A total of 176 professionals (Engineers, Architects, Quantity Surveyors and Builders) were reached. However, 75 returned Questionnaires were passed fit and certified for further analysis. Analysis was carried out using the Mean Item score and standard deviation. The findings from this study reveals that the biggest incentives for adopting Intelligent Building Systems are; Better environment and intelligent city respectively.
