Published data or available literature on planning, design, construction, performance, and renovation criteria for sustainable buildings have been focused on some stages, such as design and construction stages, or some parts of each stage due to a limited number of collaborative scholars or the scope of their research. These data usually have been published scattered or partially presented in many different papers―there have not been any papers published these data, all-stage ‘plan-design, construction, performance, and renovation’ criteria, together. Hence, this paper aims to collect and review these data and publish them together. The data collection and review were conducted by our team, 25 members, who specialized in sustainable urban, architectural, and civil engineering and construction management. The review outputs were combined and then validated based on a group consensus. This consensus-based validation proceeded through several times of meetings. These meetings extensively discussed the relevance and importance of the validated data (main criteria and sub-criteria, including their descriptions, of sustainable building in all stages) and more focused on their importance and applicability to the Cambodian context. The collective and review data demonstrated in this paper would be useful to researchers in the fields. They could also be useful collective knowledge and information for policymakers from the governments and development partners, as well as for architecture and building construction companies.

Published data or available literature on planning, design, construction, performance, and renovation criteria for sustainable buildings have been focused on several parts, such as some parts of construction, or some stages, such as design and construction stages, due to a limited number of collaborative scholars or scopes of their research. Usually, these data have been published scattered or presented partially in various papers; there has not been any paper published these data, all-stage ‘plan-design, construction, performance, and renovation’ criteria, together. Hence, this paper aims to collect these data and publish them together. The data collection was conducted by our team, 25 members, who specialized in sustainable urban, architectural, and civil engineering and construction management. After collection, the review outputs of sustainable building criteria were validated based on a group consensus. This consensus-based validation procedure was conducted through meetings. These meetings extensively discussed the relevance and importance of the collective criteria and focused on their applicability to Cambodia. The collective data demonstrated in this paper could be useful to researchers in the fields. They could also be useful collective knowledge and information for policymakers from the governments and development partners, as well as architectural and construction engineering companies.

Published data or available literature on sustainable building plan-design, construction, performance, and renovation criteria have covered some stages or some parts of each stage. These data usually have been published partially in many different papers―there have not been any papers that published these data together. Hence, this paper aims to collectively review these data and publish them together. The collection and review of these data were carried out by our twenty-five team members who specialized in sustainable urban, architectural, and civil engineering and construction management. The gathered and reviewed outputs were combined and validated based on a general group consensus. This consensus decision-making proceeded through two major group meetings with several follow-up meetings. The first major meeting was to combine and improve the gathered reviewed sustainable building criteria for Cambodia. The second major meeting was to validate the improved reviewed sustainable building criteria for Cambodia. The several follow-up meetings were to discuss the relevance and importance of the validated data “criteria and their classifications and descriptions” in all stages and more focused on their importance and applicability to Cambodia. The collective reviewed data in this paper would be useful to researchers in the fields. They could also be useful collective knowledge and information for policymakers from governmental agencies and development partners, particularly for sustainable building and construction companies.

In order to achieve this, relevant studies were examined and reviewed on the issues of management practices and construction companies. The research method used is the application of statistical tools in SPSS and Minitab tools to evaluate and to analysis the distributed questionnaires. The aim of the research design is the desire to simplify the complex issue of the strategic management practices, in construction companies in decision making for a better understanding. 349 responses were used to study the population of the construction companies’ staff in the case study. The primary and secondary data are the sources of data used for this research. The instruments used in collection of the data were structured questionnaire, interview and observation. The descriptive method was used to analyze the data generated for the research. This was supported by tables showing questions, responses, frequency and percentages. The mean scores, correlation, and standard deviation test was used in analyzing the data generated for the study. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of management practices tactics are highly essential, influential and significance in construction companies. Without adequate tactical management practices, construction companies will have deficiencies in design, construction and construction management. Based on the above findings the researcher made recommendations that will help to enhance construction companies and construction management and to create effectiveness that will enable the environment specifically in construction companies.

There are a wide variety of buildings that have been distinguished from traditional buildings with respect to their design, construction and utilization processes. These buildings are widely named ranging from passive, green, ecological to sustainable and are also differentiated as an intended consequence of their economic, social and environmental advantages. Consequently, the development of well-defined financial mechanisms aimed at promoting to business and individuals as well as the adoption of incentives by the governments are very important. This chapter recommends the following with respect to addressing sustainable building issues; the initiation of legal and regulatory structures concerning finance of energy investments, increasing the aggregate magnitude of the private credit packages prepared with the cooperation of energy productive focused firms and banks, diversification of the financial products and services as regards sustainable buildings, improvement of maturity extensions and tax exemptions pertaining to sustainable building private credits.

India is a rapidly developing nation, so its adoption of sustainable building would have considerable social, environmental, and economic benefits. However, process attributes that contribute to successful delivery (planning, design, construction and operation) of sustainable buildings in India are largely undefined. Other projects in India would benefit from a rigorous identification of these process attributes, which is the purpose of this research. This research applies process mapping to study the delivery of Soundarya Decorator's factory building in Chennai, India; a project which achieved advanced sustainability performance with no first cost increase. From these process maps, process attributes are identified and compared to those identified in a previously published study of Toyota's South Campus facility in Torrance, California. Process attributes common to both projects include: demonstrating an early commitment to sustainability by key stakeholders; setting goals related to sustainability, not certification; continuously educating project stakeholders on sustainability; aligning sustainable features with business objectives; encouraging project team “buy-in” to sustainability goals; and investing design time to consider alternative sustainable solutions.

Purpose This paper aims to develop a knowledge-based (KB) system for Lean Six Sigma (LSS) maintenance in environmentally sustainable buildings (Lean6-SBM). Design/methodology/approach The Lean6-SBM conceptual framework has been developed using the rule base approach of KB system and joint integration with gauge absence prerequisites (GAP) technique. A comprehensive literature review is given for the main pillars of the framework with a typical output of GAP analysis. Findings Implementation of LSS in the sustainable building maintenance context requires a pre-assessment of the organisation’s capabilities. A conceptual framework with a design structure is proposed to tackle this issue with the provision of an enhancing strategic and operational decision-making hierarchy. Research limitations/implications Future research work might consider validating this framework in other type of industries. Practical implications Maintenance activities in environmentally sustainable buildings must take prodigious standards into consideration, and, therefore, a robust quality assurance measure has to be integrated. Originality/value The significance of this research is to present a novel use of hybrid KB/GAP methodologies to develop a Lean6-SBM system. The originality and novelty of this approach will assist in identifying quality perspectives while implementing different maintenance strategies in the sustainable building context.

Fixed Beam

We are interested in a contact problem for a thin fixed beam with an internal point obstacle with possible rotation and shift depending on a given swivel and sliding friction. This problem belongs to the most basic practical problems in, for instance, the contact mechanics in the sustainable building construction design. The analysis and the practical solution plays a crucial role in the process and cannot be ignored. In this paper, we consider the classical Euler–Bernoulli beam model, which we formulate, analyze, and numerically solve. The objective function of the corresponding optimization problem for finding the coefficients in the finite element basis combines a quadratic function and an additional non-differentiable part with absolute values representing the influence of considered friction. We present two basic algorithms for the solution: the regularized primal solution, where the non-differentiable part is approximated, and the dual formulation. We discuss the disadvantages of the methods on the solution of the academic benchmarks.
