Worldwide, the research agenda is needed to explore green ergonomics, manufacturing, and green building key drivers through system dynamics modelling, contributing to innovation and sustainable living. Previous research looked at green human resources and safety principles with minimal focus on translating green ergonomics principles with the lenses of industry 5.0. The emergence of smart and sustainable manufacturing to feed onto the key drivers of green ergonomics forms part of the current study's focus. The current study uses a system dynamics methodology in conceptually simulating a causal and stocks and flows with a focus on qualitative methodology. The focus is on strategic-level variables, which inform policy formulation. Stocks, flows, dynamic variables and the causal loop simulation are formulated using the Euler mathematical equation. The study formulates a framework on green ergonomics, green manufacturing and green building, inclusive of green and sustainable designs key drivers. The system dynamics approach is in response to adoption and contribution to industry 5.0.
