INTRODUCTION TO GREEN BUILDING
“Green building practices can reduce a building’s
operating cost by as much as 9 percent, increase
building values by 7.5 percent and realise a 6.6
percent increase in return on investment. So,
green buildings don’t just make sound ecological
and environmental sense – they make sound
economic sense too.”
- Tony Arnel
Chairman, World Green Building Council -

THE IMPACT OF BUILDINGS
• Consume 32% or the world’s resources
• Up to 40% of energy consumption (including embodied
energy)
• Generate 40% of waste materials to landfill

WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING?
“Green building is the practice of creating structures and using
processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-
efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and
deconstruction. This practice expands and complements the
classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability,
and comfort.”

WHY GREEN BUILDING?
• Save energy and resources, recycle materials and minimise
the emission of toxic substances throughout its life cycle
• Harmonise with local climate, traditions, culture and the
surrounding environment
• Able to sustain and improve the quality of human life whilst
maintaining the capacity of the ecosystem at local and global
levels
• Efficient use of resources, have operational saving

7
RESISTANCE AGAINST GREEN BUILDING
INITIATIVES
• Limited knowledge and expertise in sustainable design &
management (lack of life cycle cost analysis knowledge)
• Lack of directives from top management
• Lack of integrated design team
• Separation of capital and operating budgets (whole life cost
not considered)
• Perception of longer completion & higher initial/capital costs
of green building

ELEMENTS OF GREEN BUILDING THAT
CONTRIBUTES TO SUSTAINABILITY
• Energy efficiency / renewable energy – reduce CO2 emission
to atmosphere (less greenhouse effect)
• Water efficiency – preservation of water resources, reduce
need of water treatment process
• Regional materials – reduce material transportation
• Material / waste management – preserve resources, reduce
dumping waste to the Earth soil
• Sustainable timber – reuse, recycle, use of timber from
planted trees

9
ELEMENTS OF GREEN BUILDING THAT
CONTRIBUTES TO SUSTAINABILITY (cont’d)
• Site planning / management – site selection, brownfield
redevelopment, connectivity, stormwater control, heat
island effect
• Refrigerants & clean agents – promotes phase-out of ozone-
depleting substances
• Sustainable landscaping – water-efficient, low maintenance,
storm water retention, reduce ‘heat island effect’,
pollutants-capturing plants

10
WHAT IS INDEX

• Statistical reference that provides security value at

related representation.

• Index represents as a measurement to specific

industry or market and benchmark against the
performance of respective stock market or economy.

Green Building Index (GBI) – MALAYSIA
Indek Bangunan Hijau
GREEN BUILDING INDEX MALAYSIA (GBI)
- What is it?
• Environmental rating system developed by PAM (Pertubuhan
Arkitek Malaysia / Malaysian Institute of Architects) and
ACEM (the Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia)
• Fundamentally derived from existing rating tools, including
the Singapore Green Mark and the Australian Green Star
system
• Extensively modified for relevance to the Malaysian tropical
weather, environmental context, cultural and social needs
• Applying to MS1525:2007 Code of Practice for Energy
Efficiency and Renewal Energy for Non-Residential Buidling

16
GREEN BUILDING INDEX MALAYSIA (GBI)
- What is it?
• Launched by the Government on 21st May 2009
• Building owners obtaining GBI Certificates from 24th October
2009 until 31st December 2014 shall be given income tax
exemption equivalent to the additional capital expenditure
in obtaining such certificates
• Buyers purchasing buildings with GBI Certificates within the
above same period be given stamp duty exemption on
instruments of transfer of ownership.

17
GREEN BUILDING INDEX MALAYSIA (GBI)
- Objectives
• Define green building by establishing a common language
and standard of measurement
• Promote integrated, whole-building design
• Recognise and reward environmental leadership
• Transform the built environment to reduce the
environmental impact of development
• Ensure new buildings remain relevant in the future and
existing buildings are refurbished and thereafter sustained
properly to remain relevant

POINTS GBI RATING

86 to 100 points Platinum

76 to 85 points Gold
66 to 75 points Silver
50 to 65 points Certified
STAGE 1
Application & Registration • Complete and submit the GBI
Application Form with the
Applicant’s contact details,
project information and
supporting documents to
Greenbuildingindex Sdn Bhd
(GSB). The Registration Fee will
be set depending on the size of
the project. Upon payment of
the fees, a GBI registration
number will be given and the
GBI Terms and Conditions will
be signed between the
Applicant and GSB. A GBI
Certifier will then be appointed
for the project.
 • STAGE
STAGE 2 Design Assessment (DA)
2

Design Assessment (DA) • When the Applicant is ready he may then

submit the project for GBI Design Assessment
(DA) either directly or through an appointed
GBI Facilitator. Submission should be done
when all key criteria of the design are
finalised and preferably before the
commencement of construction so as to
enable the project to be monitored and
assessed in its entirety. The GBI Certifier will
then undertake the Design Assessment for
GSB. This may involve a presentation by the
Applicant and their Project Design Team or by
the GBI Facilitator. The GBI Certifier will upon
completion, table the assessment report to
the GBIAP to register and award the
certification. The provisional GBI Design
Assessment certification will then be issued
with the accompanying GBI score sheet to
show the scores achieved.
STAGE 3
Completion & Verification Assessment (CVA)
• STAGE 2
Design Assessment (DA)
THE GBI RATING SYSTEM
• Achieving points in these targeted areas will mean that the building
will likely be more environment-friendly than those that do not
address the issues. Under the GBI assessment framework, points will
also be awarded for achieving and incorporating environment-friendly
features which are above current industry practice.

ENVIRONMENT- Is it too late?
• Maintenance best practice – periodical, predictive
• Renovation – materials, fittings, energy efficiency
• Resource management – modified operation hours, overtime
optimization, shared workspace
• Purchasing – whole life cost, priority on energy efficient
materials, fitting, methods
• Establish energy management policy – top-down approach
