The problems arise when these indoor air quality affect the health of the occupants health. Therefore, three office building was studied in this research. In this studies, only one factor of indoor air quality is being focused which is dust in the air. By using appropriate equipment which is Dust Trak Meter, the air in the selected office room of case study building will be tested. Other than that, an interview to the occupant of the room will be conducted to get more information about the IAQ in the selected room. Finally, the data collected will be analyzed.
