Integrated Project Management Framework for Green Buildings

With the increasing problem of environmental issues and growing concern over climate change, sustainable / green building construction is gradually put forth globally. However construction of green buildings still encounters barriers as there is a lack of proper project management framework for such projects. For this certain factors have been identified based on the literature review of previous research papers and then a questionnaire if formed in accordance with these factors. Response of the questionnaire is taken from 35 industry experts (project managers, architects, engineers, construction manager etc.) with the aim to identify the degree of influence of these factors on the success or failure of managing green building projects. Findings of this study are the guidelines which are formulated for the project management of green buildings.
