“…Green building is always associated with the indoor air quality (Holmgren, Kabanshi, & Sörqvist, 2017;Kim, Oh, & Kim, 2013b). Thus, green building should give positive effect in term of high workplace satisfaction that contribute to psychological and behavioural benefits (Holmgren et al, 2017). Green building should also relate with environmental efficiency which lead to saving in energy cost (Holmgren et al, 2017).…”

Green building should also relate with environmental efficiency which lead to saving in energy cost (Holmgren et al, 2017). Moreover, through all the phases of building life span, environmentally friendly built environments should be associated with safety, security, wellbeing, convenience, reasonable cost and long term adaptability (Kim et al, 2013b).…”

A green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resources in term of energy, water and materials, while at the same time reducing the building impact on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle. Green buildings are significant in operational savings and are able to increase workplace productivity. There are 909 registered green buildings project up to September 2019 in Malaysia. However, previous research indicated the success of green building in term of its performance is still in doubt and very much speculative. In fact, there have also been reports saying that green building fails to perform appropriately. Unfortunately, up until now there are no standard performance criteria and performance parameters to measure the green building performance in Malaysia. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present the findings of the research which identify the performance criteria and parameters of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) for green building in Malaysia. Fifteen (15) performance criteria and thirty-five (35) parameters were identified from the literature and validated by green building experts by using Content Validity Index. The finding identifies eleven (11) performance criteria and twenty-six (26) performance criteria to measure the green building performance through POE.

“…Ries et al found a 25% growth of productivity when occupants moved from conventional building to a GB [163]. Furthermore, occupants assigned higher acceptance and satisfaction to an indoor environment in a certified GBs compared to conventional buildings [164]. In the operation phase, building performance mainly depends on the occupants, who will help achieve the initial ecological objectives by correctly using devices through a better understanding of GBs.…”

Since the energy crisis in the 1960s, crucial research and activities were spurred to improve energy efficiency and decrease environmental pollution. To deal with the various problems the construction industry are facing, the concept of green buildings (GBs) has been gradually shaped and put forward all over the world, and green building rating systems (GBRSs) have been developed. The concept of GBs covers a wide range of elements, and its definition is constantly updated as the construction industry develops. This paper compares the development of backgrounds and statuses of green building development in various countries. It also presents an overview of the green building development situation within these countries, summarizing two influences for GB development: one external and the other internal. External factors include GB development policy support, economic benefits, and certification schemes. Internal factors are the development and application of GB technology, the level of building management, and how users interact with the GB technology. Currently, 49 worldwide green building standards and application have been sorted out, including 18 standard expert appraisal systems. Moreover, it discusses the research results and lessons learned from green building projects in different countries and summarizes their achievements and challenges. To correctly understand and use green building technology, it is essential to improve the policy and incentive system, improve the professional quality and technical ability of employees and accredited consultants, constantly develop and update the evaluation system, strengthen technological innovation, and integrate design and management. This paper aims to draw a clear roadmap for national standard development, policy formulation, and construction design companies, provide solutions to remove the obstacles, and suggest research direction for future studies.

Jakarta has implemented Environmentally-friendly buildings and Energy-saving act policy. But the energy consumption in a building is moderately increased all the time. It dominated by consumption in building's air conditioner and related to thermal comfort for building's occupants and also the work performance of civil services employees. This research is providing statistical questionnaire-based of subjective answers by a public service employee of Jakarta Capital Government. This study was conducted by concerning spatial perspective or geographic location of the object in six administrative parts of Jakarta Capital City (center, east, north, west, south and Seribu archipelago). The questions is spreads to 367 buildings occupants during the dry-wet season (October-November). The study were performed in 311 Public service facility, then the data is analyzed by Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method to answer research questions about the link between thermal comfort and energy consumption. The results showed a significant result between two variables. A model using those variables was generated to show the link between them and suggested as a tool to conduct better building-related policies in Jakarta Provincial Government.
