Abstract

Green building concept is able to address the various issue such as energy consumption, energy cost, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and waste output. It also provides excellent indoor environment quality and a productive work environment. Green building Index (GBI) is one of comprehensive building rating tools in Malaysia. The objective of this study is to conduct the assessment and analysis to the FKM building according to GBI compliance as well as proposed the measure according to GBI compliance. GBI- NREB (Non-residential existing building) rating tool is used for conducting an assessment of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Building, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia (UTeM). The questionnaires and survey were conducted to understand the impact of the indoor air quality and thermal comfort on building occupants. The physical measurements and collection of existing research data were also carried out to investigate the performance of the current building. The result shows that the low performance of energy efficiency and indoor environment quality in the FKM building. From the result of the GBI assessment, the building received a low rating point which is 7 out of 100 points. Based on the findings, the improvement related to retrofitting have been proposed according to the GBI compliance. The proposed measure focus on energy efficiency and indoor environment quality. In view of retrofitting, the cost benefits, practicability, and the building policy need to be considered to address future challenges and problems
