How to adapt existing building stock is a problem being addressed by local and state governments worldwide. In most developed countries we now spend more on building adaptation than on new construction and there is an urgent need for greater knowledge and awareness of what happens to commercial buildings over time. Sustainable Building Adaptation: innovations in decision-making is a significant contribution to understanding best practice in sustainable adaptations to existing commercial buildings by offering new knowledge-based theoretical and practical insights. Models used are grounded in results of case studies conducted within three collaborative construction project team settings in Australia and the Netherlands, and exemplars are drawn from the Americas, Asia, Japan, Korea and Europe to demonstrate the application of the knowledge more broadly. Results clearly demonstrate that the new models can assist with informed decision-making in adaptation that challenges some of the prevailing solutions based on empirical approaches and which do not accommodate the sustainability dimension. The emphasis is on demonstrating how the new knowledge can be applied by practitioners to deliver professionally relevant outcomes. The book offers guidance towards a balanced approach that incorporates sustainable and optimal approaches for effective management of sustainable adaptation of existing commercial buildings.

Modeling Risk Factors on Expected Bids in Certified Sustainable Construction available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. ABSTRACT: Current research shows that a high-performance building (HPB) that is certified as such under a rating system such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) building rating system developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) demonstrate an increase in construction costs over the cost of traditional projects that do not pursue LEED certification (Steven Winter Associates 2004). This increase is often evident in projects that are produced by designers, builders and other involved parties that have extensive experience and education in the construction of buildings that incorporate many of the design features and construction techniques that are included in HPBs. The purpose of this study is to propose a model that examines potential cost increases over traditional buildings of similar construction. This study reviews bid strategy and risk aversion models to explain the impacts of certification level, experience, location, perceived risk, and the risk behaviors of bidding contractors on the pricing of high-performance buildings. This study proposes that this increase in costs is related to the perceived risk involved in the construction of a project that pursues green certification, the level of certification pursued, and the individual risk behaviors of the contractors that are operating in a particular bidding climate.
