Abstract

The adverse impact of climate change on the environment has seen the building industry adopt environmentally-friendly building codes. In Australia, new buildings are required to meet minimum standards in terms of their use of energy. Green Star certification recognises the energy, water and ventilation efficiency in buildings. More efficient energy use in buildings decreasing the impact on the environment. Society’s support for buildings being more environmentally-friendly can be influenced by their views on the environment. This study surveys university students on their attitude and behaviour in terms of the environment. Undergraduate and postgraduate students studying finance and building subjects were surveyed. These subjects cover topics on environmental decision making. The findings of the survey provide insights into the behavioural attitudes towards the environment by individuals. They expose whether action needs to be undertaken to improve society’s understanding of the positive impact energy efficient buildings have on the environment.
