The indoor environmental factors considered in office building must be determined order to meet user's requirement. Disruption of environment may constitute reduce occupants' efficiency and work productivity. Therefore, Post-occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a prominent tool that able indicate satisfaction comfort level needs by occupants as lessons learned identify problems environment. By using benchmark evaluation, the potential improving buildings enormous. With relation title, main purpose...

The government has an important obligation to ensure that the public buildings and facilities should be well managed maintain building sustainability. Evaluation after occupancy in is vitally needed performance sustained. Post Occupancy (POE) of utmost importance evaluation as it comprises technique used evaluate whether a meets user's requirement. By using occupants benchmark evaluation, potential improving enormous. This paper discusses about research with broad aim developing general...

The general building conditions in low cost housing are part of human's quality indicator. However, there rising issues on the safety performance since occupants inclined to perceive hazards. Therefore, this paper explores concept Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) as tool. This research conducted a survey and occupants' satisfaction 24 numbers at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. correlation result shows that has significant relationship with satisfaction. findings supported application POE tool for performance.

Abstract Value management (VM) has become an accepted approach in the past decade, using tools and methods that have been ordinarily understood. VM is often subjected to time res ource pressure. The determination of possible critical success factors (CSFs) building projects developing countries essential matter these projects. This study identified 34 drivers adopt construction industry. was achieved through qualitative by conducting interviews with fifteen experts substantial years...

The achievement of sustainable development in environment necessitates a holistic effort all areas society to meet the appropriate criteria. Current debates about urban sustainability not only tend focus on carbon emissions, energy consumption and waste management, but also role facility managers dealing environmental problems towards sustainaibility environment. Inevitably, there is need specify permissible building specific that must be compatible with overall targets. This paper...

Abstract The attempt to enhance the safety aspects in low cost houses (LCH) development is still neglected and one of reason that may contribute this factor due its price value. Hence, Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) adopted assess requirements as study aimed develop a benchmark for LCH Malaysia. This paper elaborates concept POE factors constitute failures LCH. also discusses on hierarchy elements attributes design survey.

Abstract The growing populations of students to higher institution is increasing year by year, therefore it importance ensure that the building well functioned throughout its lifecycle. Inevitably, educational process may be interrupted if experience a poor performance conditions, thus affect student's academic achievement. Many studies have proved there significance in providing holistic buildings able improve learning environment. This study aimed provide new rating tool performance, which...

Unpredictable weather, global warming, and even air pollution result from human activities that harm the ecosystem, whether we like it or not. Since publication of Brundtland Report, adverse effects on environment have been focus discussion by many parties. The report highlighted current physical development practices less emphasis environmental protection while planning growth. then, construction sector has gradually embraced green practices, such as procurement. people capability...

Purpose There are rising issues with the delivery performance of Malaysian low-cost housing (LCH) because occupants inclined to perceive safety hazards. Among raised during occupancy period in LCH structural instability and falling building fragments. Without defining occupants’ requirements early development, it is hard determine prevailing factors. Hence, this paper emphasises application post evaluation (POE) that incorporates participation from as a tool assess LCH. The purpose study...

In the concern of sustainability and increasing awareness environmental degradation, Malaysian government has promoted numerous initiatives on green growth procurement (GP) to maintain minimize ecological effects in construction. However, this initiative is still infancy stage as date, there no specific guideline delineated construction industry, it yet be enforced by practitioners. construction, a new area, immediate actions are needed upon principles, guidelines, policy implementation...

The Prevention through Design (PtD) concept has been widely used to mitigate potential safety and health hazards minimize residual risks during the early design phase. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) prioritizes project-wide collaboration coordination; therefore, importance of PtD recognized. There are still neglected issues pertaining implementation from architectural perspective. Hence, fill this research gap, review was motivated highlight ontological framework practices in construction...

Performance effectiveness in the hotel’s operational stage is significant for hotel industry as relies on customer satisfaction towards service. Fulfilling customer’s and users’ hedonic aesthetic appearance, interiors, room decorations, furnishings crucial hotel's facilities management concept. However, awareness of tangible interiors performance sustainable products are still lacking performance. This study aims to close loop between interior design (SID) management, by identifying criteria...

The significance of having a safe performance in residential property is because it leads to the building sustainability. In relation safety aspects low cost housing, many cases have shown that most are fail meet their objectives right from moment they were declared complete. This paper aims compare assessment schemes use for high rise dwellings or namely Building Quality Assessment (BQA), Safety and Condition Index (BSCI), Environmental Method (HK-BEAM), Comprehensive Performance Scheme...

Since the First Malaysia Plan (1966–1970), there is an emergence development of low-cost housing construction in that intentionally acts as approach to resettle squatters or illegal residential. In current economic situation, a growing demand from residents for better and safer housing. Evidence shows safety major problem low cost it apparent after building occupied by residents. The evaluation hazards, such structural failures high-rise context quality defunctional, were largely ignored...

The growing populations of students to higher institution is increasing year by year, therefore, it important ensure that the building well functioned throughout its lifecycle. Inevitably, educational process may be interrupted if experience a poor performance conditions, thus affect students' academic achievement. Many studies have proved there significance in providing holistic buildings able improve learning environment. This study aimed provide new rating tool for hoped used Malaysia's...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a building performance (BP) rating tool concerning the health and safety risk users in higher educational buildings (HEB). This presents findings preliminary survey, which establishment performance-risk indicators (PRIs) as an initial construct for development BP tool. items consist three criteria main focus, namely element, frames indicators. Design/methodology/approach adopts qualitative approach achieve outcome survey. determinants were...
