Challenges of Green Code
1. Lack of Economical Driving Force
2. Social Factors (awareness & knowledge)
3. Shortage in Local experience, specialists and expertise
4. Privation of adopting governmental authority
5. Reliance and/or Conflict with other building regulations
6. Lack of incentives
7. Poor Green Market
