Research Question
What are the main issues or hurdles faced in the
policy adoption and implementation of Green
Building Technologies in the construction industry
of Australia?
Purpose of the study:
 Examine barriers that persist in adopting green building policies
 evaluation of issues affecting the adoption of green building policies
 identify common challenges to effective policy adoption of green
building

Research Objectives
The concerned research aims to study the different hurdles and
issues which are found in the aspects of implementation of
policies regarding green building initiatives in the construction
industry
Construction industry and their perceptions regarding the
viability and need of implementation of green building policies,
in the economy of Australia

Motivation for the Research
 To check Technologies vis-à-vis conventional ones in the construction industry
in Australia?
 To check Are there sufficient databases and information available regarding
the adoption as well as profitability and sustainability of such technologies?
 To check What are the benefits perceived by the stakeholders from
implementation of the GB technologies?
 To check What are the threats perceived by the stakeholders from the
implementation of the GB technologies?
 To check What are the cost advantages or disadvantages of implementation of
GB technologies over conventional ones?
 To check What is the level of trust prevailing in the industry and among the
different stakeholders behind the implementation of the same?

Significance of the Research
 With the rise in demand of healthy lifestyles as well as with the increase in the
global concern regarding the environmental preservation and prevention of
greenhouse emissions, the concept of green building is taking a stole whether it is
the design of an office or a house

 The study is limited to a sample of population.
 Due to time and cost, the questionnaire will rely on small sample of those who were issued
with survey questions.
 The research specifically concentrates on the respondents in Australia
