Zusammenfassung
The objective of this study was to assess the perceptions, barriers, and knowledge level of various engineering firms in Jordan with regards to green building and to gather some engineering insights into the future of green construction. Results of this survey were analyzed together with an in depth desk review of the status of green buildings in Jordan. Green buildings are viewed as the cornerstone of sustainable development since the construction sector is central to economic development and employment. Green buildings provide a set of added benefits in terms of water and energy saving but they suffer from certain market barriers and lack of professional expertise. The construction sector has the potential for water and energy saving which will contribute to environmental sustainability.
