Analysis of Sustainable Construction Technology Management for Green Building Projects in Bahrain and the Philippines

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Sustainability has become a critical challenge across industries, requiring the reevaluation of traditional practices due to climate change. This study analyzed the policies and frameworks guiding green building construction and examined why some non-certified sustainable construction projects fall short in implementing sustainable strategies. Using a quantitative approach, structured questionnaires were distributed to 201 respondents, including engineers, architects, and green building users, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected from respondents to measure key metrics such as energy efficiency, water use and conservation, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation in design and historical development, and were analyzed using weighted means, frequency counts, and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) via SPSS. Results showed that green building policies and frameworks were generally rated as Satisfactorily Complied, with 75% of requirements complied with the green building technology, reflecting adequate alignment with sustainability objectives. However, implementation levels varied across domains with a p-value less than 0.05, with interpretation of significant differences along energy efficiency, water conservation, material use, innovation, and historical development. These differences highlight the influence of regional priorities and enforcement practices. The study recommends stronger enforcement mechanisms, greater innovation in sustainable technologies, and enhanced collaboration among stakeholders. Regular policy updates and incentives for sustainable practices are essential for continuous improvement. To address disparities between Bahrain and the Philippines, harmonizing strategies on energy efficiency, water conservation, and material use through regional collaboration and knowledge sharing is strongly advised.
