Whether the intention of green building design can be realized in buildings needs to be verified in practice.This study firstly investigates the basic climate conditions including the monthly average temperatures

humidity

wind directions

and wind speeds in Sydney

Australia

based on which it introduces some passive design features such as natural ventilation

thermal mass

natural lighting and shading control of an educational and office building in the University of New South Wales.Then

it reviews some problems identified from the post-occupancy stage of the building and discusses the strategies to solve the problems.Finally

it suggests that to implement the design intentions and ensure the expected performance of green buildings

attentions should be paid to supervise and direct implementation of the green design strategies and techniques in the whole process(from preliminary design

working drawing design

construction

to the occupancy stage) of building practice.
