Nowadays, the level of global awareness about the quality of the environment and its impacting changes to society has increased sharply. Various kinds of activities in anticipating intense global warming throughout the world, methods in attaining efficiency and energy use, are some efforts in minimizing environmental damage. The construction industry plays a major contribution to campaigns to anticipate global warming. Stakeholders related to the construction industry, including building owners, planner, builder, operator, and residents, as well as academia and researchers play their roles as a construction service agent to minimize the negative impacts on the environment. The concept known as Green Construction demands all actors in the industry to pay high attention to environmental aspects. All parties should have to follow the sustainable and green principles, codes, and regulations, starting from the planning stage, use of materials, development stage, operation, to the maintenance periods.
