RATIONALE OF LOGO

MyCREST’s main objective, as depicted by the logo, is to createsustainable development practices, with emphasis on Malaysia.

The logo symbolises the nation’s overall realisation to achieve thepinnacle of success in its effort to reduce carbon emission for thebenet of its populace and the world at large.

Light green colour is used as the main colour; a symbol of the effort to practisesustainable development and apply it in continuous and refreshing manner at

every stage of the building life cycle.

Free-hand pattern / organic design symbolises the importance of conservationand sustainable environment.

MyCREST word along with two (2) horizontal lines reect the criteria containedin the evaluation process as the foundation / basis for sustainable development.

CR in bold letters emphasise important of carbon reduction in the assessment.

The parallelograms and trapezoids signify four major areas in the National GreenTechnology Policy, namely:

i. Energyii. Environmentiii. Economyiv. Social

Leaf shape reects the practice of green technologies that become major synthesisfor life and well-being of the environment. Vertically-positioned leaf symbolizes the

efforts / ongoing commitment towards ensuring that every aspect of life is imbuedwith spirit of sustainable development in line with the current aspiration for greenliving.

The ve (5) leaves represent the aims/objectives of the National GreenTechnology Policy, namely:

i. Minimise degradation of the environmentii. Zero / low greenhouse gas emissioniii. Provide safe and healthy environmentiv. Conserve the use of energy and natural resourcesv. Promote use of renewable resources

INTRODUCTIONThis Green Building Rating Tool is designed as a sustainable

building rating system or tool that aims to quantify, hence reducebuilt environment’s impact in terms of carbon emissions andenvironmental implication while taking into account a more holisticlife-cycle view of the built environment. It also aims to integratesocio-economic considerations relating to the built environmentand urban development.

WHAT IS MyCREST?The Malaysian Carbon Reduction and EnvironmentalSustainability Tool (MyCREST) is a tool that guides constructionindustry players and stakeholders to design, construct and operatebuildings that integrate low carbon and sustainable practices. Abuilding that subscribes to MyCREST will be given certicationbased on points achieved.

MyCREST was developed by taking into account the whole

building life cycle starting from pre-design up to demolition stage.

Recent developments in climate change have made it more urgent for us as nation networks and communitiesto shift the gear of sustainability from idealism to action. Currently, we need a direct response to the climatechange, which has inadvertently moved from an idle threat to a global phenomenon. Climate change is

a global problem requiring action on a global scale which has the capacity to offset all of mankind’s pasteconomic achievements and reduce our socio-economic conditions. Humanity is faced with grim prospectof downgrading our living standard and economic progress, or even a looming disaster in the upcoming eraof future generations.

Buildings consume approximately 50% of electricity produced in the world. As a result, buildings, whethercommercial, institutional or residential, are responsible for approximately 30% of greenhouse gas emissionsin the world. Majority originate from burning of fossil fuels to operate the buildings, while others originate frommanufacturing of buildings materials as well as operations and long-term maintenance.

Hence, the primary objective of this system is to create a built environment that can respond to the needin minimising carbon emission and even ‘zero-rise’ net carbon emissions of the built environment. It is alsointended to address the net benets of the socio-economic aspects of sustainability in a more holistic manner.

In developing the system, the need for performance-based approach to address building design andconstruction towards sustainability has been recognised by providing a framework linking sustainabilityindicators to performance-based index. The system is founded on the principle that a model standard mustaddress building performance beyond those captured by the current rating systems or other evaluationguides. Therefore, it shall be useable and adoptable to be effective in the construction industry.

The main principle of the system is that economic growth should be spurred in waysthat minimise environmental impacts of the built environment. Implementationof the energy efcient and sustainable practices in building design, constructionand maintenance, will result in the increase of prosperity in a clean and safeenvironment.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM

PREFACE: WHY INTEGRATE CARBONREDUCTION AND SUSTAINABILITY

INDICATORS?

AIMS1. To integrate carbon assessment criteria and reduction strategies

into the matrix of a combined sustainable assessment ratingsystem of the built environment.

2. To provide a more holistic rating system by integrating andextending the present criteria into life cycle–linked performancesand issues.

3. To extend the present green building assessment into life-cycleimpacts and its quantication.

4. To combine both carbon emission and sustainable performancefactors into a combined criterion linked to design, construction,commission and operation of a building.

5. To be in line with the National Green Technology Policy and theaims of Low Carbon Cities Framework (LCCF).

OBJECTIVES1. To quantify the environmental impacts of the built environment

in both carbon reduction and sustainability terms.2. To ensure the environmental best practices in accordance with

target, global and local stands.3. To maintain and improve a database of impacts and best

practice case studies in order to reduce carbon emissions in

design and building life-cycle impacts.

4. To raise awareness of building life-cycle impacts caused by thebuilt environment and its components.5. To balance robustness with ‘durability’ and practicality and ease

of use.6. To produce a tool exible enough to be used by all stake

holders, consultants and contractors for all building types andscenarios .

7. To balance long and short term targets.8. To balance environmental and ‘human’ socio–economic issues.

KEY DEFINITIONSA non-exhaustive list of denitions, as found in the system, is as follows:

1) Certication Phase – the three certication awards which have their own scorecards for the three mainphases of the system Design, Construction and Operation & Maintenance.

2) Criteria –the ‘category’ or ‘group’ of points.3) Sub-criteria – the term which means ‘point’4) Scorecard – the list of maximum points or sub-criteria in the system (S, CR and CI sub-criteria), which

an applicant can choose from.

This list of denitions will be improved through addition and amendment from time to time.

CRITERIA There are 11 CRITERIA in the system:

These criteria are then implemented according to three certication phases: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION

AND OPERATION & MAINTENANCE. Depending on each phase, the criteria are adjusted for differentrequirements and relevance according to that particular phase.

THE RATING SYSTEM:FEATURES &

HIGHLIGHT

The following summary and key points give an overview ofthe key features, characteristics and highlights of the system,

including its scorecards and calculators.

1. The structure of the system is based on total points accumulated and weighted from list of criteria whichcovers the site, energy, water & material consumption and indoor environment. The total points arebased on a broad and in-depth study of the weightage given to similar criteria in various internationalgreen systems in the world. These include LEED, CEPAS, HKBEAM, GRIHA, GBI, BREEAM andGREENMARK. The scoring weightage reects the average weightage from the combination of thesevarious green building and sustainable rating systems.

2. As Malaysia is yet to have a carbon intensity database orcarbon index of buildings and master plan, the presentsystem converts points to carbon emission values.

However, key points such as energy and water arebased on the award of ‘percentage savings on emissionsabove a baseline value’. These savings are converted topoints and reconverted to carbon emission value in thesystem total carbon summation page.

3. Many of the features, ratings and emphasis are taken from a combination of GreenPASS carbon

assessment system developed by CIDB and pHJKR developed by the Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia.
