Abstract
The number of green buildings in New Zealand is increasing. One of the main drivers for this increase is the intention to reduce energy consumption. Locally relevant planning and management tools for "green buildings" at operational level are required. Constructing green buildings does not ensure energy-efficient performance. Facilities' management plays an important role in achieving energy-efficient performance. Energy-management strategies have been identified from the literature and tested against current practice. These strategies are tested using case studies to examine the extent to which facilities' management implement energy-efficient measures. Results show green technologies that were inefficient during the operational phase and found that measures to engage occupants in energy conservation goal vary in effectiveness.

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
