying workplace for the building's occupants and, inturn, a more productive workforce. Assessing a building's cost effectiveness means taking into account all the costs that will be incurred during its life cycle not just development costs. People found no evidence to believe that green buildings are more comfortable than conventional building. In fact, the only difference between the buildings was that occupants of the green building were more likely to perceive their work environment as warm, and occupants who felt warm were more likely to describe their work environment as poor.

Purpose Global warming and climate change is one of the biggest issues facing humanity in this century; its effects are felt on the highest peaks of Mount Everest to the low-lying islands in the India Ocean. This century marked the highest amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted, breaking records of the past 650,000 years, and we have pushed the climate to “a point of no return”. Much of the climate contribution has been linked to humanity’s thirst for higher living standards and lifestyle, which has led to higher consumerism, depletion of earth’s resources, production of massive waste and carbon emissions. Fast forward from the sustainability agenda of Brundtland set in 1987 and the increasing demand for energy consumption to cater for the current global inhabitants, many “green” efforts have been taken by the building industry to reduce the overall environmental impact. This purpose of this study is to compare energy performance of a conventional office building with a green certified building. Design/methodology/approach This paper tries to bridge the performance gap by comparing measured operational energy consumption and carbon emission of Green Building Index (GBI)-certified office buildings in Kuala Lumpur, to determine whether “green buildings” are performing as intended in reducing their environmental impact. Findings This paper highlighted and compared operational energy consumption and carbon emissions of a GBI-certified office with a conventional office building in Malaysia. The paper also discusses the performance gap issue and its common causes, and aims to compare predicted energy and operational energy performance of buildings. Originality/value Initiatives such as “green” or “sustainable” design have been at the forefront of architecture, while green assessment tools have been used to predict the energy performance of a building during its operational phase. There is still a significant performance gap between predicted or simulated energy measurements to actual operational energy consumption. The need to measure actual performance of these so-called “green buildings” is important to investigate if there is a performance gap and whether these buildings can perform better than conventional buildings. Understanding why the performance gap occurs is a step in reducing actual and predicted energy performance in buildings.

This paper explores the green building attributes that significantly influenced rental depreciation for conventional buildings from expert perspectives using Malaysia as a case study. The objectives of this study include: (1) identifying the green building attributes for rental depreciation and (2) prioritizing the green attributes via the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. To achieve these objectives, firstly the study identified the green building attributes from the literature and from green building guidelines. The attributes were then validated by expert valuers via a semi-structured interview. Secondly, the attributes were utilized to develop the AHP-designed questionnaire and used to gather feedback from real estate experts. Ten (10) responses were analyzed using the descriptive and AHP techniques. This study has identified the rank of prioritized green building attributes, where the findings suggest the central role of indoor environment quality (EQ), where it ranked the highest in contributing to conventional purpose-built office (PBO) rental depreciation, followed by energy efficiency (EE), green site planning and management (SM), materials and resources (MR), innovation (IN), and water efficiency (WE). The findings allow researchers and practitioners to create strategies for reducing the impact of conventional building rental depreciation and obsolescence due to green building attributes.

Full textAbstract:
As knowledge of the built environment's impact on resource and energy use increases, industry leaders are moving toward a healthier, more sustainable solution by building green. Though green buildings have the ability to improve occupant health and productivity, it is not clear what impact the behaviors of building occupants have on the building. New systems and technologies in green buildings require building occupants to think and operate differently in their new green environment, otherwise risking not fully gaining the benefits of the new facility. The new behaviors necessary to the success of the green building are not necessarily obvious or trivial. They cannot simply be learned “on-the-job;” rather the transformation will require formal education. It likely requires changing attitudes and beliefs in addition to building a robust understanding of new procedures. This study sought to determine the amount of information necessary to change occupants' willingness to use new energy-efficient behaviors not followed in the conventional building. An empirical test comparing four versions of the same training, each with varying amounts and types of information was presented to three different populations: nursing staff of a green building, clinical staff of a green building, and nursing staff of a conventional building. Results show that knowledge of green building standards and the impact of energy saving behaviors are the information necessary to increase willingness to change behaviors. Also, staff members of the new, green building are more willing to change behaviors than staff of the conventional building.

