Our Environment My Personal Conviction

Data from the Construction Industry

Building sector consumes as much as 40% of the world energy 12% of its water 32% worlds resources Contributes to 40% waste sent to landfills Responsible for 33% energy related GHG emissions

Definition of Green Buildings

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 lifecycle through better sitting, design, construction and operation. Green buildings should be designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its surrounding

GREEN BUILDING INDEX

Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia

The Green Building Index Malaysia is a joint effort of PAM and ACEM which represent two neutral bodies in the certification and accreditation of green index. The GBI panel of PAM-ACEM has been working since 2008 in developing tools for non-residential and residential development.

GBI Malaysia was launched in April 2009 and to-date: 1first GBI certified building (LEO Building) 2Over 40 registered projects for green certification

Cost of Going Green

Green building practices can reduce a building operating cost by as much as 9 percent, increase building values by 7.5% and realise a 6.6 percent increase in return on investment. So green buildings dont just make sound ecological and environmental sense they make sound economic sense too TONY ARNEL, Chairman World Green Building council

Major Cost Items
