Influencing Factors of the Development of Green Building by Designers Based on Grounded Theory

Abstract

—Green building has become a trend in the development of future buildings, thereby significantly changing the general direction of building development and creating an environment for sustainable development. In this study, 40 designers were selected to conduct in-depth interviews using the grounded theory method, and the interview data were deeply extracted, resulting in four core categories, namely technology determination, personnel resources, technology management, and economic factors. This study aimed to construct a theoretical framework around the core categories and analyse their relationship, explore the influencing factors of the development of green building in China from the perspective of designers, and encourage effectively improved development of green building.