Vacuum insulation panel is regarded as one of the most promising high performance thermal insulation materials for green building. It has extremely low thermal conductivity and its insulation performance is a factor of four to eight times better than that of conventional insulation such as mineral wool or polymer foams. The high thermal resistivity of VIP provides new solutions for slim but still energy efficient building envelopes. Although VIP has widely been used in refrigerators and freezers for a long time, it has only recently been discovered by the building sector. There is not yet any alternative for conventional thermal insulation materials in many countries, especially in China. This paper attempts to investigate the components, features and advantages of VIP for building, it will be helpful to the development of green building.

Современное зеленое покрытие системы - это новые тенденции зеленого строительства и энергоэффективное решение различных задач: теплопотери намного меньше, чем при эксплуатации обычной крыши. Таким образом, это приводит к снижению затрат на отопление в холодный период, а в жаркий период на охлаждение помещения и кондиционирование. In the study, we consider various green roof and green wall coverings, including continuous covering systems (non-modular type) and modern modular green covering systems. The modern green roofing system is a new trend in green building and an energy-efficient solution to various problems: heat loss is much less than during the operation of a conventional roof. Thus, this leads to a reduction in heating costs in the cold period, and in the hot period for cooling.

Sustainable buildings generally demonstrate a friendly environment, save energy and reduce operational costs, thus opening up significant investment opportunities in green buildings of the office property type. It is a shame that currently there are still very few office building developers who apply the green building concept, meanwhile the green building concept provides 31% greater profits than conventional buildings. This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility of four office buildings which are divided into two categories, namely category one (building 1 and Building 3) with a grade A building type and category two (building 2 and building 4) with a grade B building type. Building 1 and building 2 has received green building certification issued by GBCI. Building 2 and building 4 are buildings with a conventional concept. Calculation analysis is carried out using the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Payback Period (PP) methods. Based on the results of the analysis, from the two categories of building types, the results showed that the NPV of each building was said to be financially feasible with an NPV ratio of 294% (category 1) and 162% (category 2). The IRR obtained exceeds the MARR value, with a comparison of 54% (category 1) and 21% (category 2). The payback period is less than the project investment period, namely 20 years, with a difference of 5 years (category 1) and 3 years (category 2). The office buildings with the highest and best NPV are Building 1 and Building 3 (category 1), so that even though the construction costs and green building design planning costs incurred are higher, in the research object of each building there are quite significant differences in NPV and IRR and It is hoped that all new construction and renovation work carried out by developers can apply the green building concept.

Green buildings are generally referred to as environmental friendly buildings. Globally, building is responsible for a huge share of energy, water, electricity, and material consumption. The green building concept is very popular worldwide. The adverse impact of construction on the environment significantly promotes the development of the green building concept worldwide.The growing awareness of the adverse environmental impacts of construction has led to the widespread adoption of the green building concept globally. This approach promotes sustainability and mitigates the negative effects of construction on the environment. This research project aims to perform the energy and cost saving comparison of green building over the conventional building. Green Building are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and natural environment. This study aims to investigate the cost premiums and cost performance of green building projects. After an extensive literature review and case study of G+4 residential building located at Bhusawal district, Maharashtra has been presented in detail. The land area spread over 6400 sqft and construction area is about 12000 Sqft. and it is designed as per green building design to save the cost and energy for the building. This case study shows that the average increase in the initial cost of green building is 7-10% for those with four-star rating building however 34-40% of energy can be saved by implementing the green building design and technique. This study can reduce the maintenance cost of green building over the conventional building which is very huge amount over the lifecycle of the project.

Green buildings can have a more significant impact on their occupant health and productivity through improving indoor environment quality. However, post-occupancy studies invariably pointed out that green buildings were not always more comfortable and productive than non-green buildings. The article presents a comparison study between three buildings in Shenzhen aiming to examine the actual performance of green buildings from occupant point of view. The two green buildings marked a higher satisfaction on the health and productivity perception. However, in-depth examinations on IEQs showed some weaknesses in the two green buildings. On the comfort and satisfaction with the indoor air and temperature, the two green buildings performed better in summer but worse in winter. One of the two green buildings had significantly more noise from different sources than the conventional building. The other green building was significantly less satisfactory on the lighting environment than the conventional building. Implications were discussed for the green building designs and operations.

