Green Solution Operation: Time, Cost, and Industry Perception in Implementing Green Solutions for Low-Cost Housing Projects in the Philippines

The construction industry has a significant impact to rapid economic growth and development resulting to some serious ecological challenges. Hence, the use of green solutions has become increasingly utilized as a factor to sustainability. This study aims to provide a reasonable evaluation on the integration of green solutions to low-cost housing in the Philippines. This is undertaken to further improve the justification of using green construction methods with focus to time, cost, and overall project scheduling. This research uses a quantitative approach through online and face-to-face surveys focusing on green solutions’ impact to schedule delays and accelerations; to various green building techniques such as energy efficiency, resource utilization and maintenance cost; and lastly, to planning and execution phases of the project. Using the RRLs, the researchers recognize the viewpoints perceived from conventional building techniques to green building techniques. Through presenting these comparisons and by offering practical recommendations, the study identifies the strategic planning perspectives for green solution adoption and contributes to achieving sustainability and affordability to the construction industry specifically in low-cost housing projects in the Philippines.
