Description
Summary:Hospitals rank among the most energy-intensive public building typologies and offer substantial potential for carbon mitigation. However, their construction phase has received limited scholarly attention within China’s ‘dual carbon’ agenda. To address this research gap, this study develops and empirically validates an integrated Technology Acceptance Model and Technology-Organization-Environment framework tailored for hospital construction projects. The study not only identifies 12 critical adoption factors but also offers recommendations and discusses the relevance to multiple Sustainable Development Goals. This research provides both theoretical and practical insights for promoting sustainable hospital construction practices.
