Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a decision matrix for green project management processes (GPMPs) 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.
Design/methodology/approach: 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 prioritize 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/value: Develops a fresh methodology to facilitate green decision-making in the project management of commercial construction projects.
Keywords: Environmental management; Analytical hierarchy processes; Decision matrix; Green indicators; Green project management processes; Project management process.
