1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Definition of Green Building Index (GBI)

The Green Building Index is an environmental rating system for buildings developed
by PAM (Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia / Malaysian Institute of Architects) and ACEM
(the Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia). The Green Building Index is
Malaysia’s first comprehensive rating system for evaluating the environmental
design and performance of Malaysian buildings based on the six (6) main criteria of
Energy Efficiency, Indoor Environment Quality, Sustainable Site Planning and
Management, Materials and Resources, Water Efficiency and Innovation. The Green
Building Index is developed specifically for the Malaysian tropical weather,
environmental and developmental context, cultural and social needs. The GBI
initiative aims to assist the building industry in its march towards sustainable
development. The GBI environmental rating system is created to:

 Define green buildings by establishing a common language and standard of

measurement
 Promote integrated and whole-building design
 Recognise and reward environmental leadership
 Transform the built environment to reduce its environmental impact
 Ensure new buildings remain relevant in the future and existing buildings are
refurbished and upgraded properly to remain relevant.

A Green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use – energy,

water, and materials – while reducing building impact on human health and the
environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better siting, design,
construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green Buildings should be
designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its
surroundings.

 Green buildings are designed to save energy and resources, recycle materials
and minimise the emission of toxic substances throughout its life cycle
 Green buildings harmonise with the local climate, traditions, culture and the
surrounding environment.

 Green buildings are able to sustain and improve the quality of human life
whilst maintaining the capacity of the ecosystem at local and global levels.
 Green buildings make efficient use of resources, have significant operational
savings and increases workplace productivity.
 Building green sends the right message about a company or organisation –
that it is well run, responsible, and committed to the future.

1.2 UNIMAS Student Pavilion

Figure 1.0: UNIMAS Student Pavilion

UNIMAS Student Pavilion originated from the idea of a Student Centre where most students’
activities converge into one common place. UNIMAS Student Pavilion achieves this on a
bigger scale with more facilities provided for students to socialize and relax at the edge of a
man-made lake. The informal setting is achieved by a series of independent single-storey
building structures at ground level linked by a covered walkway which blending themselves
into the natural surroundings. This building under category Non-Residential New
Construction (NRNC).

2.0 CONTENT

The GBI Non-Residential Rating tool evaluates the sustainable aspects of buildings that
are commercial, institutional and industrial in nature. This includes factories, offices,
hospitals, universities, colleges, hotels and shopping complexes. Of the six criteria that
make up the GBI rating, emphasis is placed on energy efficiency and indoor
environmental quality as these have the greatest impact in the areas of energy use and
well-being of the occupants and users of the building. By improving on the efficiency of
active (mechanical and electrical) systems as well as incorporating good passive designs
together with proper sustainable maintenance regimes, significant reductions in
consumed energy can be realised. This can lead to a reduced carbon footprint and also
offers long-term savings for the building owners.

3.0 CONCLUSION
Based on our assessment, score for criteria of Energy Efficiency is 30 out of 35. For
criteria of Indoor Environmental Quality, the score is 18.5 out of 21 and score for criteria
of Sustainable Site Planning & Management is 16 out of 16. For criteria of Material &
Resources, Water Efficiency and Innovation the score is 2 out of 11, 10 out of 10 and 6
out of 7. Total score for this overall assessment criteria is 82.5 out of 100. This score
within range of 76 to 85 points which awarded as Gold GBI Rating.

4.0 RECOMMENDATION
In order to achieve Platinum GBI Rating, it is important for UNIMAS Student Pavilion to
improve their system by implementation of using environmentally-friendly refrigerants
and clean agents at UNIMAS Student Pavilion. This environmentally-friendly refrigerants
which use zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) products and non-synthetic (natural)
refrigerants or clean agents with zero ODP and negligible Global Warming Potential
could reduce the impact of the built environment on its surroundings then increase
score for criteria of Material & Resources. UNIMAS Student Pavilion also can provide 3R
bins which means Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to increase in the ratio of recyclable
materials, further reusing of raw mate rials and manufacturing wastes and overall
reduction in resources and energy used. USP also can improve by provide the proper
signage, building layout and fire safety procedure for building emergency purposes and
awareness. This awareness can prove how serious UNIMAS Student Pavilion to achieve
Platinum GBI Rating and well known as Green Building in Malaysia.
