Green building standard assessment at a higher education institution

Abstract

The environmental impact caused by the construction of the building is very large. A building will require great energy, electricity, water, and also produces large amounts of waste. To prevent that, a concept of development that caring the state of the environment is needed. The concept is known as the green building concept. This research was conducted to assess academic buildings at a higher education institution using green building assessment. The criteria for assessment is based on Greenship Rating System which consists of six categories such as appropriate site development, energy efficiency and conservation, water conservation, material resources and cycle, indoor air health and comfort, building and environment management. The results of this research are comparison between the green building actual and ideal conditions using gap analysis. Action plans also developed to achieve the expected green conditions according to Green Building Certification.
