总结: | Sustainability is significant to the government policies. However, it has not been integrated into property development and investment practices in Malaysia. This is because the progress to develop the culture of sustainability among local building stakeholders is rather slow. One of the important challenges in adopting green building in Malaysia is lack of legislative framework for green technology. Thus, the aim of this research was to establish regulatory requirements in implementing green building for private housing projects through semi-structured interview analysis and doctrinal research. The qualitative research focused on three areas, namely: (a) exploring the barriers faced by the private housing developer, (b) assessing the existing policies and regulations related to sustainability, and (c) proposing the regulatory requirements in implementing green building projects in Malaysia. The content analysis, meta-analysis, and doctrinal research are important in this research to establish the regulatory requirements of green building implementation towards promoting sustainability in the built environment and raising environmental awareness. Eventually, this research established twelve regulatory requirements for the industry to formulate green regulations, policies, and building codes for its future implementation. © 2019, Construction Research Institute of Malaysia.
