Abstract
This study delves into the realm of environmental assessment, examining its benefits and goals. It centers around a case study of Al Hussein Technical University’s new building, utilizing the LEED rating system for a comprehensive analysis. The assessment, conducted through Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE), on-site observations, and Revit simulations for estimated energy consumption, aims not for certification but practical insights into improvement areas. Comparisons with the old building reveal the evolution of sustainability practices, offering strategic guidance and actionable insights for future projects. The study critically evaluates LEED’s role in enhancing building performance. The findings provide specific recommendations, such as incorporating solar panels for energy efficiency and identifying sustainable construction materials. In essence, the paper underscores the importance of environmentally conscious design and delivers tailored recommendations for the dynamic field of architectural development. The potential widespread application of these recommendations across buildings could significantly advance sustainable practices in the built environment.
