| Abstract | In a developed nation, buildings accounts for nearly half of overall energy consumption in both residential and commercial sectors. Green rating tools have become a key instrument to alleviate energy shortage, mitigate the effects of global warming and improve the indoor environmental conditions. This paper is based on a research on Green Building Index (GBI) as a pioneer rating tool used in Malaysia. The research investigates the effectiveness of the facade adopted in GBI rated office buildings as the interface of the ambient climate to the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). Results of this study shows that most of the IEQ parameters fulfil the criteria stated in GBI Non Residential New Construction (NRNC) Tools standard although the envelop of the building consist of various types of facade. However, the performances on the Indoor Air Velocity parameter are slightly below the average requirement stipulated by the GBI Malaysia. |
