Abstract:There are many studies of contractor selection based on clients and the selection of suppliers by contractors. However, supplier selection specifically related to green construction projects has been much less studied. Green construction differs from conventional construction because of differences in its underlying principles and use of environmentally-friendly materials and technologies. This paper studies how procurers in contractor companies in Sweden adopt green projects and how contractor perception of supplier mastery of green knowledge affects supplier selection. The investigation is based on a set of semi-structured interviews conducted among three large contractors in Sweden. A main finding is that the perceived differences between green and conventional projects do not change supplier selection dramatically. An implication is that "greener projects" is a more appropriate denotation than "green project". Evidence shows that suppliers' green knowledge is an important factor in supplier selection, as respondents rated suppliers' knowledge of green projects as very important, and to fix his, there was a consensus among respondents about the need for close collaboration between contractors and suppliers. To ensure knowledge acquisition from suppliers and to increase their competitive advantage over rivals, contractors collaborate with their suppliers in a partnering setting. It is anticipated that the results of this study will be used to fill the gap in the literature on supplier selection in green projects and can also be used for construction firms contemplating getting involved in green projects.

“…Research has shown that using BPA tools takes a considerable amount of time to properly input data correctly even for qualified practitioners [16]. Because of the length of time it typically takes to perform this type of simulation and analysis and deliver sought answers in the conventional ways, its results tend to lag in time behind the timing of design decision making [17]. Also, the conventional building energy performance analysis can be based on potentially arbitrary model definitions [7].…”

There are significant opportunities for Building Information Modelling (BIM) to address issues related to sustainable and energy efficient building design. While the potential benefits associated with the integration of BIM and BPA (Building Performance Analysis) have been recognised, its specifications and formats remain in their early infancy and often fail to live up to the promise of seamless interoperability at various stages of design process. This paper conducts a case study to investigate the interoperability between BIM and BPA tools, and discusses the limitations to suggest development of Information Delivery Manual (IDM) aiming to propose potential solutions for typical issues facing professionals in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.

“…Various types of ICT-based applications for design and construction efficiency such as 2D and 3D modelling are used for visualisation in the project delivery process of green building projects (Korkmaz, Messner, Riley, & Magent, 2010). According to Bersson, Mazzuchi, and Sarkani (2012), process models coded in relevant modelling language are particularly common ICT-based applications used to ensure successful delivery of green building projects.…”