Green buildings are not entirely successful in achieving energy saving targets. One way of improving energy targets is to encourage occupants to adopt energy saving behaviour. To date, energy saving behaviour has been given less focus in improving green building performance than other energy saving initiatives, such as retrofitting buildings for green features. This study uses comparison case studies between green buildings and conventional buildings in New Zealand to better understand the energy saving behaviour of occupants. Questionnaires were distributed to occupants in green and conventional buildings to evaluate the extent of energy saving behaviour practiced and to identify potential strategies to encourage energy saving behaviour. The objective of this paper is to investigate the level of energy saving behaviour between green and conventional office buildings to see if people in green buildings perform better energy saving behaviour than people in conventional buildings in computer usage. The findings do show better energy saving behaviour from occupants in green buildings than occupants in conventional buildings. The paper shows why this is the case. The recommended strategies to encourage energy saving behaviour used by different buildings are also discussed. Strategies include raising education awareness on energy efficiency among the building occupants, energy saving commitments, and to have an active building manager assigned for energy related matters.

Question: To explore the proportion of solar energy in replacing conventional energy under the trend of green building development. Methods: The literature and data about the development trend of green building and solar energy utilization were collected. By analyzing these literatures and data, the proportional calculation equation of solar energy application in green buildings is established to evaluate the practical application of solar energy in these projects. Conclusion: Under the trend of green building development, the proportion of solar energy in replacing conventional energy is gradually increasing. However, due to the cost and efficiency constraints of solar technology, the current proportion of solar energy applications in green buildings is still relatively low. Therefore, we recommend further research and development of solar technology to increase the proportion of its application in green buildings, so as to achieve more sustainable energy use.

The construction industry is a significant contributor to environmental degradation, accounting for high levels of energy consumption, raw material extraction, and waste generation. Conventional building materials, such as concrete, steel, and bricks, have substantial environmental footprints due to resource depletion and carbon emissions during their production and disposal stages. In contrast, green building materials offer a more sustainable alternative by minimizing energy use, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and incorporating recyclable or renewable resources. This paper presents a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of various green building materials, evaluating their environmental impact from raw material extraction through manufacturing, transportation, usage, and end-of-life disposal or recycling. The study compares green building materials—such as recycled concrete, bamboo, rammed earth, hempcrete, and low-carbon cement—to traditional counterparts in terms of energy efficiency, embodied carbon, resource depletion, and waste reduction. Through quantitative analysis, including energy consumption metrics, carbon footprint estimations, and material efficiency evaluations, this research identifies the most environmentally favorable alternatives. Figures, tables, and bar charts illustrate key findings, emphasizing critical areas where green materials outperform conventional options. Additionally, the study highlights challenges associated with green material adoption, such as cost, durability, and scalability, while suggesting strategies for overcoming these barriers. The results provide valuable insights for policymakers, architects, engineers, and construction professionals seeking to enhance sustainability in the built environment. By advancing the adoption of eco-friendly materials, the construction sector can significantly contribute to mitigating climate change and promoting a more resource-efficient future.

Full textAbstract:
It has been over three decades since the term “sustainable development” was coined in Brundtland’s report in 1987, and 28 years have passed since the world’s first sustainability assessment method for buildings was founded by the Building Research Establishment in UK in 1990. During these three decades, many sustainability standards, codes, and rating systems were created and used to help in designing, constructing, maintaining, rating, and labeling buildings with attaining the principles of sustainability. Yet by looking at the Arab world at the beginning of 2019, one can argue that, although the Arab countries have dedicated the effort and budget to save energy, water, and natural resources, the region as a whole is still struggling to shift the paradigm of the building industry from conventional to sustainable. This struggle raises some questions; are there any challenges that Arab countries must overcome to leap forward to a prosperous sustainable building design and construction practices? Why are existing green building rating systems such as Estidama in United Arab Emirates, global sustainability assessment system (GSAS) in Qatar, and ARZ in Lebanon lagging behind the trends of green building rating systems in the developed countries? What are the coordinated steps needed to expedite this movement across the region? The current study explores the limits and potentials of the green building industry in the Arab world through analysis of the green building initiatives, academic scholarship activities in architecture and engineering sectors, and feedback from green building professionals across the Arab world. This article introduces a theoretical framework to expedite the green building movement in the Arab region; the framework is shaped by the environmental, social, and economic factors that are crucial to the transformation of the building industry from conventional to sustainable. The study seeks to support a line of research that could help governments in the Arab world catch up with the global green building trends.

