Abstract
In Libya there are some steps which are needed to deliver sustainable building. This paper illustrates several stages to achieving sustainable building in Libya and some barriers facing it. Although, there are massive amounts of renewable energy in Libya, for example, solar energy not many people care about using this energy to preserve the environment and this endangers the coming generations. In order, to achieve the aim of this study literature was used to explore the possibility of implementing sustainable building in Libya. The barriers that were identified by this study are financial problems, and substantive and technical obstacles. The paper concludes by suggesting some ways in which these barriers might be overcome such as, motivating society to use renewable energy, controlling emissions and reducing resource consumption from the design stage through the various stages of the project until the end of the building’s life.
