Abstract
Problem statement: Buildings contribute significantly global environmental problems. Better design can minimize these impacts. Design Green Building (DGB) aims to reduce buildings' impact on the environment. However, the green design performance depends on design team attributes. In addition, the Governance System (GS) and Client Quality (CQ) as external factors have influence on Design Team Attributes (DTA) of green building. Approach: To identify mentioned factors questionnaire survey was conducted to collect dada required. A sample of 277 respondents has been covered under the study, including architects and engineers practicing design and consultancy building sectors. Analysis data includes descriptive and quantitative analysis by using SSPS software version 16 was carried out. A correlation and regression models was established to explore the relationship between identified factors. Results: Architect is most involved one during the design process of green buildings with mean 4.82 followed by mechanical and electrical engineers with mean 4.52 and 4.44 respectively, while structural and civil engineers, interior designers and quantity survivors were 3.71, 3.29 and 2.88 respectively. The most design team attributes were investigated have a significance degree of influence except design team reputation. On the other hand, the other hand, the Governance system and client quality have major influence on these attributes. Conclusion: Involvement and participation of all project stakeholders are required. Design team attributes are the key factors to improve green design performance. Governance system and client quality play major role to enhance design team attributes. Therefore, effective regulations and policies may increase performance of the green Effective design team management device should be applied to implement Design team attributes effectively in order to improve green design team performance.

Design Green Building (DGB) aims to reduce the impact of the building on the environment
The objective of this study is to investigate the involvement level of design team members during the green process and identify key attributes in order to improve green design performance
There is a lot to know about the design green buildings and there is still much study to be done both in Malaysia and internationally on methodologies and green design development and in design team Attributes
Summary
Design Green Building (DGB) aims to reduce the impact of the building on the environment. Good design team must have the proper design capability and ability to interpret the clients’ needs. These attributes are essential because, unless the design is right, a satisfactory building can never be produced (Ling, 2002). While frameworks exist for evaluating project team technical performance, measuring relational and sustainability performance have been problematic (Mahesh et al, 2007) This highlights the importance of the design stage and the performance of the design teams should be carefully examined. The objective of this study is to investigate the involvement level of design team members during the green process and identify key attributes in order to improve green design performance. The study investigated the variables of governance system and client attributes that influence design team
