Abstract
Sustainable buildings revolve around the concept of sustainability – to manage limited resources in order to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the future generations. The present research aims to evaluate both practical and theoretical application levels of sustainable building constructions in the Kingdom of Bahrain via sustainability indicators. To carry out this research, the population size is based on architects, contractors, and policy and decision makers from the Kingdom of Bahrain, this research adopted a quantitative research approach by using survey questionnaires and the data analysis was performed with the statistical software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Finally, the result of this study is accumulated and presented, followed by recommendations for further research. Our results revealed that the Kingdom of Bahrain weakly supports the level of sustainable building constructions, and it is important now, to integrate renewable energy into buildings, particularly after the increasing prices of fossil fuel "oil and gas".