This paper examines the issues of ecological (green) construction in the framework of the concept of sustainable development - an inevitable global trend. The scale of ecological (green) construction is still limited throughout the world, including in Russia. Green building appeared in Russia much later than in Europe and the United States, where considerable experience has been accumulated in the implementation of such projects. It is necessary to better understand the obstacles to the implementation of green projects in order to find ways and means to overcome them. In this study, 19 obstacles to the implementation of green building projects in Russia were identified. The most important obstacles turned out to be: lack of necessary knowledge and information about green building among construction subjects, higher cost of green building compared to conventional, lack of interest and market demand for green building. The results of this study provide information that is valuable in the design and implementation of green building projects in the future.

Indonesia has not widely implemented green buildings although such buildings offer many benefits to their occupants and property management firms. In this respect, this study seeks to test the effect of green buildings on business performance. This research expands GBCI’s green building indicators with an indicator of continuous and design process to operationalize the green building variable. Meanwhile, the measurement of business performance refers to the balanced scorecard for sustainability (BSCS) concept that adds the environmental perspective into the conventional BSC. Surveying 126 manager respondents representing 89 green and non-green buildings, the study finds that green building implementation positively affects business performance. Thus, our hypothesis is empirically supported.

The world of industrial construction is always developing, thus there are negative impacts arise such as the reduction of free / green land, the use of construction materials originated from natural resources in very large quantities, excessive use of energy, and air pollution. We can actually use the tropical climate in buildings and the environments using the green building concept. The green building concept includes several parts of the construction process such as green initiation (awareness of the green building concept), green design (green building design), green construction (environmentally friendly construction process), green operation &amp; maintenance (green building maintenance). This research is conducted with the aim of analyzing the effectiveness of the application of the green building concept in construction of the buildings. The method used in this study is to compare the total cost of maintenance and impact between buildings categorized as buildings with conventional concepts and buildings with green building concepts. The variables used in this study to include the use of the type of material, monthly electricity costs, and monthly water costs. In processing the data the writer use EDGE software and the results of data processing will show the difference in the total maintenance costs of the two buildings.

With the shift from conventional to green buildings a need emerges to train staff on how to work within them. Building occupants control many of the green building technologies, which makes it necessary to educate occupants on the differences between using a green building versus a conventional building in order to secure the green building's success. The breadth of information that is necessary for an occupant to know in order to change their behaviors to be in accord with the high performing building they occupy makes it necessary to use a systematic method to reduce the information provided in trainings. This study employs a decision matrix approach as an objective means to narrow the focus of the training. A case study is used to implement the methods developed in this study. A focus group evaluated the effectiveness of the decision matrix. Results from the focus group showed that staff was active in waste reduction behaviors, but not in energy efficient actions. This supported the outcome of the decision matrix in finding relevant, necessary information for the training.

Full textAbstract:
Bioeconomy helps to move towards a renewable, fossil-free future. The environmental impact is significantly reduced when replacing fossil-based products with bio-based alternatives. In a bioeconomy, all products are made from renewable and biogenic resources. In the building sector examples for biogenic sources are traditionally wooden building structures, while green roofs are becoming more popular. The goal of the present project was to assess the amount of biogenic carbon stored in green roofs and wooden buildings overall. The question is whether green roofs are improving the biogenic carbon usage of buildings and find out how that can be improved. The methods used are based on construction modelling, life cycle assessment and standardised environmental product declaration (EPD). The results indicate that wooden building structures are not enough for a complete biogenic building to move to a renewable, fossil-free future. Furthermore, the green roofs do add more biogenic carbon to the building than conventional roofs, while seen over the whole building these benefits are negligible. The results are presented as renewable and nonrenewable energy as well as biogenic carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. These are compared with conventional roofing based on non-renewable standard roofs in Sweden.

Green building is a way to reduce the impact of the building stock on the environment, society, and economy. Despite the significance of a systematic review for the upcoming project, few studies have been conducted. Studies within the eco-friendly construction scope have been boosted in the past few decades. The present review study intends to critically analyse the available literature on green buildings by identifying the prevalent research approaches and themes. Among these recurring issues are the definition and scope of green buildings, the quantification of green buildings’ advantages over conventional ones, and several green building production strategies. The study concludes that the available research focuses mainly on the environmental side of green buildings. In contrast, other crucial points of green building sustainability, such as social impacts, are often neglected. Future research objectives include the effects of climate on the effectiveness of green building assessment methods; verification of the actual performance of green buildings; specific demographic requirements; and future-proofing.

