The construction industry is one of the major sectors responsible for energy efficiency, solid waste production, global greenhouse gas emissions, environmental damage and resource depletion. However, there have been a few studies that point to green technical knowledge in the empowerment of workers in construction projects especially in Malaysia. The purpose of this study was to obtain information on raw materials between engineers, contractors and other organizations involved in the construction industry. To this end, extensive literature reviews, questionnaires and interviews were conducted. A number of projects involved in green technology and improvements in the development of existing conservation and construction technologies have been investigated; and how it was decided how the green technology industry could contribute to the national economy. A questionnaire was distributed among the participants in the project and a discussion was held with local authorities in Selangor on their knowledge of green technology and to improve the development of green technology projects in Selangor and across the country. Through a survey of interviewed professionals with green construction expertise, the results initially showed that green technology is widely understood by key role players in the construction industry, but nevertheless implementation is not done and information about them is not well developed. Research vacancies are discussed with indicators of future research proposed. This research can serve as an important platform for both industry workers and researchers to appreciate the progress of green technology research.
