dc.description.abstractThe lack of systems to disseminate information on the knowledge and technological characteristics of energy conservations, energy productions and energy usage in the construction industry has led to a publication of Malaysia Standard: Code of Practice on Energy Efficiency and Use of Renewable Energy for Non-Residential Buildings (MS 1525:2007). This study was carried out with reference to the architectural and passive design strategy stated in MS 1525:2007. The assessments to the site planning and orientation, facade design, ventilation, strategic landscaping and future consideration of renewable energy were made on three selected energy efficient office buildings which are Securities Commission Building, Mesiniaga Tower and LEO Building. To evaluate on cost-effectiveness, the buildings cost of these three energy efficient office buildings have been compared with three conventional office buildings which are Private School Administration Building, Private University Administrative Building and Commercial Office Building. The evaluations on building cost and maintenance cost also have been made because the aim of this research is to prove that energy efficient office buildings are cost effective. Case studies were made through observation, in-depth interviews and also references from previous studies. The importance of this study is to understand the relationship between design, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The finding from this research shows that, only LEO Building is almost followed all the guideline stated in MS1525:2007 and is cost effective compared to other energy efficient buildings and conventional buildings.en_US
