Abstract
This study examined the benefits and drivers of implementing green building projects in Nigerian. Data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaire to professionals among the selected construction companies. Descriptive statistics and RII were utilized for the data analysis. Findings from the study revealed a high awareness of GB benefits and drivers among various construction participants in the industry. Among the environmental, economic, and social benefits revealed in this study include: reduced greenhouse gas emission, reduced energy consumption, low operating cost, high property value, knowledge transfers and community improvement, etc. Therefore, the study concluded that the most effect approach to holistic adoption of this panacea of global imbalance and degradation is the involvement of government in promoting the campaign on GB while considering promulgating policies and financial motivations.
