like the perspectives of users, societal regulation and markets, have become core parts of science, technology and, now, innovation policies.

Systemic change can be facilitated through different policies, e g. regulation and taxes, and through policy instruments that, for example, focus on public procurement,

such as public funding for R&d and innovation, support for technical standardizatiion intellectual property rights regulation and the provisiio of public technical infrastructure, can be applied.

and government regulation and incentives. There are also specific systemic bottlenecks in the Victorian construction industry that stimulated the needs for strategic intervention.

Construction is subject to a relatively high degree of regulation, including technical building codes and quality standards for energy consumption, safety and health.

Because the regulations are not always consistenntl coordinated between different levels of government, companies that operate across several jurisdictions report high compliance costs due to multiple regulatory frameworrks The second bottleneck is based the project nature of construction, with little replication at the design level.

Technically defined regulations; Demonstration projects exhibiting value of green building concepts 3d and product model technologies;

Performance based regulations; Green building standards go mainstream in new constructions; Retrofitting existing stock to meet environmental standards SOLUTIONS:

From technically specified regulations toward performance based regulations; Financial support to green building demonstration projects; Support to green building standardisation;

the first policy proposal was to move from techniccall specified regulations toward performance-based regulations.

Construction regulations have traditionally been based on setting standards for particular technologies or processes. This may have a negative effect on innovattio in the industry

The regulations are defined mainly technically, and some demonstration projects exhibiitin the value of green building concepts have already been realized.

Regulations are also developing in a performance-based direction as green building standards are increasingly going mainstream in new constructions.

duration, upgradeability, recyclability Global treaties, initiatives and campaigns on environmental questions Shortage of fossil fuels and fresh water Standardization of green monitoring solutions REGULATION AND DEMAND-SIDE POLICIES:

Consequently, more concrete regulation and incentives for both citizens and companies will be utilized. The increasing price of energy and raw materials is also a significant driver.

Consumption fees, taxes and regulation can be used to control user behaviour. 5. 3. 2 Policies.

in which there is basically no regulation or incentives to utilize sustainable ICTS. Also, the systemic effects of ICTS, such as life-cycle emissions, are known not.

The third set of policies focus on the regulation and demand-side and refer to more‘standard'types of practicces like regulation that affects consumer behaviour, standardization and the utilization of natural resources.

These institutions can be formal, such as regulations and standards, or informal, such as new inter-organizational partnerships.
