This research evaluates air quality in office buildings that have received the Green Building Standard and general office buildings by comparing them with the ASHRAE Standard. To lead the way to manage and improve the efficiency of ventilation to be suitable for office buildings in order to provide good indoor air quality suitable for work by collecting data with air quality monitors such as CO2 CH2O TVOC PM2.5 and PM10, found that the air quality of the green building contained CO2 CH2O TVOC PM2.5 and PM10 equal to 730 ppm 0.031 ppm 0.083 ppm 0.010 mg/m3 and 0.011 mg/m3 respectively, which passed all ASHRAE Standard standards. It was found that the temperature and relative humidity of the green building are suitable for the building users according to the Olgyay’s Bioclimatic Chart. Therefore, the general building should improve the efficiency of ventilation so that the air quality Suitable for office buildings, comfortable conditions for workers.
