AbstractThe Green Building m ovement started in the U nited States in the 1970’s and has now become global as concerns about environmental issues have risen all over t he world. In SEA , initiatives have already been implemented in certain c ountries at different scales. The studie s indicate that Singapore is fa r ahead on the other SEA countries in developing energy efficient buildings. Beyond a country analysis, t his research synthetizes the current situation of Green Building in SEA considered as a region , questioning also but not only the role of the ASEAN . Us ing an interview - b ased methodology , opinions of real estate consultants operating in SEA were collected to showcase the obstacles and the drivers in the “greening” process of the built environment in this unique region. Th e main findings show that the coop e ration between countries, the governments’ intervention and the understanding of the benefits of GB by the stakeholders will act in favor of a fast expansion of energy efficient buildings .
