Abstract:
In the dynamic landscape of Palestinian office buildings, characterized by a diverse and
seemingly ad hoc construction approach, this master's thesis navigates the delicate balance
between investment viability and environmental sustainability. The research employs a
meticulously crafted, both qualitative and quantitative, systematic approach to pinpoint the
convergence of investment-driven economic considerations and the environmental needs of
building users. Against the socio-cultural backdrop of the Palestinian context, the study utilizes
numerical data to compellingly showcase to investors and clients the feasibility of embracing
elevated initial costs in exchange for extended payback periods. Incorporating Lean Six Sigma
Methodology, the research transcends economic analysis, delving into socio-cultural insights that
influence investment behaviors. Drawing from three selected office case studies in Hebron City,
the research offers a nuanced exploration of scenarios where environmentally conscious design
techniques are embraced. These case studies serve as illuminating reflections of prevailing
investment behaviors in the region, providing a basis to validate the viability of environmentally
oriented office buildings. The study's findings present a compelling case for the application of
environmental design in Palestinian office buildings, affirming its feasibility. The implications
and recommendations arising from this research are poised to significantly impact the decisions
of designers, planners, and key stakeholders. Ultimately, the thesis empowers investors with the
insights needed to make informed choices, enabling effective marketing of properties to potential
buyers and future occupants. Embracing sustainability becomes not just a choice but a strategic
advantage in the Palestinian real estate.
