During Received March 8 2019 the past few decades there has been tremendous efforts to reduce the negative effects of Received in revised format construction operations on environment. This paper presents an application of data envelop- April 2 2019 ment analysis to measure the relative efficiencies of the researches accomplished by various Accepted April 2 2019 Available online countries around the world on green construction or green management. The study expects April 3 2019 countries that produce higher amount of CO2 accomplish more quality research articles. To Keywords do this the study performs a survey using three keywords namely green construction Green construction green building and sustainable building on Scopus database and found 8692 articles over Green building the period 1965-2019 where one of these keywords at least was used in their abstracts Green project keywords or titles. We also use three measures of h-index I-10 and total publications repre- DEA sentative of quality and quantity of the outputs produced by researchers.
