| Abstract | Sustainability is becoming an important subject these days in many countries around the world. This is mainly due to increasing governmental and public awareness about reducing the impacts of climate change on our environment. Green buildings are able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of natural resources. Reducing either water or energy consumption is achieved in green buildings with the aid of certain types of advanced technologies. This is done in order to help these buildings become more environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, these technologies are relatively new and may present a number of risks during various phases of their lifecycles, affecting different project stakeholders. This paper will focus on the risks of energy efficient and renewable technologies (EERTs), which are mainly implemented in green office buildings. These risks are divided into four categories: heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, solar, and wind. It will present a comprehensive review of a number of risks pertaining to the application of EERTs. Furthermore, it will emphasize the need to create a risk management framework for EERTs implemented in green office buildings due to the current lack of research carried out to investigate and treat these potential risks. |