The adoption of green building material can lower greenhouse gas emissions emanating from construction related activities. Green building materials (GBM) have a lower carbon footprint, it has more energy efficient and also offer better thermal comfort which make them advantageous than conventional building materials. Green Building material (GBM) offers environmental, social and economic benefits over conventional building material. However little empirical evidence exists of the wide spread adoption of GBM at scale in especially in developing countries, particularly Nigeria, what could be the factor that hindered GBM adoption. To answer this, this paper assesses the barrier hindering GBM adoption in Nigeria construction industrial (NCI). It uses a cross-sectional survey research design with a structured questionnaire to achieve the aim of the study. Inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data gotten from the survey. The result from the analysis showed; lack of government policies focused on Green building materials adoption, lack of knowledge about Green building materials, lack of industrialized systems for Green building materials production, Lack of institution to formulate policies and set guideline and Lack of Demand for GBM are the first five main barriers hindering GBM adoption in Nigeria. The findings of the study have great implications for GBM policy, design and implementation. These Policies will serves as frameworks which can create an enabling environment for GBM production to thrive and also drive the adoption of the same in the NCI. Ultimately this will cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.

Full textAbstract:
The calculation of carbon emissions is important to determine the carbon footprint and environmental impact of manufacturing processes to assess which steps could be further optimized and make processes greener and more sustainable. A previously published holistic approach to carbon footprint calculation was applied in conventional and laser-based material removal processes to determine which is the most carbon intensive one. The carbon footprint and environmental impact were calculated and the results show that conventional drilling was more carbon intensive than laser-based drilling, while the reverse was true for the case of laser-based grooving and conventional milling. This is because the cutting forces in conventional milling are higher than the cutting forces in conventional drilling due to increased mechanical resistance from the material in the first case. In the case of laser-based processes, the energy consumption is linked to material absorptivity which remained the same in this study. Carbon emissions on the process level were the lowest contributing factor, with the largest share being the production and rolling of steel allocated at the system level. The determination of the most carbon intensive steps and processes will allow companies to better design production lines towards carbon neutrality as dictated by the Green Deal.

Green roof is a system that had been identified as a medium that is able to reduce the thermal temperature of a building. It is an efficient way of reducing heat especially for hot climate countries like Malaysia. This study was conducted to assess the ability and the effectiveness of green roof in controlling the temperature of a building and also to make a comparison of its performance with the conventional roof. The study was conducted at the Masjid Kota Iskandar, Nusajaya, Johor. For this case study, Infrared Thermometer and 4 in 1 Meter Kit were used to record the temperature (maximum and minimum) during the day on the surface of the green roof and conventional roof as well as its relative humidity. The experiments were conducted during sunny days from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm at an interval of two hours on two different dates which were 18th March 2017 and 4th April 2017. Few locations for the data to be collected were plotted on the surface of both roofs and the readings of maximum and minimum surface roof temperatures were recorded for comparison. Based on the research that had been carried out, it can be concluded that the usage of green roof was able to reduce the average surface temperature in the range of 3.6°C –11.1°C as compared to the conventional roof. This result had proven that there was a decrease in temperature for the green roof as compared to the conventional roof. It had shown that the usage of the green roof in a building was an efficient way of reducing building temperature and also an effective way to achieve sustainability in architecture and engineering design.

Abstract: Green building is not just a matter of assembling a collection of the latest green technologies or materials. Rather, it is a process in which every element of the design is first optimized and then the impact and interrelationship of various different elements and systems within the building and site are re-evaluated, integrated, and optimized as part of a whole building solution. By blending the right mix of green technologies that cost less with green technologies that cost the same or slightly more, it is possible to have a very green building project that costs the same as a conventional one. Often the key to a cost effective green building and site design lies within the interrelationships and associated cost and performance trade-offs that exist between different building systems. It is also paramount to separate the role of the different participants in ensuring that the building consumes minimal resources during its life cycle and that it poses a minimal threat to the environment by minimizing the ecological footprint. The main aim of this project is to add various renewable energy sources to green building and create a 3D model on Autodesk Revit Architecture.

