The Impact of Critical Factors on the Adoption of Green Building Technologies in Sri Lanka

At present, the building and construction industries have become crucial due to the growing challenges of climate change, natural disasters, and socio-economic uncertainties worldwide. Green building technologies are one of the most effective solutions, promoting sustainable development in the environment, economy, and society within the construction industry. To effectively adopt green building technologies, it is crucial to identify and explore the key critical factors that influence successful implementation. This paper aims to explore the adoption of Green Building Technologies, focusing on the perspectives of specialists in the construction industry. While global implementation has shown success in the adoption of green building technologies within the construction industry, their application in developing countries, particularly in Sri Lanka, remains limited. In this study, a quantitative review was conducted, focusing on key factors derived from the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The current research is completely focused on the stakeholders’ adoption behavior and solely uses descriptive statistical analysis to find out the critical factors influencing the application of Green Building Technologies. Findings revealed the strategies for overcoming barriers and enhancing the uptake of sustainable building practices in Sri Lanka, ultimately contributing to the environmental and economic development goals of the country. The article provides professionals and other industry stakeholders useful insights about the foreseeable future of the country’s construction sector.
