A) Topic background
C) Related incentive
1. Incentives and Policies: Green building has evolved into a necessary cornerstone
in the building sector, with countries around the world adopting their own green
building programs and standards. These initiatives have contributed to notable
progress in reducing building sector energy consumption and environmental
impact, with a growing emphasis on the residential sector. The implementation of
green technology in construction supports dynamic growth of economic
development activities while improving the environment.
FINDINGS
5. Policies and Incentives: Green building initiatives and policies have been
implemented in various countries to encourage the use of green technology in
construction. These incentives help drive sustainable and environmentally
responsible construction practices.

B) Related/current issues
Some of the current issues in Malaysia related to green technology and green
buildings include:
1. Slow rate of adoption: Despite the growing interest in green building practices,
the rate of adoption in Malaysia is considered slow. The number of green buildings
in the country is relatively low, and the current status of green building
development is decreasing due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. Challenges: Malaysia faces several challenges in adopting sustainable
construction and green buildings, including lack of skills and capacity, overlapping
roles among government agencies, slow industry follow-up to government
programs, lack of research and innovation, and lack of understanding of
environmental implications.
DISCUSSION
2. Policy Reform
- Advantages: Promotes widespread use of green technologies and sustainable
practices.
- Weaknesses: Implementation and enforcement of policies may face challenges.
