Mohamad Bohari, Asmah Alia B (2017) Exploring the potential for green-oriented procurement in building projects: A case of the Malaysian construction industry. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
This thesis provides a way forward for a green construction in Malaysia in exploring the potential of green-oriented procurement of building projects in the Malaysian construction industry. The research outcomes contribute to knowledge and practice by not only developing a green-oriented procurement model for use as a planning tool, but also triggering an increased awareness of project teams and practitioners of the need for greener construction.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
