Government of Taiwan since 2002 has been promoting certified and pre-certified intelligent buildings. It was introduced to meet occupant’s safety, comfort, convenience, and efficiency concerns with powerful automation and integrating systems in building. Energy saving, ease to maintained and management are the by-product of it. Based on total numbers of intelligent building permit issued and its total floor area, the certified and pre-certified intelligent building seems to be growing fast. However, the proportion between government owned and private sector projects are unbalanced. How to encourage private sector to participate and implement the certification of intelligent building is the aim of this study. To find out the possible factors that contributed the deferring of implementation on intelligent building from private sectors, experts in building construction industry include developers, architects, MEP integrators, real estate agents, and property managers have been invited to share the concerns. Delphi method was first used to develop the possible and consensus factors from the experts. Analytic hierarchy process was then used to rank the important key factors based on experts’ responses. The results could be utilized as basis for government agencies to formulate relevant policies and incentives on promoting certified and pre-certified intelligent building in private sectors.
