Green building in Malaysia kept rising from year to year. The building that had obtained the green certificate has been increase to 388 building this year (GBI, 2017). In Malaysia, green building will be evaluated by using Green Building Index. It is a rating tool to measure the implementation of green concept in the building. These green buildings are evaluated by using GBI, but GBI did not assess how occupants feel while occupying green building. This paper presents the result of a study of Post-Occupancy Evaluation for Green Building from two case study (Kompleks Kerja Raya and Ministry of International Trade & Industry (MITI)). Aim and objective has been set in order to achieve the study. Aim for this study is to measure the occupant’s satisfaction level on green building of platinum and gold award by Green Building Index (GBI) after the buildings have been occupied. Building occupants are the most important feedback to measure their satisfaction level and to identify the relationship between Post-Occupancy Evaluation and Green Building Index. The result from the study shows the arrangement and design of workplace and thermal comfort obtained the lowest means. Occupants are satisfied with the criteria but still, the criteria obtained the lowest means compared to other criteria.
