Making decisions about the selection of energy efficiency building construction is one of the sustainable construction key. Therefore it is crucial to identify criteria that can influence the choice of energy efficient common building structure systems. The main purpose of this paper explores the energy efficiency criteria for common building structure systems. Thus, the paper adopts a conceptual approach by using current literature on energy efficiency. The paper shows a wide range for the energy efficiency criteria for common building structure systems. This range in reported figures is due to the use of common different building structure systems through different LCA methodologies and different boundaries. For that reason, this paper contributes to the literature by providing deeper insights into the energy efficiency criteria influencing the selection of energy efficiency common building structure systems. The paper also present a new approach that will support energy efficiency termed ‘energy efficiency common building structure systems’. And this will opens several interesting avenues for future research.
