Preliminary research shows the shortcoming of Building Performance field of research to measure outdoor performance of building mainly EETP factors. Accordingly, this research aimed at proposing a future building performance towards Energy Efficient Travel Plan (EETP) based on user friendly EETP factors. The research methodology engaged three research phases. Phase 1 was to identify user friendly EETP factors. In this phase after a literature review, fix-format self reporting interview survey was conducted among experts in Travel Plan implementation in Malaysia. ‘Phase II’ was to investigate effective Building performance factors on user friendly EETP, within the literature review conducted on building performances followed by brainstorming with 5 experts in building management field of research. Final phase was to validate the proposed building performance towards EETP in a futuristic cross-impact scenario study. In summary, this research introduced three main outcomes, first: a list of user friendly EETP factors, second: EETP building performance factors and Third: future building performance factors towards EETP based on futuristic cross-impact analysis. In conclusion, this study introduced lists of new innovative future building performances including; BCS (Building Communication System), BEEM (Building Energy Education Management), EETP (Energy Efficient Travel Plan), BRc.S (Building Recycling System), and BAgr. (Building Agriculture) investigated as future building performance factors.
