| Summary: | Green Building is a very famous topic in advanced country such as USA, Japan, Europe and
Australia. Since 20 years ago, they had started to develop green building. Malaysia is still in
early state although had recently launched of GBI. However, a Green Building was once an
immediate claim to fame. Now, Green Building become the rule rather than an exception. The
main highlighted of Green Building are innovative technologies and new construction
techniques. It is to carry the promise of improving green and efficiency across the entire value
chain of the building. Green Building concept not only for the design stage but also include the
operation stage and the end of life stage of a building. The concepts of benefit in term of value
may influenced by interests, return and stakeholders which leave a fragmented impression. This
paper will discuss the benefit of Green Building through the Diamond Building. The benefits are
through the cost saving by energy efficiency and water efficiency and satisfaction level of
occupant of Green Building. In carrying out this study, the methodologies used are site
observation conducted through visits to the building, interviews with the person in charge and
survey the users of the building. The analysis is then made base on the effectiveness of the
various energy and water conserving strategies implemented. In conclusion, through Diamond
Building had found that the cost saving is one of the best benefit for Green Building although the
building had function around 10 years. Furthermore, the occupants in Diamond Building are
satisfied with the facilities that design as Green Building. Lastly, this paper only provides a
useful reference to the field of green design in tropical climate. |
