A Study on the Stakeholder Influences during Green Building Operation in China
Publication: ICCREM 2018: Sustainable Construction and Prefabrication
ABSTRACT
Sustainable development has gradually become an overarching policy goal of various countries/regions and China is no exception. The architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry consumes a large amount of resources and therefore plays a vital role realizing the spirit of sustainability in the country. Though green building industry has boomed during the last decade in China, barriers still exist hindering its further development such as emphasizing of sustainable design while ignoring sustainable operation. A participatory approach evaluating project performance during the operation phase is therefore suggested and a quantitative method prioritizing stakeholder impacts proposed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall process. The results indicate government organizations occupy the top of the list, followed by the owners and property management companies. The end-users as well as non-governmental organizations however stay at the bottom. Different strategies should be applied to achieve a rational distribution of participants from various stakeholder groups when evaluating sustainability during project operation.
