Purpose: Develop a decision matrix for Green Project Management Processes (GPMP) in commercial construction projects. GPMPs can assist in decoding all of the information required to make green-conscious decisions at various stages of a project.
Methodology: Integrate the environmental factors into the traditional Project Management Processes (PMPs) of major construction projects. The integrated product is worked into a process index, and the Analytical Hierarchy Processes (AHP) method is used to prioritise the GPMPs according to pre-set criteria.
Findings: Research established the theoretical backing of green practices integration in the traditional PMPs, by creating an AHP
weighted GPMP index that is linked to usable decision matrix.
Originality: Develops a fresh methodology to facilitate green decision making in the project management of commercial construction projects.
