Abstract


In the fast developing Mainland China, among the huge number of new construction project, green building constitute only a very small portion. This paper tries to figure out the factors that restrain the development of green building in Mainland China by carrying out surveys among construction professionals and university researchers. Fifteen barriers that may affect the development of green building negatively are identified from literature review, and factor analysis of the survey result extracts five independent principle factors behind these barriers: Techniques and Finance, Green Environment, Stakeholder Involvement, Motivation, and Management. The importance of management is especially emphasized by the survey result. Furthermore, a second survey is carried out two years later to monitor the change of importance of the five factors.
