Building constructions are among main causes of climate change, and in smaller circumstances, can affect the occupants' health and comfort. GREENSHIP uses the concept of green building as the ways to catch up with climate-related building problems. Aspects of indoor health and comfort (IHC) assessment in GREENSHIP are carried out to improve the building's space in terms of user's health and comfort from its finishes works. This research was conducted to analyze the parameters in IHC aspects of nine-floor integrated classroom buildings at the State University of Malang, which covers CO2 monitoring, no-smoking campaign, chemical pollutant, outside view and daylight, and interior plants. The results of the study stated that: (1) a no-smoking campaign, as benchmark for top management's commitment to determine all smoke-free rooms has met the prerequisites; (2) for setting in high-density rooms, CO2 sensors have been installed and procedures in monitoring the CO2 is applied; (3) as for the use of finishes material use, floors and walls components use low volatile organic compound (VOC) or formaldehyde and comply with GREENSHIP, whilst ceiling components do not use asbestos-containing materials; (4) the outside view can be accessed by 16,485 m2 of 21,777 m2 or 75.70% of floor area on facing directly to the openings, and for optimal use of natural light, the buildings has the light intensity value of 213 lux, which is still low compared to requirements by GREENSHIP (300 lux); (5) as for the use of interior plants, the buildings have 2% of its area for plant canopy or equals with 871.09 m2 © 2024 Author(s).
