Post Oeeupancy Evaluation (POE) and Indoor Environmental Quality Assessment (IEQ): A Case Study ofUniversiti Teknologi PETRONAS New Aeademie Complex

Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) and Indoor Environmental Quality Assessment
(IEQ): a Case Study ofUniversiti Teknologi PETRONAS New Academic Complex
is an initiative taken for development of UTP. Universiti Teknologi Petronas are
currently looking forward to be certified as green building university. Thus to achieved
the mission of the university to meet the benchmarks of GBI standard, this study
investigates and determine the level of building performance based on occupants'
satisfaction and indoor environmental quality analysis according to Green Building
Index (GBI) and Malaysian Standard MS1525. This project also provides
recommendation for corrective plan and way forward should be taken to improve the
elements that have not compliance to the standard. The sampling taken from the
populations of UTP which are include lecturer, staff and students. Due to the restricted
availability of the data; three buildings which is Block 13, 14 and Pocket C were chosen
to represent the whole UTP new academic complex. The two methods involved covers
qualitative and quantitative aspects which are Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) and
analysis field measurement of Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ). POE indicates the
satisfaction level of occupants where the parameters need to pass the severity index
boundary. IEQ verified the result of POE where six parameters; temperature, relative air
humidity, noise level, illumination level, C02 level and air velocity are measured. At the
end of this project, correlation of POE and IEQ reports that noise and illumination level
are not meet the standard. Recommendations are provided at the end of this report in
order to be assist management UTP to plan the corrective plan and way forward to be
certified as green building according to GBI rating system.
