Abstract

This study investigates the impact of IT product management, digital supply chain optimization, energy efficiency, and environmental design on sustainable building performance. The purpose of this research is to understand how these four key factors contribute to achieving sustainability in building performance, a critical aspect for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental footprint. A quantitative research design was employed, using a survey questionnaire to collect data from professionals in the building and construction industry in Pakistan. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess the relationships between the variables. The findings reveal that energy efficiency has the most significant positive impact on sustainable building performance, followed closely by digital supply chain optimization and environmental design. IT product management, while important, demonstrated a comparatively lower effect but was found to be essential for supporting other sustainability-related processes. The results suggest that organizations aiming to improve their sustainable performance should prioritize energy-efficient practices, optimize their supply chains through digital solutions, and integrate environmental considerations into their building designs. The study concludes with recommendations for businesses and policymakers to foster a more sustainable approach to building performance, emphasizing the need for an integrated strategy combining technology, efficiency, and environmental design.
