The objective of this paper is to quantitatively identify, rank and prioritize the barriers to the adoption of green building using the RII method . Results from RII method of 70 questionnaire survey responses from GB experts around the Surat city are presented.

Three group of stakeholder were taken part architects, contractor & project engineer took part in the ranking and prioritization of barriers. Calculation of local and global weight reveals that (IKA) barriers are ranked high and MG comes second where FE and TT where get lag much behind with lower global weights among the top 10 specific barrier unfamiliarity with gb technologies, lack of knowledge and awareness of gb technologies and their benefits, limited experience with the use of non traditional procurement methods, lack of reliable gb technologies research and education etc . From the perspective of gb experts, this study contributes to the body of knowledge about GB barriers.
