Abstract
Adaptive reuse can help increase operating efficiency, and "green adaptive reuse" is the best option for historical buildings. There are no specific important environmental elements in the Malaysia Green Building Index (GBI) that are catered for, particularly for the reuse of historical buildings in the Malaysian setting. There is a vital need to identify certain essential environmental aspects that can be used to develop green features in Malaysia's adaptive reuse projects. This study examines the perspectives of adaptive reuse practitioners who have worked on historical building adaptive reuse projects through semi-structured interviews. These findings may assist GBI Malaysia in strengthening by identifying the fundamental environmental aspects for green adaptive reuse and classifying and sorting the elements into major categories in a meaningful sequence compatible with historical connections, sustainable and city planning knowledge.
