Quantifying the Green Efficiency of the Construction Industry in China
China’s construction industry has long been in the extensive development mode of “high pollution and high energy consumption.” As the ecological civilization strategy deepens in China, improving the energy and environmental efficiency of the construction industry is vital for the sector’s green transition. To define and quantify the “Green Efficiency” of the construction industry, this study integrated greenhouse gas (GHG), air pollutant emissions, and energy consumption into the efficiency evaluation framework, which was established using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist models to measure China’s provincial green efficiency from 2010 to 2015. The results show that due to the low level of technological development, the green efficiency of the construction industry in central China is generally low, but the central provinces rank higher in the national green efficiency system when compared with conventional (excluding green considerations) efficiency system. The enhancement of green efficiency in the northeast and central provinces is slow. At last, this study also shed light on directions for the green development of China's construction industry.
