Abstract

There are various frameworks for selecting sustainable building materials around the globe. However, it is difficult to get literature that describes their common characteristics, so the purpose of this paper is to try to provide a general framework for architects, and designers based on the literature review only. After conducting a thorough and systematic literature review, the number of observations for each data point shown as a percentage frequency distribution, which typically represented using tables. The process of creating a percentage frequency distribution entails first determining the total number of sustainable building material selection categories (such as economic, environmental, technical, social, and so on) to be represented, then identifying sustainable building material items (subcategories) within each category based on different authors' ideas to be represented. Finally, a general framework for sustainable building material selection developed. Finally, the proposed framework, which based on the sustainable triple bottom line concept, includes three dimensions: different authors frequently select economics (72%), environment (54%), and social (36%). Alternatively, it convert into a percentage of a hundred, it will be 44.50%, 33.3%, and 22.2%, respectively. As a result, we can conclude that when a designer selects a material, it is better to consider the three critical dimensions that are economic, environmental, and social factors.
