N2 - This study investigates the integration of Green Building Technologies and Solutions within UAEU’s Maqam Campus, focusing on assessing sustainable design effectiveness. Using a mixed-method approach, the research comprehensively evaluates indoor environmental quality (IEQ) from June 2022 to January 2023. Data collection, user insights, on-site audits, and analysis inform the assessment. Initial survey findings reveal a preference for manual control among students, emphasizing user agency. Subsequent surveys and environmental monitoring identify areas for improvement, notably in thermal comfort and lighting quality. The study highlights the significance of holistic occupant satisfaction and IEQ in green building design, advocating for user-centric solutions and advanced technologies to enhance energy efficiency and create harmonious environments in educational buildings like the C6 building.
