Abstract

Implementation of energy conservation in green building construction faces significant challenges in developing countries, particularly in Indonesia. This study aims to identify technical and policy barriers hindering energy conservation implementation in green building projects in Bali through a mixed-method approach. Data were collected from 100 construction industry stakeholders across 5 green building projects using structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation. Statistical descriptive analysis and Pareto analysis were employed to identify dominant barriers, followed by root cause analysis using the 5-Why technique. Results reveal that technical barriers are dominated by integration challenges between traditional systems and smart building technologies (16.30%), procurement delays for specialized components (16.30%), limited grid capacity for solar PV feed-in (16.30%), lack of local service centers (16.30%), and integration difficulties with existing conventional building systems (14.52%). Policy barriers include inadequate regulatory frameworks (14.77%), frequent regulatory changes (14.77%), complex bureaucratic procedures (14.62%), weak enforcement (14.68%), and poor inter-agency coordination (14.68%). Root cause analysis indicates that fundamental issues stem from lack of comprehensive regulatory frameworks, inadequate coordination mechanisms, and insufficient strategic planning. These findings provide crucial insights for policymakers and industry practitioners to develop more effective strategies for energy conservation implementation in green building construction.
