ABSTRACT

Environment Quality Evaluation closed (IEQ) in Green Building system: A case

study is an initiative undertaken to determine the effectiveness of IEQ in green building.

Green building is an environmentally sustainable building, designed, built and operated

to reduce the amount of environmental impact. Thus to achieved the objectives of the

building to meet the benchmarks of the GBI standard, this study investigates the

effectiveness of green building based on occupant satisfaction and indoor

environmental quality analysis according to the Green Building Index (GBI) and the

Malaysian Standard MS1525. The respondents were drawn from staffs in the building.

Both methods involved qualitative and quantitative aspects which are questionnaire

survey and analysis field measurement of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ).IEQ

confirmed the results of the six parameters such as temperature, relative humidity,

lighting, and C 02 level are measured. The areas of case study of this dissertation in the

Klang Valley, Selangor. The effectiveness of IEQ in Green Building can affect overall

comfort of the building. The effectiveness of indoor environment (IEQ) in the

Commercial Green Building are not followed the prescribed standard such as the

reading of humidity, temperature and lighting.

1.1 STUDY BACKGROUND

Construction industry have a negative impact on the environment in many ways,

from the excessive use of resources and to direct environmental pollution ( Ding , 2008)

.Environmental issues more related to construction activities such as climate change,

ozone depletion, soil erosion, desertification, eutrophication, acidification, loss of

biodiversity, the spread of toxic substances and the lack of fisheries society ( Kibert ,

2008). Contemporary considers " sustainable development" is the best way to deal with

the problems of complex and inter-related, not only for the benefit of present and future,

but for the integrity of the future of this planet ( Waas et a l ., 2010).

The environmental factors which determine the the quality of indoor environment

is as acoustic comfort, thermal comfort, indoor air quality and visual comfort (loan

Sarbu, 2013). To lately a lot of the developer that want to start of any new building

construction or development which takes into account the need to use the concept of

sustainable and green environment to ensure that building was not harmful to humans

and the environment.
