Hypothesis Testing for KKR2 Project Pilot Test Study
There are 5 main Hyphothesis develop to anwers all the pertaining relationship between all the independent variables and dependent variables in the theoritical Framework.The Hyphothesis are:

Research Hypothesis Statictical Analysis
Hyphothesis 1 :There is significance relationships between project management procedures/ guidelines with implementation framework of Green Building .

Pearson Correlation
Hyphothesis 2 :There is significance relationships between Building design procedures/guidelines with implementation framework of Green Building

Pearson Correlation
Hyphothesis 3 :There is significance relationships between Government policies with implementation framework of Green Building

Pearson Correlation
Hyphothesis 4 : There is significance relationships between types of project execution with implementation framework of Green Building

Pearson Correlation
Hyphothesis 5 :There is significance relationships between Project staffs perception with implementation framework of Green Building.

Inferential Analysis
Inferential statistics will be used to make expected decision about analyse data and its relationship between two variables which is Pearson Correlation.

Pearson Correlation
In this pilot test, relationship between dependent variables and independent variables will be measure.To determine the relationship, correlation coefficient, r, will be analyse to determine the strength between the variables whether it is positive or negative.Criteria set by Davis (1971) (in Mohd Khairul Nizam, 2007) will be referred to evaluate the directions or strength of that relationship.Table 3 shows the strength of the relationship and the value of correlation coefficient, r as mention by Davis (1971).Sig.
Table 9 shows Pearson Correlation Test conducted in addition to answers relationship between Building Design Procedure/ guidelines and Implementation Framework of Green Building .The Correlation Pearson result shows h1 is accepted.(r = 0.930) wuth (p< 0.01).This results shows there is significance, positive and strong relationship between Buiding Design Procedure/guidelines and Implementation Framework of Green Building Design.The positive correlation values shows that the more comprehensive Building Design Procedures/guidelines the more effective Implementation Framework of Green Building for goverment building.C.Hyphothesis 3:There is significance relationships between Government policies with implementation framework of Green Building.Hyphothesis 5 :There is significance relationships between Project staffs perception with Implementation framework of Green Building .Table 12 shows Pearson Correlation Test conducted in addition to answers relationship between Project Staff Perception and Implementation Framework of Green Building .The Pearson Correlation result shows h1 is accepted.(r = 0.809) with (p< 0.01).This results shows there is significance, positive and strong relationship between Project Staff Perception and Implementation Framework of Green Building .The positive correlation values shows that the more positive project staff perception the more effective Implementation Framework of Green Building for goverment building.

Conclusion
According to the pilot test result conducted with KKR2 Project Team, the test result shows positive result with the hyphotesis developed and formulated between Project Management Procedures/ Guidelines, Building Design Procedures/Guidelines, Goverment Policies, Types of Project Execution and Project Staff Perception with Implementation Framework of Green Building.Therefore, the result shows there is significance and positive relationships between Project Management Procedures/ Guidelines, Building Design Procedures/Guidelines, Goverment Policies, Types of Project Execution and Project Staff Perception with Implementation Framework of Green Building.The comprehensive, well defined Project Management Procedures/ Guidelines, Building Design Procedures/Guidelines, Goverment Policies, Types of Project Execution and the clear ,positive perception of the Project Staff Perception ensure the effectiveness and success of Implementation Framework of Green Building for Goverment Building.Implementation framework of green building for Malaysian Government Building is important in addition to ensure the success of Public Works Department as implementers of Green building for Malaysian Government Projects.This framework also important for Malaysia to have a clear and systematic execution/implementation of green government project in Malaysia.
Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Sri Haji Mohamad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak has announce Malaysia commitment in United Nations Climate Change Congress 2009 (COP 15) in Copenhagen on 17 December 2009 that during 2020 Malaysia will reduce carbon emission rate up to 40 % from the current rate on 2005.There are also major issues for Malaysia that we will become a net importer of energy by 2015.The way Malaysian building has been designed will affect the energy consumption required.There is difficulty to justify Implementation Green Building in Government projects.Existing guidelines and Code of Practise on Energy Efficiency and Renewable energy to achieve low carbon building in the market such as MS1525, Dasar Teknologi Hijau and Development and publication of EE in Buildings Guidelines does not cover the strategies or method to implement green building for government project.Besides that, in Malaysia, there is only Green Building Index which is the rating tool for Green Building and private initiatives.
