Abstract

This research aimed to study the guidelines for green building operations in Thailand’s construction industry and develop a structural equation model (SEM). According to global trends in sustainable development goals, issues about energy resources, pollution, and human surroundings are concerning. Each country’s green building criteria or discipline topics will be developed and improved for their condition. The research analysis emphasised the green building industry using descriptive, reference, and multiple statistics. The research results show guidelines for green building operation in 4 aspects. Each component aspect’s names are (1) Environment Arrangement, (2) Collaborative Creation, (3) Knowledge Management and (4) Technology Development. The hypothesis test showed that the difference in enterprise sizes revealed overall aspects that were not significantly different at 0.05. The analysis of the developed structural equation model showed that it was in accordance and harmony with the empirical data and passed the evaluation criteria. Its Chi-square probability level, relative Chi-square, the goodness of fit index, and root mean square error of approximation was 0.184, 1.084, 0.959, and 0.013, respectively.
