1 GREEN BUILDING INDEX
What are the LOCAL issues for Malaysia? HYPER URBANIZATION - Urban Population expected to grow by between 40% to 50% by 2030 from 70% to 80% of Total Population. The way we plan our Cities will be a Key component of a sustainable future Malaysia will become a Net Importer of Energy by 2015.How we design our buildings will reflect how much energy they require to run. Malaysia has the HIGHEST per capita Energy Consumption among ASEAN countries No control over import of energy inefficient equipment as there are no proper standards – WTO requirement
What are the major issues? Malaysia as Net Energy Importer SOURCE : PTM
Why Have GREEN or SUSTAINABLE Buildings? Save energy and resources, recycle materials and minimise the emission of toxic substances throughout its life cycle, Harmonise with the local climate, traditions, culture and the surrounding environment, and Able to sustain and improve the quality of human life whilst maintaining the capacity of the ecosystem at local and global levels
Why Have GREEN BUILDING INDEX? Allows for easy public evaluation of what are REAL green buildings, Serves as key design principles for Architects and Engineers to design green buildings, and Performance parameters are set for better TOTAL BUILDING PERFORMANCE
BUDGET 2010 : GREEN BUILDING INCENTIVES On Promoting Construction of Green Buildings To expand the use of green technology, the Government launched the Green Building Index (GBI) on 21 May 2009. GBI is a green rating index on environmentally friendly buildings. Green buildings save utility costs and preserve the quality of the environment. To promote green technology, the Government proposes that: First: Building owners obtaining GBI Certificates from 24 October 2009 until 31 December 2014 be given income tax exemption equivalent to the additional capital expenditure in obtaining such Certificates; and Second: Buyers purchasing buildings with GBI Certificates from developers be given stamp duty exemption on instruments of transfer of ownership. The exemption amount is equivalent to the additional cost incurred in obtaining the GBI Certificates. This exemption is given to buyers who execute sales and purchase agreements from 24 October 2009 until 31 December 2014.

Temperature and Humidity ( Subang Weather Data) Why do we need to air condition our Offices? Relative Humidity 80% The Comfort Zone
3 DAYLIGHTING ESSENTIALS
AFTER AIR CONDITIONING LIGHTING ENERGY CONSUMPTIONB IS THE NEXT MOST IMPORTANT FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
WINDOWS & DAYLIGHTING IN BUILDINGS Daylight in Building offset electrical lighting load Electrical lights produces more heat than Diffused Daylight Zone electrical lighting system correctly
DAYLIGHTING ESSENTIALS • Bring the light in high, above the view plane • Diffuse sunlight inside the space. Don’t allow beam sunlight to strike work surfaces. • Use only north and south vertical windows • Choose the glazing carefully.
Continuous strip of narrow windows up high A few view windows. These have a low visible transmittance (0.2 – 0.3), to balance the luminance of the walls with the luminance of the outdoor view. Every work place in the building should have a visual connection to the outside Eggshell white color in the upper part of the room to bounce the light across the room Mid-to-light colors in the lower part of the room
Effect of Window design on daylight distribution Max daylight penetration = 2.5xWindow Height
4 HEAT GAIN THROUGH WINDOWS
TYPICAL BUILDING ENVELOPE HEAT GAINS OTTV = 15a(1-WWR)Uw + 6(WWR)Uf + 194xCFxWWRxSC Heat Conduction through Walls Heat Conduction through Windows Solar Heat Gain through Windows 5% to 10% 10% to 20% 75% to 85% OTTV < 50 W/m2
Let the MAXIMUM DAYLIGHT in Block out the SOLAR HEAT GAIN by maximizing the SHADING COEFFICIENT
WINDOW SHADING External Shading Devices are more effective than Internal Blinds. Only need to block out Direct Sunlight.

IMPROVING THE SHADING COFFECIENT OF WINDOWS Window SC = Glass SC x Shading Device SC SCwindow = 0.6 x 0.8 = 0.48 a reduction of more than 50%
Projection Window Height R1 = Projection / Window Height Typical = 0.3m/1.2m = 0.25 SC = 0.8
