“…For this reason, the study revealed the need for more efficient approaches for appraising quality performance, which will require decision makers to be critical of the procedures and promulgate better strategies to enhance measuring quality performance with more rigor in order to minimize associated cost overruns associated with consequential rework from poor quality. This will help governments gain more confidence in policies supporting the green building movement in its pursuit for sustainability in the industry [91,92].…”

The quality performance of a green building will have an overarching effect on its objectives because of the high compliance needed to achieve superior performance expectations. Achieving sustainability objectives is challenging and requires the collaboration of diverse professionals that resume unique responsibilities. In this study, the different managerial practitioners involved in green-building projects were investigated in terms of their awareness levels regarding the quality performance measures, their perceived abilities to influence quality failure consequences, the degree to which the cost-of-quality (CoQ) of components can be evaluated, and the effect the sustainability traits have on the quality performance. Accordingly, a survey approach was adopted, and the results were analyzed using Pearson’s chi-squared (χ2) test, the relative importance index (RII), Mann–Whitney U-Test, and Student’s T-test. According to the results, the priorities of the different managerial types and their overall impressions of cost computability were different, which needs to be considered when CoQ evaluations are done based on practitioners’ views. In addition, the sustainability traits of green buildings impact achieving quality metrics with the consequences of design rework occurring in the construction stage may lead to denouncing sustainability traits. The results of this research study reveal the need to consider the differences between managerial types when evaluating CoQ for projects and the increased sensitivity for such evaluation in a green building context. The paper contributes to underscoring the important connection between quality performance and sustainability traits of a green building project and calls for researchers to formulate methods with more rigor to reach a set structure for quality cost accounting as an industry standard. Intricate evaluation methods will enable strategic decision making on quality performance budgets to be more substantiated.

“…Reaching the energy efficiency standard does not necessarily mean the actual energy consumption is reduced by the 60% desired. At the same time, the claimed 70% compliance with the mandatory standards for new buildings in China is said to be only 30% in reality, mainly due to a weak monitoring mechanism and insufficient legal enforcement (Zhou, Li, & Chiang, 2013).…”

“…Based on the literature, institutional barriers are due to the government inaction or inadequacy in changing and creating institutions to deploy new energy-efficient building technologies. Barriers include nonfunctional [17] or inadequate institutions [18], lack of financial incentives and mismatching market mechanisms [19], legal system and administrative issues [20], lack of political and external financial support [21], lack of flexible energy tariffs and support incentives [22], inadequate tax policies [23], deficiencies in public policy and regulation [24], lack of policies promoting market opportunities [25], mandatory and incentive policies [25][26][27], traditional restrictive regulations [28,29], and restricted access to finance [27].…”

The combination of building energy management technology and technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has a significant potential for reducing energy consumption and, hence, CO2 emissions. However, numerous studies have indicated barriers preventing market growth. These challenges are mainly attributed to characteristics of the ecosystem of the building energy management systems (BEMS) industry. Thisstudy aimed to identify the major challenges hindering the deployment of BEMS in combination with Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies and to derive policies conducive to the achievement of the effective BEMS industry ecosystem. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) survey was conducted on key players in the ecosystem to achieve this. The main elements of the ecosystem, economic, institutional, technology, and social system that earned weight, followed a decreasing trend in this order. Among the sub-elements, the payback period, upfront cost, electricity pricing scheme, energy consumption/CO2 emission reduction, and government support system ranked first to fifth places, respectively. This result can be used to determine the element in need of priority allocation of resources while establishing an effective BEMS. However, the priority depends on the development stage at which the industry is at, and other elements should not be overlooked.
