| description | Sustainable building projects are naturally different from conventional projects due to the requirement
of special materials and building practices, as well as the management commitment to sustainability.
Therefore, a sustainable building project requires additional considerations on many aspects more
than the conventional project. Although there are many researches on the paybacks of a sustainable
building, nevertheless, huge numbers of barriers also contributes to the multiple failing of the projects
within the market such as knowledge gaps, communication shortfall, ownership structure and
operating cost responsibility, funding issues and the risks, and other technical and process issues.
Many researchers believe that project planning process holds the strategic position in overcoming the
barriers all together. Modifications should be made to the traditional planning process and practices in
order to minimize risks and improve the chances of delivering the project successfully. This paper
offers ideas and recommendations on the initial concept of sustainability integration strategies that
can be practiced throughout the project planning process towards delivering a successful
performance of a sustainable building. The concept is very useful to be a starting point for the
development of a practical ‘Sustainability Integration Framework’ during the planning process of a
sustainable building project in the future. |
