Abstract
Green building development is an upcoming topic and is driven mostly by the growing awareness of the environment impact of construction on the satisfaction, health, performance, well-being and productivity of its occupants. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) and occupant’s satisfaction in a Platinum rated GBI’s office building located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaire from the building occupants and analysed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) Smart PLS. This analysis was conducted in obtaining the level of reliability and validity of the data in measuring occupant’s productivity in relation with the IEQ. Subsequently, the result of the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) for each of the variables shows that there are no collinearity issues in between the attributes.
