Factors affecting the water usage performance of standard application of green office in Thailand

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to study factors affecting the efficiency of standard application of Green Office and to develop indicators for measuring resources usage. Factors which affected the efficiency of standard application of Green Office consist of 12 factors. Indicators for water usage per head of private organization were 4.91 cubic meters per person per month. For state enterprise, governmental and educational organizations were 3.19, 5.51 and 6.98 cubic meters per person per month respectively. Indicators for water usage per area of private organizations were 0.09 cubic meters per area per month. For state enterprise, governmental and educational organizations were 0.09, 0.37 and 0.12 cubic meters per area per month respectively. Water supply usage was an uncontrollable activity because external factors involved such as the damage of instruments and service organization accessing the area which increased the amount of water usage. However, if an organization insists to operate the Green Office Project by following the operation manual and applying all related factors and indicators into the operation system, the usage of water supply, CO₂ and greenhouse gas will be decreased and use purposefully.
