Some humans are the cause of environmental damage. Employee Green Behaviours must be able to maintain environmental quality because the construction industry is a contributor to high environmental damage in the world. Integrated control is needed in developing green behavioural awareness especially for human resources involved in building and housing projects. The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework towards Behavioural Green Index (BGI) in construction. The methodology developed using frameworks studies and factors analysis. Factor analysis is carried out on factors that have been found to have influence on green behaviour such as external factors and internal factors. The results of this study is conceptual framework as inputs for developing a BGI that needs to be followed up by increasing green behaviour, reducing behavioural barriers, and supporting habitability.
