Roadmap For the Green Building in Lebanon

Abstract

The choices made in infrastructure development today will determine the competitiveness, quality of life, and sustainability of countries for decades to come. Unfortunately, for the case of Lebanon, there are no plans for national-level infrastructural development that could be considered as a future goal to advance the country’s ability to compete regionally and ensure an improved standard and quality of living, without depriving future generations of their due share of natural resources and ecological space. This paper focuses on developing a strategic roadmap that is robust yet flexible enough to integrate and implement green building regulations in both new and existing buildings within the Lebanese regulatory framework.
