Although adopting the idea of passive design in developing countries is incomplete, these studies have focused on the reasons for doing so. In contrast, there is limited evidence to completely analyze the influence of integrating passive design on the project sustainable success (PSS) of projects throughout their existence. This study focuses on the hurdles to passive design adoption in Pakistani building projects. It evaluates the impact of overcoming passive design (PD) adoption barriers on project sustainability success (PSS) during the duration of the project. Therefore, a more comprehensive literature assessment is required for conceptual model construction. Using a survey assessment instrument, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was constructed (i.e., a questionnaire). A total of 156 construction experts in Pakistan provided information. The result of the model demonstrated that the elimination of PD implementation obstacles had a moderate to high impact on PSS throughout the building structure�s lifetime. These results provide the foundation for legislation in a number of Asian nations about the efficient completion of projects via the removal of obstacles for the use of passive design. Similarly, the adoption of passive design will increase the success of the construction project. © 2023 by the authors. date: 2023 publisher: MDPI official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85161584252&doi=10.3390%2fsu15118954&partnerID=40&md5=669264ce336babebf67ef67744eac5b1 id_number: 10.3390/su15118954 full_text_status: none publication: Sustainability (Switzerland) volume: 15 number: 11 refereed: TRUE issn: 20711050 citation: Waqar, A. and Othman, I. and Shafiq, N. and Altan, H. and Ozarisoy, B.
