Abstract

Sustainability principles need to be applied at all the stages of the decision-making process concerning the building of urban housing to realize maximum benefits without compromising the project’s function. This paper aims to investigate the applicability of radio frequency identification (RFID) and identify the barriers that impede its successful adoption in building projects to achieve sustainability in building. The literature was reviewed, and data were derived by complementing the quantitative technique. A questionnaire was employed to gather data from 107 stakeholders in the building industry in Nigeria. The data were scrutinized using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique. The partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was also applied to create a model for embracing RFID tools for sustainable building. The results of EFA revealed that the RFID barriers could be classified into significant constructs: infrastructure, immaturity, privacy, and security. The PLS-SEM model revealed that infrastructure was the most significant barrier to RFID implementation in the building industry. Thus, this study’s findings could aid decision makers in facilitating sustainability approaches in buildings projects through RFID implementation. These results would further lay the basis for objectively measuring and valuing the diverse barriers impacting RFID implementation.
