Abstract

The building industry is responsible for a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. Actors in the building industry have the capability to cut down emissions considerably. However, despite existing knowledge and emerging technologies, we are still constructing unsustainable buildings. A gap exists between current and best practice. The aim of this paper is to suggest ways in which this gap might be bridged. To do this, the paper begins by providing a definition of the concept of sustainable architecture. It then identifies possible obstacles inhibiting the more widespread adoption of sustainable architecture; using the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as an example. This leads to some conclusions on areas of potential improvement in the planning, design and construction of buildings, and appropriate intervention in the regulatory framework.
