“…The space intensity category measures the efficient use of space. Ideally, the smaller the construction area occupied by temporary facilities, the more space is left for facility movement and layout changes [29]. Li and Liu [66], Abotaleb et al [16], and Chakraborty and Banik [68] studied the optimal layout design and presented attributes for space intensity.…”

“…The traveling time of heavy equipment when working in a construction project is related to the distance between car parks from the main areas of construction, and this directly affects carbon emissions during construction [27,28]. Implementing green goals at the construction phase could improve environmental performance [29], and is considered to be a key feature of the next generation of green performance evaluation models [30]. Furthermore, it is well-known that appropriate planning for green building can be done at a low cost in the early stages of construction with enormous savings later [31].…”

The location of temporary facilities in a construction project and the entire site layout plan directly affect project objectives such as time, labor cost, and material transportation and handling. The layout of construction sites also affects entrainment factors such as energy consumption, carbon footprints, and overall construction operation productivity. While site layout planning has been intensively investigated from a project objectives perspective, there have been very few studies of energy-efficiency-based planning, or of the sustainability performance of site layouts. This study developed a green performance evaluation system aimed at improving the sustainability of construction site layouts. The identified factors include six sustainable evaluation categories covering energy conservation and environmental protection, people-oriented principles, construction efficiency, intensity of economic growth, intensity of space use, and the overall control of process. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was adopted to determine the weight of each attribute and a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was established to carry out the evaluation. The 23 attributes adopted in this paper were identified in the literature; however, the major contribution of this paper is the development of a green performance evaluation system. This system integrates both qualitative and quantitative attributes and provides an overall evaluation of the environmental effectiveness of a construction site layout. The proposed evaluation system was validated with a commercial building project. The average utilization ratio of the case study site was calculated as 94%, and lessons learned are discussed in this paper. The case study analysis identified available site spaces around the building and examined how the arrangement of resources and facilities ensures effective connection between construction activities. The findings showed that the facility’s layout plays a crucial role in energy consumption and green performance. The proposed system will support construction project managers to create high-performance construction site layouts in more scientific and systematic ways.

“…Furthermore, it is easy to understand the development of green building, new energy saving and environmental protection construction, which leads to change stability of regional industrial structure, for example, it is inevitable to increase the development of transportation industry by altering the mode of production from the traditional on-site mixing construction to transport and install the components. From the operation process of the model building, we can find that the extension of the vertical development of the green building increasingly changes the traditional industrial manufacturing field into the service industry [44,45].…”

Developing Green Building (GB) is one of the most effective measures to save energy and reduce carbon emissions in the world. To promote the development of green building, it is necessary to analyze driving factors and contribution through the analysis for relationship between regional economy and green building. Therefore, based on the system dynamic(SD) theory, this paper constructs the structure model of the stock flow diagram, including the regional economic subsystem, social subsystem, government support subsystem and green building subsystem. Among the model, Guangdong province, as the most prosperous province of economic development with the largest numbers of certified green buildings in China, has been chosen to show the influence level of their relationship. Through simulation, results can be easily shown that development of GB can make contributions to the field of local economy, however, also be limited by the regional condition, including policy incentive, regional economic, technological, etc. We can also find that direct contribution to the GDP the Green Building made can reach about 2.47 ‰, and 9.23 ‰ indirectly. If the current level of regional production is stable, it can be found that each additional 10,000 square meters of green area building may produce about ¥018.2 million for economy. On the contrary, that the regional economy investment in fixed assets increased by ¥1 million can stimulate 0.001648 million square meter demand of GB. Additionally, employment opportunities directly or indirectly have also been considered.
