Abstract | Promoting the stewardship of sustainable development is considered an essential component of business processes in all walks of life. By fully considering the external factors that could affect the achievement of long-term value, Chinese commercial developers have initiated sustainable design technologies to reduce pollution and the extra environmental costs associated with construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning activities involved. This paper investigates the sustainable technologies applicable in the process of developing commercial projects and their implementation by presenting an exemplification framework for achieving building efficiency and sustainability. A list of green technologies applied in the sustainable buildings is investigated. By comparing the differences in two real world projects, it is found that most of the sustainable technologies involved have been implemented in the planning, control and construction stages, while being virtually ignored in the operation and maintenance stages. The paper also concludes that it is difficult to provide mutual benefits among various stakeholders in achieving sustainability objectives. The more challenging task of creating a demonstrable concern for a healthy and green built environment needs to be addressed in the future. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. |
