dc.description.abstract There are numerous definitions of sustainable development, but the most frequently cited definition comes from “Our Common Future”, is the Sri Lankan construction industry moving towards a sustainable future? This can be considered a topic worth rigorous investigation. Sustainability does not impose a constraint on the construction industry, the building sector has a substantial global potential to help protect the environment, which is lacking in Sri Lanka and further, it will resolve the current energy crisis up to a certain extent facilities management specialists in Sri Lanka have realised the importance of their work in the development of sustainable structures, method of providing a solution to the aforementioned problems The existing literature reveals a deficiency in theoretical and empirical knowledge on the use of sustainable buildings in the construction industry. Therefore, the research therefore aims to develop a framework that can be used to achieve sustainable buildings in Sri Lanka, through the facilities manager’s role. As a result, four objectives were set for the research. This study's methodology combines a literature review with an interview, and content analysis of relevant literature, through a systematic approach. Following this, a questionnaire and interview survey was conducted for data collection (purposive sampling method to be used for data collection with facilities managers who are registered members of the Institute of Facilities Management Sri Lanka - IFMSL). Further, the proposed framework will be validated and tested on an actual construction by adopting field research methodologies. The developed framework can be used as a no prescriptive guide by facilities managers in achieving sustainable buildings in Sri Lanka. This framework improves knowledge and comprehension of what makes a sustainable building as well as the facilities manager's contribution to the creation of sustainable buildings at the design, construction, and operation stages. Further, the study will give an understanding of the need for sustainable building, and knowledge of constituents that make a sustainable building in order to encourage the drivers and mitigate the barriers to sustainable building practice in the Sri Lankan construction industry en_US
