Assessing Sustainable Practices: A Systematic Literature Review of Green Rating Frameworks for Pre-engineered Steel Buildings

Abstract

Background: There is a growing interest in eco-friendliness in the building business, prompting the creation of green grading systems. Modern construction relies heavily on pre-engineered steel structures, and the efficiency with which they use their resources is of critical significance.
 Objective: The purpose of this SLR is to give a synopsis of the literature on pre-engineered steel building green rating frameworks. Our goal is to review the literature, draw conclusions, and recommend ways to improve sustainable building methods.
 Methodology: The SLR employs a methodical approach that includes extensive searches of major academic databases and scholarly sources. To pick appropriate and high-quality literature, we define inclusion and exclusion criteria. The studies chosen undergo a thorough evaluation of their methodology.
 Findings: This analysis traces the history of sustainability grading systems and how they have developed to include pre-engineered steel construction. Energy efficiency, materials, design, and life cycle analysis are common topics that keep popping up in the research. This analysis also highlights the study highlights the practical usefulness of these frameworks for industry stakeholders.
 Conclusion: This SLR helps fill up the gaps in our knowledge of existing green rating systems for prefab steel structures. This shows the importance of these frameworks in influencing sustainable building practices and calls for further study and innovation in this area. The results provide helpful information for those working in the field, as well as academics and politicians studying the construction business.
