Subsequent design decision, construction management activities and procurement policies tend to become barriers to sustainable construction by impacting negatively toward the environment. This paper pinpoints the barriers faced in embodied energy minimization by professionals in the Malaysia construction industry. Construction expert opinion was collected through design questionnaire survey which was scale according to saaty's with (1) equal importance to (9) extreme importance. The returned questionnaires were then inputted into the multi criteria decision making tools. Analytical network process (ANP) was used to determine which barrier among design, construction management and procurement has significant impact on the sustainability of building project. The barriers with most significant influence in the construction industry regarding embodied energy were found to be high level of wastage (CM01), Nonconsideration of embodied impacts in assessment of offers (P01) and over specification in design due to additional factors of safety (D02). © 2018 Abdulrahman Haruna et. al. date: 2018 publisher: Science Publishing Corporation Inc official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85057625111&doi=10.14419%2fijet.v7i4.18405&partnerID=40&md5=4e71e28c2b0cab7b7590f42e6115dae1 id_number: 10.14419/ijet.v7i4.18405 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Engineering and Technology(UAE) volume: 7 number: 4 pagerange: 3126-3130 refereed: TRUE issn: 2227524X citation: Haruna, A. and Shafiq, N. and Montasir, O.A. and Haruna, S.
