  • Abstract:
    The demand for sustainable buildings is an important emerging trend in the building industry. However, the task of delivering these facilities is more difficult than for traditional projects and existing project management techniques struggle to handle the high levels of complexity present. A process-based model, called the continuous value enhancement process (CVEP), was developed to systematically generate and evaluate project alternatives leading to high performance solutions that improve project performance and increase levels of sustainability. Developed specifically to address the challenges facing the Pentagon renovation—which will become the world’s largest green office renovation—CVEP is tested to research its ability to support project management decision making in ways that elevate sustainability and project performance. The key contributions of this model include the integration of sustainable objectives into project management practices, and the development of a metric for measuring the quality and focus of project team decisions.
