Abstract

Green building or widely known as green construction preserves most of the resource competence throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. Green building has become increasingly on-demand and important in Malaysia, however, still has not become the interest of all groups in the construction industry. While there is a wide range of welfares for the society, the development of green building still agonizes from different kinds of market barriers which seem to hinder the implementation of the green building in developing countries including Malaysia. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate possible barriers in implementing green building in construction firm around Kedah State. In this research, the respondents were conducted among the management team and the method applied for collecting data is qualitative. The results from the interview show that lack of credit resources and lack of awareness are the major barriers in implementing green building in the construction firm. This knowledge contributes to the implementation of green building in the construction firm.
