“…This is because the techniques and approaches that are optimal for specific projects vary depending on the geographic location, regional energy sources, community characteristics, stakeholder priorities, and many other variables. In addition, sustainable construction, which refers to achieving social, financial, and environmental sustainability throughout a building's whole life-cycle [2] requires a higher level of collaboration between stakeholders when compared to traditional construction projects due to increased uncertainty [3,4]. This uncertainty is due to the complexity of project decisions, which are often made using prior held judgments and heuristics [5,6].…”

Sustainable construction is fundamentally different than traditional construction because it requires whole systems thinking, early collaboration across stakeholders, and core principles like reducing resource consumption, eliminating toxins, and applying life cycle costing. Construction professionals unfamiliar with this mindset and approach may perceive sustainable construction as risky. One of the global regions in need of more sustainable construction is the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region. The MENA region is one of the fastest developing in the world. However, it is the slowest one in implementing sustainable construction practices. Kuwait, in particular, contributes 53% more carbon emissions per capita than the United States. To understand how the Kuwaiti construction industry perceives risks associated with more sustainable construction, a survey was developed with 52 risk elements in which 131 industry professionals responded. The results indicate that industry professionals perceive a lack of public awareness as the risk element with the highest probability of occurrence. The risk element with the highest possible negative impact on future projects is designers' and contractors' inexperience with sustainable construction. Other risks were found to include a high initial cost for materials and overall project costs. Educational interventions, changes in risk allocation, and behavioral science to reframe upfront costs as long-term savings are offered as possible solutions.

“…The theory underpinning high performance project delivery is that reduced process waste is able to enhance both sustainable outcomes and the business case for sustainability . Emerging concepts such as integrative design (Reed and Gordon 2000), the integrated design process (IDP) (WBDG 2012) and integrated project delivery (IPD) (AIA 2007) in the AEC industry also confirm the importance of understanding the project delivery attributes which require multidisciplinary teamwork. Molenaar et al (2009) confirmed that collaborative project delivery methods such as CM At-Risk, Design-Build and IPD were statistically more successful in delivering LEED projects.…”

The symbiotic convergence of green building and building information modeling (BIM) is represented by an emerging trend -green BIM. Project teams find that synergies between green and BIM can improve project outcomes and they are in a better position to accomplish established sustainability goals. Nevertheless, the full potential of green BIM is yet to be explored, as indicated by recent market research. The hypothesis is that for companies to successfully deliver green BIM project, a holistic approach that strategically plans for BIM execution to achieve sustainability goals is needed. The BIM Project Execution Planning Guidelines (PEPG) is currently being adopted by project teams as a standard workflow of strategic BIM implementation. PEPG, however, was not configured to address green building projects specifically. This research sees an opportunity to inherit PEPG's framework and develop an integrated green BIM process model for BIM execution in green building projects. Considering the prevalence of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system in the North American building industry, this research focuses on LEED projects as an exemplary use case. Two major activities conducted include: 1) a comprehensive literature review of existing green BIM strategies and best practices, and 2) the proposition of an 135 Building Information Modeling Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by New York University on 07/18/15.

The deliverables of this research include the overall framework of IGBPM, the Level 1 IGBPM and exemplary Level 2 IGBPM process maps, discussed along with case studies for verification and validation.

“…Green projects are characterized by several unique qualities: tightly coupled designs and multifunction materials and systems (Riley, Pexton, and Drilling 2003;Rohracher 2001), procurement of unusual products with limited sources (Klotz et al 2007;Pulaski et al 2003;Syphers et al 2003), existence of incentives and resources not available to other projects (Grosskopf & Kibert 2006;Pearce 2008;Rohracher 2001), requirements for additional information and documentation (Lapinski, Horman, andRiley 2005, 2006;Pulaski et al 2003), and greater involvement and integration of input of later stakeholders in earlier project phases (Cole 2000;Gil et al 2000;Pulaski & Horman 2005;Pulaski, Horman, and Riley 2006;Reed & Gordon 2000;Rohracher 2001). While some research exists to quantify the incremental costs for project design (Larsson & Clark 2000;Enermodal Engineering 2006), incremental costs associated with changes to construction practice remain unexplored, and some authors assert that construction practice remains largely the same despite changes in project requirements (Dewick & Miozzo 2004;Matar, Georgy, and Ibrahim 2008).…”

Investment in sustainability strategies and technologies holds promise for significant cost savings over the RSHUDWLRQDO SKDVH RI D IDFLOLW\ ¶V OLIH F\FOH ZKLOH PRUH HIIHFWLYHO\ PHHWLQJ VWDNHKROGHU QHHds. However, accurately estimating the first costs of a green project during the early concept development stages is challenging, and effective ways to comprehensively predict potential lifecycle cost impacts of sustainability strategies do not exist. This paper describes a agent-based model (ABM) of the Total Cost of Ownership of green facilities applicable at the earliest stages of concept development. An ABM approach captures the social, environmental, and engineering systems that characterize a facility ¶V OLIH F\FOH FRVW ,W permits evaluating the impact of the institutional and industry environment on facility life cycle performance, and also captures the cost impacts of tightly coupled facility systems that characterize green design.
