Abstract

The Green Building Index (GBI) is a nationally and internationally recognised green rating system for buildings in Malaysia with the mission of promoting sustainability in the built environment and raising public awareness of environmental issues and our responsibility to future generations. The government's support of ecologically friendly, sustainable construction has boosted sustainable development in Malaysia. However, there are still not enough green offices. Many business owners are sceptical about the concept of a green office. It is widely acknowledged that green buildings are more environmentally friendly when compared to non-green buildings. Furthermore, the objective of this research is to determine the challenge of maintaining the Green Building Index (GBI) certification for office building. In this study, an online questionnaire was employed to collect data from the respondents using a qualitative method. A survey is being administered online to 40 respondents, including SP Setia Berhad and Nucleus Tower employees who work in facilities management. Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 26 was used to tabulate and analyse the data. It’s critical to emphasise the positive impacts that green workplaces have on society, the environment, and the economy in order to raise awareness of their importance. A clear directive should also be provided to entice building owners to incorporate green offices. The usage of green building rating systems in construction and the challenges of fulfilling Green Building Index (GBI) requirements will be better understood by developers.
