Construction projects include several dynamic features consisting feedback structures, time lag and nonlinearity in cause-effect relationships among project fundamentals. These aspects cause projects to act in complex conditions, which are incomprehensible, unforeseen and difficult to manage. Therefore, during project processes, development of project performance acquires creating mental models and decision heuristics. This article seeks to develop our knowledge capacity about relationships of project parameters in the context of building energy efficiency concept. The objective of the study is to provide a feedback mechanism based on building structure, retrofitting action and also end-user behavior. At the end of the paper, suggested feedback model is analyzed and general behavior of the system is evaluated.
