Abstrak_ Perancangan bangunan yang tepat dapat mengurangi kerusakan lingkungan serta mengurangi konsumsi energi  saat proses pembangunan maupun saat gedung telah beroperasi. Perancangan dengan pendekatan iklim dan konsep green building berpengaruh terhadap konservasi energi terutama energi listrik.  Menara Suara Merdeka merupakan perkantoran green building pertama di kota Semarang. Dalam proses pembangunan green building, diperlukan ahli yang berpengalaman merencanakan, membangun, dan merawat bangunan. Melihat beberapa fakta tersebut, perlu diadakan penelitian mengenai penerapan Green Building di Gedung Menara Suara Merdeka.
