Abstract

Value Management (VM) is a multi-disciplinary process, consist of team oriented, structured, analytical process and systematic analysis of function, to seeks best value in the project process and meet the clients needs. While the important of Energy Efficiency (EE) in buildings is a must nowadays because of energy consumption rising very high and this situation occurs not only in developed countries but also in developing countries such as Malaysia. In fact, there is demand towards building with energy efficiency features at this time, however most of the current buildings types are still being constructed with conventional designs thus contribute to inefficient of energy consumption during the operation stage of the building. Based on the relevant literatures, VM has provides an efficient and effective delivery system to fulfil the objectives and clients requirements. Therefore, this paper presents the concept and the application of VM approach and potential to improve energy efficiency within pre-construction process and contribute to better optimize the energy consumption in a building by seeking the best value energy efficiency through the design and construction process.

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between technology and green technology implementation. Besides that, the author also determines the effect of government support as moderator to the relationship between technology and green technology implementation. The respondents for this study are three hundred and eighty-four (384) staff from Malaysian Public Universities in northern region. The primary data (using questionnaire) then were analysed using Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) by referring to Pearson Correlation, Hierarchical regression and Simple Slope analysis. The finding from Pearson Correlation shows that technology has a positive relationship with green technology implementation. Hierarchical Regression and Simple Slope analysis confirmed that government support moderates the relationship between technology and green technology implementation. Keywords green technology implementation, public university, moderator, hierarchical regression, government support, green supply chain
