“…The project definition rating index (PDRI) emerged in 2000, with its purpose being to evaluate the sufficiency of the project implementation plan before an investment [12,13]. This tool has been validated and widely applied in many construction projects and research works [14,15].…”

Project effectiveness is a challenge in sustainable building construction projects. Lack of experience, knowledge, and skills in sustainable projects have been highlighted as the main barriers to using sophisticated and innovative techniques. Based on the literature, the pre-project planning effort directly influences a project's success. Nevertheless, the differences in planning efforts for green projects have not been fully determined, especially in Thailand, where sustainability just has only recently been considered in this context. This study investigated the status of pre-project planning for green building construction projects located in Thailand to promote sustainable construction. The analyses were performed based on two main objectives: (1) to compare the overall planning effort and (2) to address dissimilar planning factors between green and conventional projects. The concept of a project definition rating index (PDRI) was applied to evaluate the level of pre-project planning effort in 42 sample projects. An independent t-test was used for data analysis. The findings can contribute as the key strategies to facilitate the planning for sustainable buildings and help new practitioners to effectively allocate their constrained resources on significant project activities during the implementation of sustainable building construction.

“…For instance, pre-project planning for the delivery of green building projects (Kang, et al, 2013) leads to high sustainability outcomes (Weerasinghe, et al, 2007). Rekola, et al (2012) also explored and found that design management that is based on social interaction, influencing and leadership of the lead designer contributes to the successful project delivery of green building projects.…”

“…In addition, many multidisciplinary project participants, often with added competencies, are required to work together in a non-sequential, iterative and interconnected manner , while new but sophisticated green building features, such as photovoltaics, need to be installed in an integrated manner into the green building system (Kakoty & Das, 2014). Kang, Kim, Son, Lee, and Limsawasd (2013) stated that green building projects are more complicated because they use newer technologies and materials with less environmental impact. According to Inyim, Rivera, and Zhu (2014), these complexities affect the delivery performance of green building projects.…”

“…The second category is more pervasive and it focuses on identifying the causal factors or attributes which can enhance the delivery performance of green building projects through different performance metrics. Therefore they combine independent and dependent variables or constructs (See (Beheiry, et al, 2006;Gultekin, et al, 2013;Kang, et al, 2013;Swarup, et al, 2011). In addition, the effect of control variables such as project type, location and type of ownership on different performance metrics is evaluated.…”

“…In the above example for instance, the interdisciplinary team interaction and decision making between the architecture firm and others may extend the scheduled completion period (Nurul . In addition, the use of new technologies and techniques, and environmental-friendly materials attracts very high cost, and their use for green building projects increases the final cost of project development (Hand, et al, 2015;Kang, et al, 2013;Lapinski, et al, 2006;Li, Chen, Chew, Teo, & Ding, 2011). In order to ensure successful project delivery, Korkmaz, et al (2011) suggested that adjustments that can influence the delivery performance of green building projects are necessary.…”

Architects and engineers play a key role in the transformation of the building sector toward energy efficiency and climate change mitigation. Buildings are responsible for 40% of the total energy consumption and 11.9% of the CO 2 emission. In this sense, various international agreements are focused to decarbonize buildings, and the concept of nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB) as well as the implementation of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) have been designed. For that reason, building energy efficiency projects could be a driving force to achieve a low-carbon building stock and Energy Poverty (EP) mitigation. This chapter considers energy improvements and comfortable indoor spaces, in which the most appropriate operational guidelines and the users' training measures are crucial. With this approach, adaptive thermal comfort models could be an opportunity to guarantee sustainable use of Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems without affecting users' thermal comfort. This paves the way for significant reductions in energy consumption with a more responsible use of HVAC systems considering the adaptive thermal comfort models. Keywords Energy efficiency • Climate change • Nearly zero-energy building • Energy performance certificate • Energy poverty • Building sector • Thermal comfort • Adaptive comfort Low-Carbon Economy Goals and Energy Efficiency in BuildingsWhy are architects and engineers essential to decarbonize society? Various answers are possible, but the most direct is the potential of technicians to achieve a sustainable balance between citizens' activity and the natural environment, and this is due to the current environmental situation. The natural environment is today in a continuous process of environmental degradation that contributes to environmental pollution, sea-level rise, and more and more extreme temperatures [71]. In addition, the greatest anthropogenic activity is depleting the Earth's natural resources. Some reports of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) indicate that the capacity of these resources was
