This research paper examines the effect of building building occupancy after receiving green building building standard certification based on on two case case studies at at Tel Aviv University The first case case is the Porter School for the the the Environment and and Earth Sciences and and the the the second one is the the the Check Point School of Computer Science This study examined both buildings’ energetic behaviors the the variability of their climatic parameters and air quality during three periods In recent years there has been an increase in in in building construction due to the the rate of population growth and and the growing demand for residential buildings Buildings are a a a a a a a basic space for people where they may live work and study However buildings consume large amounts of resources and and energy and and may cause severe environmental pollution Over the the past few years the the construction industry has been transitioning to greener technology and sustainable construction methods ‘Green building’ is designed to create a a a a a a healthy living environment that avoids harming perishable natural resources as as much as as possible i i i i i i i e e e e e e e e e e e e e green buildings have the potential to create a a a a a a a sustainable environment that will meet the the the needs of of the the the current generation generation without endangering the the the ability of of future generations to meet their needs International green building building standards allow periodic building building inspections and and reassessment However according to Israeli Standard #5281 once a a a a a a a green status score has been determined it can no longer be be changed Presently in in Israel standards are being developed that address the the the quality-of-life of of the the the buildings’ future users It should also be mandatory to to require the the the comparison of pre-occupancy estimates with post-occupancy evaluations )POEs( A POE POE is is an an information analysis process based on on on data collection checking whether the the building’s actual end use is compatible with the original intent of its design Prior studies have found that to to perform a a a a a a a a reliable POE it it is necessary to to wait at at at least six months from the date of occupancy as as such this study was carried out over a a a a a a period of two years We found that the the the design plans of the the the two buildings studied do not correspond with their intended usages and the the status of ’green building’ is only partially justified for the the Porter School School of Environmental Studies As for the Check Point School School it in in fact does not sufficiently match its initial plan nor does it it it it it comply with green building standards )despite having received green certification( As such one recommendation of this research is is to conduct a a a a follow-up study in which a a a a greater number of ‘smarter’ )more sensitive( sensors would
