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 |
