Abstract

The impact of the construction industry on the environment has made people more and more aware that it is necessary to adopt a sustainable and responsible attitude to the current construction practices. Increasing attention has prompted the Malaysian government and professional institutions to alleviate this problem more actively without restricting development needs. The objective of this study includes identifying the types of green materials adopted in buildings, comparing the differences between green materials and common materials, and investigating the challenges of using green materials in buildings in Malaysia. A quantitative method with a questionnaire has been adopted in this study and analysis of the study is conducted by descriptive method, inferential method, and ANOVA method. Through intensive literature study, it has brought a better understanding of the types of green building materials adopted.
