Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review about the barriers and drivers of sustainable building practices in the construction sector. Through this comprehensive literature review, the authors were able to identify generic barriers and drivers for stakeholders to implement sustainability within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. A total of 27 barriers and 29 drivers were identified from reviewing 41 articles. This paper presents a classification of the drivers, which are the following: 1) project-level drivers; 2) government regulations; 3) corporate drivers; 4) economic and financial drivers; 5) education; 6) standards; 7) personal motivations. This paper can assist AEC stakeholders and policymakers in better understanding the barriers and drivers of sustainable construction, and thus, elaborate and implement more efficient policies, standards and incentives to further promote sustainable construction.
