Assessment of office building energy efficiency using green building index and leadership in energy and environmental design

Energy conservation becomes a hot topic in the commercial industry. Energy performance of a building can be rated through green building rating tools. The available tools like Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEE...

The available tools like Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE), and Green Building Index (GBI) can guide the government, building designers, pemaju, and users on the energy performance of the building and green building awareness.