Abstract Green building (GB) is a key mitigation and adaptation measure in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of Parties to the Paris Agreement. This paper explores the potential of green finance (GF) to support country efforts to shift from conventional construction to GB and to promote green renovations in existing buildings (GREB) within the context of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Through a meta-synthesis of new or updated country NDCs, we provide, first, a comprehensive qualitative overview of country perspectives on GF-in-GB needs. Second, we examine the role of domestic finance, international financial support, and fiscal policy reforms toward GB and GREB implementation. Finally, the role of financing actors in promoting GF-in-GB-and-GREB is discussed. The analysis of new or updated NDCs revealed that only 20 of the 42 countries reviewed provide clear cost estimates for proposed climate-related buildings and construction activities. Developed countries account for more than 80% of total cost estimates. The majority of developing country adaptation and mitigation efforts are contingent on international climate (green) finance. While certain domestic finance sources are mentioned, the majority of countries emphasize the need for (international or national) fiscal policy reforms to help finance climate action. The findings of the study could serve as a useful reference to Parties when developing future NDCs.

Organic farmers used more tilled summerfallow (52%) than conventional farmers (6%). Tilled summerfallow represents a risk to soil sustainability on organic farms; however, the net effect of common organic management practices (e.g., green manuring, composting and tillage) on soil erodibility is not known. Determing the combined effect of management practices as well as finding alternatives to tilled summerfallow should be research priorities.Key words: Soil erosion risk, tillage, crop rotation, summerfallow

Since the late twentieth century, the construction industry has seen significant transformation. Because the demand for housing is expanding in tandem with population growth, it must be met with all available resources. The energy resources available to humanity, on the other hand, are limited and fast dwindling. In the long run, this will have a huge impact on the situation because the demand cannot be met with the available resources. As a result, resources will be depleted to a large level, causing serious problems. There are several alternatives for dealing with this scenario. Green building construction is a viable option that can be employed instead of traditional construction because it is more energy efficient. In general, the cost of constructing a green building is more than that of a conventional building, but the overall cost of the building, including upkeep, is lower. This research study focuses on the numerous facts and trends available for study about green construction, as well as the comparison between sustainable and conventional building.

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) have caused extreme temperature changes. In January 2023, temperatures were 0.1°C higher than the normal 30-year monthly average. Construction, especially high-rise offices, which occupy 42% of Jakarta, contributes significantly through energy con-Sumption. To reduce carbon emissions, Indonesia has started to implement green retrofits as part of the Net Zero Emission 2050. Due to high costs and lack of public education on new and existing green buildings, the implementation of green retrofits is inhibited, and owners prefer conventional buildings. This research aims to analyze the feasibility and investment risk of implementing green retrofits in high-rise office buildings using the life cycle cost method and the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Regulation No. 21 of 2021 to generate a feasible and safe in-vestment. It has been proven with cost savings in energy and water consumption of up to 15% compared to conventional office buildings. Profits have also been achieved by providing 9 benefits to the building owner, building manager and building occupants. Therefore, this research has the potential to accelerate the green revolution through feasible and safe green retrofit investments in Jakarta's office buildings.

Full textAbstract:
Global warming is currently a major environmental issue that is capable of causing unpredictable climate changes. The phenomenon is due to the accumulation of gases and carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere, partly attributed to building operation and construction. The Green Building Rating System (GBRS) is developed to assess and measure the level of green building practices to address this problem. The assessments have typically been conducted using conventional methods that require parameters to meet specific criteria. However, certain parameter values cannot be calculated using objective methods, such as bias, time series, and distance values. The existence of these challenges leads to the development and integration of the Decision Support Model (DSM) into the GBRS in the research. The DSM uses a mathematical model, Tsukamoto Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), and conventional methods to handle the parameter values. Moreover, data related to the parameters are collected and analyzed quantitatively. As a result, the DSM-GBRS model is successfully implemented with two findings. First, there are 83 parameters, related to policy, retrofit, construction, and utilization aspects based on Peraturan Menteri Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat Nomor 21 Tahun 2021. Second, the model provides precise decision values by splitting the treatment into four types: conventional, Fuzzy logic, slope, and Euclidean distance to ensure a comprehensive assessment of green building performance.
