Abstract
In the Netherlands, as in many countries, sustainable building is becoming an increasingly popular issue. Numerous technical and technological innovations for sustainable building have been developed in the past decade. In addition, many sustainable building policies and policy instruments have been designed by Dutch authorities, especially at central and local government levels, to stimulate innovation and diffusion of sustainable building practices. Despite all these innovations and policies, sustainable building has not become common practice (Van Bueren, 2000; Van Hal, 2000; Van der Waals, Vermeulen, 2000).
