GREEN BUILDING POLICIES4Chapter One: Introduction and Background Information1.1. IntroductionThe aspect of environmental protection and sustainability has become an integral part of every industry. Sustainable development is aimed at meeting the needs of the current generation without compromising the right of the future generation to meet their needs with the same resource. According to Cooper, Liu, Kosasih, and Yan (2016), there are three essential aspects ofsustainable development. These include the social development, environmental protection, and economic development. However, green building has been considered as the forth component of the environment (Tam et al., 2017). Green building (GB) is the process of adopting structures by the use of processes that consider resource-efficient and environmental responsibility as the primary goal throughout the life-cycle of the building process (Ciora, Maier & Anghel, 2016). It covers the construction and design all through to maintenance, operation, deconstruction, and renovation processes. In the construction industry, green building is gaining an increased acceptance as a viable solution to achieving the growing demand for a healthy and environmentalfriendly building. Also known as the high performance or sustainable buildings, green buildings consider the comfort, durability, utility element, and economy of a building. 1.2. Background InformationIn the current global construction industry, the concept of green building is being adoptedin the global wake of environmental stewardship. With the rise in demand of healthy lifestyles, the concept of green building is taking a stole whether it is the design of an office or a house.

GREEN BUILDING POLICIES5However, there is still limited knowledge on sustainable or green building in the global construction industry. According to Tam et al. (2017), the adoption of green housing requires various rating systems for sustainable buildings as they have to meet certain standards to qualify as green building. As a result, there is a need to take into consideration the initiative and concern of green building policy adoptions while planning for the process within the industry. 1.3.Purpose of the StudyCooper et al. (2011) denote that the uptake of GB technology is not as apparent as is expected in the international construction environment. With the growing interest, there still existmany barriers that persists in adopting green building policies. The examination of these barriers is essential is it creates lack of efficiency in the potentiality of the economic and environmental benefits on the green building policies in the construction industry. Just as important is the evaluation of issues affecting the adoption of green building policies to effectively foster the implementation of sustainable building. The main aim of this study is thus to identify common challenges or barriers to effective policy adoption of initiatives in green building. The paper evaluates these aspects from the stakeholder perspectives with the aim of proposing effective recommendations that can be adopted as solutions to the policy challenges identified. 1.4. Objectives The objective of the research is to examine and evaluate the possible hindrances that need to be considered to achieve a green policy building. The result will then be a framework highlighting the obstacles in adopting the green policies with the aim of helping raise awareness on the importance and benefits of green building and it can promote a healthy lifestyle

GREEN BUILDING POLICIES6Marketing the green building will as well help in the protection of the depleting environment as an aspect that should be adopted by policymakers in planning and development of the global construction industry. Evaluating the different policies adopted by other countries on green building will as well help in the identification of the primary challenges facing the design and planning of sustainable building. 1.5. HypothesisThe hypothesis of the research will be that there are no gaps existing between the barriers. It will help in examining and evaluating the possible hindrances that need to be considered to achieve a green policy building. The result will then be a framework highlighting the obstacles in adopting the green policies with the aim of helping raise awareness on the importance and benefits of green building and it can promote a healthy lifestyle. 1.6.ConclusionIn this chapter, the study presents the general idea of the green building and how it is adopted in the global construction industry. It focuses on addressing the background information on aspects of GB and the related issues.
