Abstract
The Malaysian Government is committed to change significantly through embracing sustainable practices and meeting its target and obligations towards sustainable development. In response to these desires, Industrial Building System (IBS) and their design procedures are considered as an opportunity to introduce sustainable features to the construction process and enhance construction sustainability into a more socially responsible, environmentally sustainable and economically viable to meet the current demand of the construction market. This research mainly studies the fundamental connotation of IBS that has the potential contributing to green construction and sustainability, and illustrates the significance and meaning of green construction principles based on IBS perspectives. The establishment of effective methods to evaluate the performance of different approaches in which IBS contributes to green construction and sustainability is crucial for construction organisation at present in deliberate whether returns have been attained on their investment in implementing IBS in construction project. The nature of this research was partly exploratory and tried to identify the major issues by examining the viewpoints of experts in the construction industry. The research method for this study encompasses qualitative data gathering via semi-structured interviews and quantitative data gathering via structured questionnaires.
