Abstract

The Indonesian government encourages vertical housing development to meet housing needs, especially in urban areas. It is a national programme that steadily increases in number and affects the environment. Hence, the development of sustainable principles needs to be carried out. However, implementing a green building concept to vertical housing construction in Indonesia is not mandatory, is relatively more expensive than conventional projects and can negatively affect the environment. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the drivers for implementing the green building concept in vertical housing in Indonesia. A mixed-method approach was selected. Based on literature studies, an open questionnaire was distributed to 76 respondents from the green community, including regulators (government), architects, engineers and academics. To analyse the data, content analysis, distribution analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used. The result showed that “Saving” (34.6%), “Generating a positive environmental impact” (26.9%), “Improving the quality of residents’ lives” (19.2%), “Optimising building performance” (10%) and “Mitigating carbon emissions” (9.2%) were the drivers for implementing green building concept from the respondents. The details of this concept that needed to be implemented included site management, energy efficiency and conservation, wastewater management, waste management, water efficiency and conservation, material sources and cycles, continued green efforts, and indoor health and comfort. This research offers insight for policymakers and practitioners navigating sustainable development in vertical housing construction in Indonesia.
