Abstract

A green building, a building that can effectively reduce negative impacts in all aspects or processes of design, construction, or operation, has a positive and positive impact on our climate and environment. It also helps protect precious natural resources and indirectly improves our quality of life. This study aims to examine the various benefits that can be gained if green buildings are implemented in Malaysia, with the construction industry playing a pivotal role in the country's development. However, it can also be one of the industries that causes the most environmental pollution. The use of quantitative methods in this study, with data collected through questionnaires in Google Forms involving different categories of target groups, has verified the research's validity and reliability. The findings, with all 166 construction industry stakeholders agreeing that the implementation of green buildings indeed contributes to many beneficial aspects, have validated the consistency of context about the well-known beneficial effect of green buildings on construction stakeholders in Malaysia.
