description The planning and execution of eco-friendly housing face technical hurdles, particularly in regions like Jordan. This study aims to address primary obstacles in overseeing eco-friendly residential buildings in Jordan. The research highlights the unique ecological, weather-related, and financial factors impacting these difficulties. Various technical issues throughout the eco-friendly building's life cycle, including site selection, design, energy systems integration, water conservation, and construction methods, are recognized. Furthermore, upgrading existing residences to eco-friendly standards is explored. Drawing from these challenges, the study proposes suggestions for handling technical hindrances in Jordan's eco-friendly housing. Recommendations encompass technological progress, policy frameworks, skill enhancement, and awareness initiatives to advance sustainable construction. By managing these challenges, it's possible to boost environmental efficiency, energy effectiveness, and overall sustainability of residential structures, aligning with Jordan's goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting an ecologically conscious economy.
