Building Operation

There is much evidence that green building which is initially believed to be the solution to solve the problems of climate change and energy crisis can not perform as expected. The fact that green buildings consumed more energy and emit more CO2 than expected during the actual operation is due to the problems of inefficiency in building operation and maintenance. Facilities management integrates the entire component of the built environment including people, process, place and technology to make sure that the built environment system works optimally. It offer important contributions to address the challenge of inefficiency in terms of building operation and maintenance thus make facilities management industry become one of the fastest growing industry in the world. By doing a literature review, this paper intends to understand more about the practices of facilities management in different part of the world. It is found that there is a stark contrast in the development of facilities management practices in the western countries as compared to that in the eastern countries. The industry of facilities management is relatively new and the research related to that field is still limited thus provide a huge opportunity to develop it in the future since the importance of this field is increasingly recognize.

The Impact

Green buildings refer to buildings that decrease adverse environmental effects and maintain natural resources. They can diminish energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, the usage of non-renewable materials, water consumption, and waste generation while improving occupants’ health and well-being. As such, several rating tools and benchmarks have been developed worldwide to assess green building performance (GBP), including the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) in the United Kingdom, German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) in the United States and Canada, Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE) in Japan, Green Star in Australia, Green Mark in Singapore, and Green Building Index in Malaysia. Energy management (EM) during building operation could also improve GBP. One of the best approaches to evaluating the impact of EM on GBP is by using structural equation modelling (SEM). SEM is a commanding statistical method to model testing. One of the most used SEM variance-based approaches is partial least squares (PLS), which can be implemented in the SmartPLS application. PLS-SEM uses path coefficients to determine the strength and significance of the hypothesised relationships between the latent constructs.

Design And Construction

Green building is rapidly transforming the design and construction industry around the globe. Simultaneously, a growing numbers of industry practitioners are taking the advantages of building information modeling (BIM) to upgrade the sustainable performance of green building. BIM tools encourage an integrated lifecycle green building management from design, construction, and prefabrication to operation and maintenance. This paper represents using BIM technology to achieve green building objectives and sustainable performances.

Construction Operation

The national green building evaluation is divided into two phases of design and operation label. Because of involving many units, complicated operation and long construction, it is difficult to achieve the whole process identification of green building.It refines the assessment process of green building into conceptual design, predesign, construction drawing stage, green construction, completion and acceptance of construction, operation and maintenance respectively.Furthermore, the detail requirements and implementary strategies are expatiated in the article, combined with related theory and engineering design. Additional, it analyzed on green strategies of evaluation based on an actual engineering to provide a reference for green building assessment.

The vast increase of energy consumption, global warming and the harm they cause to the environment, emerge to be a major obstruction that distresses the world today. The current work views one of the methods that the world focused on as means of reducing the environmental harms and that is, through green building, or in more common words sustainable buildings. Those means, covers the exercising of a wide range of applications including merging of new and specific technologies in which through fulfilling its basis, the process of evaluation of the building takes place in terms of its harmony with the environment, reduction of energy consumption, and the reduction of the environmental problems caused by the building life cycle starting from defining of location, design of the building, operation, maintenance, repairing and up to the renewal of the building.  Despite the significance of green building, no profit nor implementations has yet been made in Libya. The latter is due to the lack of awareness by many Libyan social groups. From here, the idea behind this paper crystalized. It aims to spread and enhance the knowledge and techniques of green building. It also penetrates into the green building features and advantages that are considered to be a preliminary step to start its application in a wide range coinciding with the grand progress that the country has witnessed in the field of construction and housing. This paper concludes that it is possible to reduce energy consumption and the harm it causes to the environment after the implementation and merging of green building techniques and should be applied on a large scale covering the whole country.

Purpose Building operation and maintenance (BOM) services are important activities for highly competitive businesses. In addition, outsourcing decision factors are key to the effectiveness of BOM. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to identify and prioritize the decision factors that affect outsourcing decision factors for BOM services, to elicit the different perceptions of each managerial group (shopping centers, hotels, and hospitals), and to categorize the important outsourced BOM decision factors. Design/methodology/approach On the basis of the literature review, the authors observed that there are 56 outsourcing decision factors in six groups. The survey included 105 of the largest and most competitive companies in Bangkok, Thailand. The statistical methods applied were the relative importance index (RII), t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and factor analysis (FA). Findings The findings show that the three participant groups are different in some respects, as shown by their RII values. After ranking the RII values, the top 15 factors for each participant group were used to compare the participant groups using the t-test and one-way ANOVA, which confirmed their respective similarities and differences. Through an FA, the top reasons that each business outsourced BOM services were grouped into major categories. Originality/value The results of this research will not only facilitate an understanding of the related decision factors used by each particular business in the commercial sector but will also assist outsourcing companies in identifying and improving support services for businesses.
