Abstract:

Over the years, extent to which project managers are assessed with green related parameters to stimulate selection is lacking. Poor leadership affects effective planning, execution and control thereby impacting project delivery. Sustainable renovation projects are generally complex in nature as new sustainable technologies are introduced to reduce energy demand of existing buildings. To establish the research gaps, an extensive review of the literature was undertaken. Given that a selection criteria that relates closely to a project manager for green renovation is lacking, the study designed a conceptual framework to explain the scope of the research. A quantitative approach was adopted to examine the agents that influence selection of project managers for green renovation projects. A questionnaire was used to gather data of factors that impact selection of project managers in green renovation projects in Ghana. The findings of a rigorous statistical analysis indicate adequate working experience, cost of green renovation project, duration of a green renovation project, academic qualifications and knowledge of sustainable technologies are critical to the selection of project managers. Others include ability to work effectively in a team, evidence of adequate green training, green renovation projects managed and understanding of conflict management. The findings reinforce theories underpinning construction project management as selection variables for effective project delivery are addressed. The findings inform government decisions to engage project managers for green renovation projects and provide literature for teaching and learning.
