Recognizing of Building Components to Achieve Green Performance for Renovation and Retrofitting Works

Abstract

Renovation and retrofitting have differing meanings. The term renovation refers to the process of returning something to a good state of repair. In the construction industry, improvement relates to the method of improving or modernizing an old, damaged, or defective building. The opposed to a term of retrofitting which is providing something with a component or feature not fitted initially. Retrofitting means giving something with a part or not installed during manufacture or adding something that it did not have when first constructed. Otherwise, it used as improving the health of occupants or increasing the building adaptability, durability, and resiliency. The strategy of green achievement is the purpose of the research. This state of the art is providing how researchers to understand the achievement strategy from building components. To provide a clear overview for the reader, which are building components in Green Building. Then Green building is one of the measures forward to mitigate significant impacts of the building stock on the environment, society, and economy. Professional for respondents taken from three which has differed on AMSL and climate, exploring for knowledge and practices profiles. However, this paper consists of a critical review of the existing body of knowledge of researches related to the strategies of green building achievement. The research themes and findings identified. These universal themes are the definition and scope of renovation and retrofitting on green building, and discussions approach to achieve green buildings by researchers how recognizing the building comIponents. It found that the emphasis played predominately focus on knowledge of professional role as the aspects which are affecting green building achievement. Future research opportunities were identified, such as climatic of all countries to consider green building assessment tools and future-proofing on preconstruction. We suggest developing an awareness of managing and controlling preconstruction work for achieving green achievement. Moreover, it could develop to the next research on developing a strategy on green construction for construction management and project management.
