Abstract

Green building construction is primarily concerned with the community's well-being in terms of environmental, social, and economic issues. The biggest contributor to the pollution problem is green construction activities, which deplete natural resources in order to obtain construction materials, generate wastes, and emit dangerous gases throughout the construction process. Therefore, the introduction of green building technology and materials is to replace the conventional construction method in order to lessen the environmental problems caused by housing development. Green materials and technology practices reduce waste generated by buildings and use renewable resources to replace non-renewable sources. This research is conducted by using the quantitative research method by asking the experienced construction firm employers. A set questionnaire that consists of the details of respondents, types of green building technologies, benefits and barriers is produced and send out to 100 respondents in the construction industry. This research will increase the awareness and improve the knowledge of green building technology of the people. This will encourage more construction firm to apply the green building technology in the future development.
