المستخلص:Sustainable housing is a priority in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), particularly in view of shortages in residential housing, as well as other geographic and economic factors that have contributed to increased annual levels of energy consumption in residential buildings. Therefore, the purpose of this critical literature review was to examine acceptance of sustainable buildings in the general public in the KSA, to identify strategies for increasing the sustainability of residential buildings in the KSA, and to evaluate the role of government regulations in promoting sustainable design practices in the Saudi residential sector. 10 relevant studies were identified after implementing a transparent, comprehensive, and robust search strategy, including 6 studies based in the KSA, 1 from the UK, 1 from Italy, and 2 focused on an international setting. The results indicate that, at present, the KSA is facing a residential housing crisis, and multiple complex barriers exist towards the adoption of sustainable housing practices. Acceptance of sustainable buildings is low among key stakeholders, but the KSA is positioned to begin increasing the use of novel strategies, including smart technologies, regulatory reform, and collaborative efforts from all stakeholders, to address the situation.
