Assessment of green public procurement specifications in government institutions: Case study in Central Java, Indonesia

Abstract

The construction industry has always been the biggest contributor to environmental damage. With the emergence of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and Mayor Regulation Number 24 of 2019 concerning green buildings and Presidential Regulation in Indonesia concerning the importance of green industry products in the procurement process led to the emergence of urgency for the construction sector to create a focus on green. One focus that needs to be considered because contributing a large role in the construction process from beginning to end is the procurement process. The problem that occurs is that there is no awareness from Project Manager in Central Java is regarding environmental aspects in making procurement specifications. This is evident because the consideration of certification of Environmental Impact Assessment, and Occupational Health and Safety Regulation has not yet been taken into consideration in the specification of Project Manager considerations. As a result, government buildings have 46% lower energy efficiency compared to private buildings. With the DEMATEL method, it was found that the criteria "lowest bid value", "Reducing the use of hazardous materials", "Minimizing energy consumption", "Minimizing energy loss", "Clarifying environmentally friendly fuels", "Impact on the environment during and after construction", "Work procedures"; "Supervision", and "Frequency of failure"is a criterion that is considered to influence other criteria is greater and can be an urgency for the government of Central Java.
