1What is green architecture?


3/29

Green building is the practice of increasing theefficiency with which buildings use resources energy, water, and materials whilereducing building impacts on human health andthe environment, through better sitting, design,construction, operation, maintenance, and

removal the complete building life cycle.

Effective green building can lead to1) reduced operating costs by increasing

productivity and using less energy and water,2) improved public and occupant health due to

improved indoor air quality, and3) reduced environmental impacts by, for example,

lessening storm water runoff and the heateffect.

- Glass (silkscreen on glass)

- Hempcrete (made from natural materials,being non-toxic, and providing energy efficiency.Formed into foot-thick walls on a wooden frame,the material eliminates the need for bothinsulation and sheet rock. Such walls are

breathable and have a pleasant, naturalappearance, as well as the ability to alleviate

noise pollution from the outer world.)

- Recycle waste, water

- Photovoltaic system

The Leadership in Energy and EnvironmentalDesign (LEED) Green Building Rating System,developed by the U.S Green Council (USGBC),provides a suite of standards for environmentallysustainable construction.

Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus-based national rating system for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. LEED addresses allbuilding types and emphasizes state-of-the-artstrategies in five areas: sustainable site

development, water savings, energy efficiency,materials and resources selection, and indoorenvironmental quality.

LEED was created to accomplishthe following:

Define green building" byestablishing a common standard ofmeasurement

Promote integrated, whole-building design practices

Recognize environmentalleadership in the building industry

Stimulate green competition

Raise consumer awareness ofgreen building benefits

Transform the building market

Green Building Council members, representingevery sector of the building industry, developed and

continue to refine LEED. The rating systemaddresses six major areas:

Site planning

Water management

Energy and atmosphere

Materials and resources

Indoor environmental quality

Innovation and design process

WHAT IS THE GREEN BUILDING INDEX?

The Green Building Index (GBI) is Malaysias industry recognised green ratingtool for buildings to promote sustainability in the built environment and raiseawareness among Developers, Architects, Engineers, Planners, Designers,Contractors and the Public about environmental issues and our responsibilityto the future generations.The GBI rating tool provides an opportunity for developers and building ownersto design and construct green, sustainable buildings that can provide energysavings, water savings, a healthier indoor environment, better connectivity topublic transport and the adoption of recycling and greenery for their projectsand reduce our impact on the environment.

GBI is developed specifically for the Malaysian-tropical climate, environmental and developmental

context, cultural and social needs and is created to:

Define green buildings by establishing a commonlanguage and standard of measurement;

Promote integrated, whole-building designs that

provides a better environment for all; Recognise and reward environmental leadership;

Transform the built environment to reduce its negativeenvironmental impact; and

Ensure new buildings remain relevant in the future

and existing buildings are refurbished and upgradedto improve the overall quality of our building stock.

3THE GBI RATING SYSTEM

BUILDINGS WILL BE AWARDED THE GBI RATINGBASED ON 6 KEY CRITERIA:

1 Energy Efficiency (EE)

2 Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ)

3 Sustainable Site Planning & Management (SM)

4 Material and Resources (MR)

5 Water Efficiency (WE)

6 Innovation (IN)

1) Energy Efficiency (EE)Improve energy consumption by optimising building orientation,

minimizing solar heat gain through the building envelope, harvestingnatural lighting, adopting the best practices in building services includinguse of renewable energy, and ensuring proper testing, commissioningand regular maintenance.


19/29

3THE GBI RATING SYSTEM2) Indoor Environment Quality (EQ)Achieve good quality performance in indoor air quality, acoustics, visual andthermal comfort. These will involve the use of low volatile organic compound

materials, application of quality air filtration, proper control of air temperature,movement and humidity.3) Sustainable Site Planning & Management (SM)Selecting appropriate sites with planned access to public transportation,community services, open spaces and landscaping. Avoiding and conservingenvironmentally sensitive areas through the redevelopment of existing sites

and brownfields. Implementing proper construction management, storm watermanagement and reducing the strain on existing infrastructure capacity.4) Materials & Resources (MR)Promote the use of environment-friendly materials sourced from sustainablesources and recycling. Implement proper construction waste management withstorage, collection and re-use of recyclables and construction formwork andwaste.5) Water Efficiency (WE)Rainwater harvesting, water recycling and water-saving fittings.6) Innovation (IN)Innovative design and initiatives that meet the

objectives of the GBI.

Eco-design is designing in such a way that thehuman built environment integrates benignly andseamlessly with the natural environment. Both thehuman-made and the natural must blend together, sothere will be no pollution, no waste, no detrimentalconsequences on the environment.

Dr. Ken Yeang, architect

We all have responsibility. That

think globally act locally thatsover used so much, its real, weall must take action.
