There has been increasing focus on green building in recent times. This has been a result of the realization that building activities contribute largely to global warming and climate change. Some studies have been carried out particularly in developed economies, on stakeholders’ aspirations for green building. However, there appears to be little research especially on the aspiration of the residents for green building in developing economies. This paper examines the degree of aspiration of residents for green building features. A survey of residents of Osogbo, a traditional city in Nigeria, finds that residents’ level of aspiration for green features in the study area was above average. The degree of aspiration for features related to energy efficiency, water efficiency, and waste reduction and disposal was higher than the degree of aspiration for material use and conservation and owner and occupant education. The paper advocates the need for government to strengthen the existing and formulate a new framework for promoting green housing in the country.
