The expansion and development of advanced technology by mankind have a great substantial impact on the natural environment. The buildings consume a large number of natural resources during their construction, design, and operation process. Due to the manipulation of natural resources by the buildings on a large scale, there is a need of better-designed buildings for effective and efficient use of resources. The concept of “green buildings” is an innovative solution for the aforementioned issues and promotes eco-friendly activities. Internet of things (IoT) transforms the idea of green building into real. Considering a large number of IoT applications, the objective of this chapter is to survey the major IoT concepts for green building management. The survey is conducted by summarizing a large number of scientific contributions to the field (i.e., internet of things for green buildings) and presented in this study. This chapter also describes the open research challenges for future work in this emergent area.

The development and expansion of mankind in addition to the advancement of technology have a substantial impact on the environment. The construction, design, and operation of buildings account for a large consumption of natural resources. Due to the exploitation of natural resources on a large scale through these buildings, it has become necessary to have a better-designed building for the efficient use of resources. The concept of “green building” solves the aforementioned issues apart from promoting eco-friendly activities. IoT makes the idea of having buildings that are energy sufficient possible through networked sensors that not only help in managing the assets better but also reducing harmful impacts on human health and the environment. This chapter talks about the concept of the green building and the smart automation achieved through IoT as well as cloud architecture for the green building also referred to as green cloud. While it explains the basic cloud architecture in green building, it also proposes future challenges for the aforementioned subject.

Green building has become an important issue among architects and urban planners due to the increment in global warming risks and climatic changes which influenced negatively on natural resources. It is also one of measures been put forward to alleviate the significant impacts of the influence of buildings on the environment, society and economy. There have been extensive studies on green buildings, as evidenced in the rapid growing number of papers been published in last decades. These studies have been conducted in both developed countries and developing countries, indicating this is a global issue. However, there is lack of extensive researches on the green buildings in Iraq that is crucial for the future exerts. This paper reports the definition of green building, the environmental, social and economical aspects of green building, and application of green building's principles in traditional housing in Iraq.

Maintenance Performance

The UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2020 highlighted buildings and cities as one among six sector solutions for climate change through enhanced energy efficiency and carbon reduction. A good performing green building is seen as a solution for energy efficiency and environmental protection, but performance of green building is largely affected by maintenance management. Green maintenance has been introduced to allow goal of maintenance to be realised using advanced technology and equipment at the lowest cost of resources and energy use, waste and minimise environmental effect. There have been findings that green buildings might not be performing as how it is intended. However, green maintenance performance indicators are rarely studied. Even though there is an issue in this area, it was found that there was still scarcity of studies that review the existing literature on green maintenance, maintenance performance, and maintenance management of green building. Hence, a systematic literature review was conducted on the integration of green maintenance principles into maintenance performance indicators for green buildings. This review was based on the publication standard, namely RepOrting Standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES) and integrated multiple research designs. Two leading databases (Web of Science and Scopus) was selected for the searching of existing literature. Based on the data, for green maintenance principles and performance indicators, 4 main aspects have been established, namely Environment, Economy, Technical and Social. 5 green maintenance principles that have also been identified. Moreover, 11 green maintenance indicators and 25 sub-indicators were identified. This study has offered significant contribution to the body of knowledge in this topic. The findings explained the importance of integrating green maintenance principles into maintenance performance for green building to ensure desired maintenance performance, as follows: 1) to encourage green building managers to realise their role in maintenance performance; 2) to plan integration strategies according to the desired maintenance performance; and 3) to inform on the knowledge gap existence on specific areas and future studies suggestions.

Green building (GB) is a game changer as the world is moving towards conserving its resources. Green building management systems available nowadays are too expensive and cannot cater to small or medium-sized buildings. Internet of things-based systems use simple, low-cost sensors, signal processing, and high-level learning methods. Studies on building occupancy and human activities help improve design and push the energy conservation levels. With huge amounts of data and improved learning systems, the impetus is to capture the information and use it well to improve design and justify the green building concept. Cloud-based architecture helps to monitor, capture, and process the data, which acts as input to intelligent learning systems, which in turn help to improve the design and performance of current green building management systems. This chapter discusses role of cloud-based internet of things architecture in improving design and performance of current building management systems.

In a world exhausting our natural resources, green building has become the ethical “in-thing” in an attempt to save our planet from despair. The bitter experience of global warming has alarmed and compelled the mankind to change the way they operate on earth. Within the construction industry, the green building concept evolved and it now gaining momentum rapidly across the world. Green building involves a building which incorporates environmental consideration into every stage of the building construction with the objectives to protect occupant health, improve employee productivity, use wisely natural resources and reduce the environmental impact. The use of sustainable resources in the construction industry should be enforced by the local construction regulations in order to save the environment. The study findings revealed that the green buildings provide better health for buildings occupants due to the improved indoor quality, development of more energy efficient products and the use of less natural resources for the satisfaction and welfare of building tenants, also to protect the ecosystem. The outcome of this research shows that green building benefits should encourage clients, consultants and invest in green buildings. The researchers in this paper talks about the requirement of green building constructions in India, and tries to find out the drivers which create a demand for purchase of green buildings.

The insufficient property manager competency in handling operation and maintenance work often overshadows the benefits from green building development. The uniqueness of green building design makes it different with traditional building and need expertise to handle it. Thus, this study intends to determine the competencies required by property manager in managing green buildings. The reviews from previous research were conducted and study indicates four main competency elements, which are knowledge, skill, ability and other characteristics for property managers to manage green buildings. This research gives a significant impact for property managers in providing an effective and efficient green building management.
