Abstract
The trend of China’s construction industry has gradually shifted from traditional high-consumption to efficient green development mode to achieve the new goals of energy conservation, emission reduction, and sustainable development. The successful development of green housing (GH) has become a major strategic choice. Given the smooth implementation and delivery of GH projects, this study aimed to assess the impact of critical success factors (CSFs) on GH development by identifying controllable CSFs. Firstly, 20 controllable CSFs were identified through literature review. Secondly, the data collected by the questionnaire were used for principal component analysis (PCA). The factor analysis showed that the CSFs can be summarised into five important principal components, namely, (1) project management factors, (2) personnel ability factors, (3) teamwork-oriented factors, (4) human resource factors, and (5) financial and constraint factors. Finally, multiple regression analysis was used to assess the importance of CSFs. Results showed that project management factors, personnel capacity factors, and financial and constraint factors exerted positive impact on the successful development of the projects, with project management factors having the greatest impact. This work provides not only useful information and practical guidance for enterprises in GH development practice but also certain reference value for building a sustainable development society in China.
Highlights
As a pillar of China’s economic development, the construction industry accounts for a large proportion of energy consumption and environmental pollution [1]
Systematic awareness of the critical success factors (CSFs) of green housing (GH) is lacking in terms of the design, construction, management, and operation phases [20, 21], thereby hindering the sustainable development of GH. In view of these issues, this study aims to (1) identify CSFs for GH and (2) assess the impact of CSFs on project management objectives. e results are expected to fill the gaps in GH project management research and provide useful information and practical guidance on GH development practices
On the basis of the results of regression analysis, this study focuses on a detailed discussion of the five components that affect the successful development of GH projects
Summary
As a pillar of China’s economic development, the construction industry accounts for a large proportion of energy consumption and environmental pollution [1]. Erefore, shifting from traditional high-consumption to efficient green development mode is an inevitable trend in the construction industry [3]. Several countries advocate new goals for energy conservation, emission reduction, and sustainable development in the construction industry and green building (GB) has become a strategic choice worldwide [4]. As an important form of GB, green housing (GH) is a new housing model designed and built based on the principle of sustainable symbiosis between man and nature and the principle of efficient utilisation of resources, which can make the internal and external material energy systems of the house virtuous cycle and achieve a certain
