| description | The environmental impact of construction activities occurs from the initial
work stages to the construction period, operational period, and the final demolition
when a building comes to the end of its life. In order to make sure the construction
activity can be run in line with considering the environmental health, green roofs are
very relevant to Malaysia which is now experiencing rapid urbanization and loss of
green areas in most of its major cities. On the other hand, flat roofs have a wide
application in many countries, following the architectural evolution, the emergence
of new materials, and the improvement in the performance of the existing ones. This
study focuses on the perception of building industry players in the green and flat roofs
development in Malaysia’s high-rise building. A questionnaire was distributed to the
local building sector in order to fulfill the objectives of the study which are to identify
the advantages and disadvantages of green and flat roofs that concern the construction
practitioners, to analyze the barriers of the green roof development, and to provide
strategies to enhance the implementation of green roof in Malaysia’s construction
industry. At the end of the study, green roofs seemed able to offer healing
environments but has a limited of roofing materials, skilled labors and professional
team required, high consideration of structure, and high installation and construction
initial cost. |
