Uptake of Green Buildings in Kenya Kenya Green Building Society

What is a Green Building? A green building is one that incorporates design, construction and operational practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of development on the environment and occupants

Climate change and the need to reduce GHG emissions, in particular CO2, is probably the most important and urgent issue facing mankind. Because buildings contribute about 23% of total emissions they should be at the frontline of the fight against global warming. By 2050, urban areas in sub-Saharan Africa will be home to 800 million more people than in 2014, according to New Climate Economy, and these will all live, work and study in buildings. Future growth in Africa presents a tremendous opportunity to reinvent the way we build – to benefit the economy, society and enable humanity and nature to thrive together. 

THE KENYAN BUILDING INDUSTRY Kenyan construction industry contributes 7 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) With an increase in population, opportunities exist in the construction of residential, commercial and industrial buildings, including prefabricated low-cost housing in 2017 the US$3bn construction sector contributed 4.8% to the Kenyan economy

Important observations include: • Much of corporate Kenya perceives green activities as part of their growth strategies. • Other indicators of the increased corporate sustainability trend are more corporate reporting on environmental and sustainability policies, an increase in both voluntary initiatives and the money directed toward socially responsible investments.

The building industry is facing a continuing rise in demand for green building materials, product and services.
