World economic growth is directly proportional to the increase in the building sector. The building sector account for 31% of final energy consumption. Humans also increasingly recognize the importance of the health aspects, convenience indoor quality and user safety in the building. This paper combines the concepts of green building assessment and green ergonomics to produce new framework called green ergonomic building. In this paper the green ergonomic building is building condition that not only focus on energy use, indoor quality but also health, convenience, safety and improving quality of human life in carrying out their activities in buildings. The development of a green ergonomic building assessment model was developed from literature studies and questionnaires distributed to respondents working in green building certified office buildings. Data processing using the Principal Component Analysis. Based on the results of data processing, seven dimensions of proposals and indicators are obtained. These dimensions are the basic components of indoor quality and security; waste management and safety; water efficiency management and artificial lighting; suitability of furniture work area and material; application of sensory technologies and health; convenience of workspace; and mechanical ventilation and supporting facilities. These dimensions and their indicators are expected to be used as a valuation model to identify that buildings have met the green ergonomic building assessment requirement.
