Stakeholder Engagement in the Green Building Industry: A Conceptual Framework

This paper proposes a conceptual framework for the Green Building Industry based on a detailed review of the existing scholarly sources and visual analysis tools. The study reveals an expansive and diverse stakeholder landscape, which includes government agencies, architects, community groups, investors, and environmental organizations. Notably, government agencies wield significant influence through policies and incentives, architects impact environmental performance, and community groups serve as advocates for sustainability. Sustainability metrics, such as energy efficiency and life cycle assessment, have proven central in assessing green building performance, while technological innovation, collaboration, and policy regulations drive sustainability. Future trends suggest global standard harmonization, stricter emission targets, and a focus on social innovation, with digital tools and social equity playing prominent roles in future stakeholder engagement. In conclusion, it is envisaged that this theoretical model provides a useful tool for industry practitioners in developing a more comprehensive overall green building strategy
