Every year, Indonesia experiences population growth and becomes one of the countries with the largest population. This causes an increase in the need for infrastructure development, public services, and other support to meet the needs of activities that threaten the diminishing natural resources. Meanwhile, the quality of infrastructure in Indonesia still has much that is not friendly to the environment, with the building sector being the largest contributor to carbon gas emissions, which have an impact on climate change and global warming. The government in Indonesia is starting to become aware of these environmental issues and has initiated movements, one of which involves the construction of environmentally friendly buildings that seek to minimize damage and erosion of natural resources and maintain a balance between human needs and environmental conditions. In 2009, the concept of green building began to enter Indonesia, brought by non- governmental organizations engaged in responding to concerns about climate change, excessive use of resources, and the construction industry's negative impact on the environment. They apply several quantitative assessment criteria to calculate efficiency and energy conservation in a building. According to the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI), a green building is a building that shows aspects of protecting, saving, and reducing the use of natural resources, maintaining air quality in the room, and paying attention to the health of its inhabitants from the planning, construction, operation, and maintenance operations. All these aspects adhere to the principles of sustainable development. In practice, the concept of green building has different interpretations among building sector actors, including architects, academics, contractors, professionals, and others, who have various understandings and methods of implementation based on their respective goals. Now the stakeholders in Indonesia, whose green building concepts are better known by GBCI, which issued greenship certification, and PUPR, which issued BGH certification, still have many different perceptions regarding the green building movement. It is perceived as unnatural and cannot be considered as an effective solution to mitigate environmental issues. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe some of the controversies that occurred in the concept of green building and its management, by following in the footsteps of the actors involved in this research.
