Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to present an analysis of the Interpretive Structure Model (ISM) and the Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification (MICMAC) as a tool to classify the specific importance of the key strategies to advancing Net-Zero Carbon procurement (NZCP) and their relationships. The hierarchical relationship between the twelve NZCP strategies helps to propose solutions to promote Net-Zero Carbon Building development in the Vietnamese construction industry more closely and more effectively. These main NZCP strategies are grouped into 03 large groups containing 12 sub-NZCP strategies, which are identified through survey results from eight Net-Zero Carbon Building strategies experts. The results showed that the cluster "Drivers", including S1 Developing NZC Procurement Strategies and S2 Policies and Establishing NZC Procurement standards, has the strongest impact on advancing Net-Zero Carbon procurement in Vietnam.
