The construction sector plays an important role in environmental sustainable development and the green economy. Green technology innovation in the construction sector can improve the energy, cost, and environmental performance of the industry. The lagging effects of influential factors for green technology innovation have yet to be fully understood. This study aims to explore the process of green technology innovation in large construction companies based on the innovation value chain theory and through a system dynamics (SD) approach. The results revealed the dynamic interaction between various influencing factors of green technology innovation in the construction industry. The effects of different knowledge bases and market shares show heterogeneity when the influencing factors are considered as an integrated system. The study helps researchers and practitioners gain a better understanding of the nature of green technology innovation from a systematic view. Suggestions are provided for decision-makers and practitioners to better manage green technology innovation.
建筑行业在环境可持续发展和绿色经济中发挥着重要作用。建筑行业的绿色技术创新可以提高行业的能源、成本和环境绩效。绿色技术创新影响因素的滞后效应尚未被充分理解。本研究旨在基于创新价值链理论，并通过系统动力学（SD）方法，探索大型建筑公司的绿色技术创新过程。研究结果揭示了建筑行业绿色技术创新中各种影响因素之间的动态相互作用。当将影响因素视为一个整体系统时，不同知识基础和市场份额的影响表现出异质性。本研究有助于研究人员和从业者从系统的角度更好地理解绿色技术创新的本质。为决策者和从业者提供了更好地管理绿色技术创新的建议。
