Responding to the critical issues of global warming and the continuous increase in energy demand, this empirical study systematically analyzes the current readiness of construction contractors operating in Jakarta regarding the implementation of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building standard. Utilizing a comprehensive quantitative approach through the distribution of structured questionnaires to 50 active executing contractors, the analysis is specifically focused on evaluating four main dimensional aspects: core knowledge, organizational readiness, human resource (HR) capability readiness, and technical-operational readiness. The empirical results of this study indicate that the contractors' overall level of knowledge regarding the basic concepts and benefits of LEED falls into the moderate category (with a calculated average score of 2.92), highlighting that technical and administrative understanding still requires substantial improvement. Organizational readiness is classified as fairly good (achieving an average score of 3.16), yet it faces significant constraints regarding budget availability and the lack of a comprehensive database for eco-friendly material suppliers. Human resources show high readiness (attainting a higher average score of 3.39), which is strongly driven by a positive willingness to learn and strong procedural awareness, although specific problem-identification skills still need to be honed. Meanwhile, technical-operational readiness is positioned in the fairly good category (with an average score of 3.19), where the main issue revolves around the availability of specialized work equipment that meets strict LEED standards. In conclusion, these findings clearly indicate an urgent need for enhanced technical understanding, reinforcement of internal corporate policies and financial budgets, as well as systematic infrastructure optimization by contractors to support the effective, long-term adoption of LEED green buildings across Jakarta.
