Going Green is Superior, Break Down the Barriers

With the push to address sustainable issues through green building technologies, many countries are faced with barriers that hinder their adoption of these Technolgies. Ghana is a prime example of countries which struggle with the implementation of green building technologies.

In studies done through comprehensive literature reviews and questionnaire surveys, the most critical barriers were the higher costs of green building technologies, lack of government incentives, and lack of financing schemes such as bank loans. Although specific to Ghana, a comparative analysis shows the higher cost of green building technologies remains the most critical barrier for all countries. 

These studies can help policy makers and practitioners take the necessary measures to mitigate these barriers and promote the adoption of green building technology.
