The aim of this research is to develop an evaluation framework for the identification of problems with respect to energy-efficient design affecting occupants’ comfort. This research focuses on the application of energy-efficient design in office building; secondly, identifies the effects of energy-efficient design problems towards occupants’ comfort; and finally proposes an evaluation framework for the rating of energy-efficient design problems which affect the occupants’ comfort.

In conclusion, this research has shown that the newly designed Energy-efficient Building Environmental Quality Evaluation Framework is able to identify the occupants’ comfort level in energy-efficient building and the causes of the problems which is mainly due to the building envelop such as shading and window features of the energy-efficient building. 2013-12 Thesis http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1998/ http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1998/1/24p%20NG%20BAN%20HUAT.pdf text en public http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1998/2/NG%20BAN%20HUAT%20COPYRIGHT%20DECLARATION.pdf text en staffonly http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1998/3/NG%20BAN%20HUAT%20WATERMARK.pdf text en public mphil masters Universiti Tun Hussein Malaysia Fakulti Kejuruteraan Awam dan Alam Bina
