The document discusses low carbon building initiatives in Malaysia. It provides details on Malaysia's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 45% by 2030 under the Paris Agreement. It then discusses various low carbon building assessment tools used in Malaysia, including the GreenPASS system developed by CIDB that assesses buildings based on actual carbon emission reductions. Examples are given of low carbon buildings in Malaysia such as the LEO building and GEO building that have achieved significant energy savings through strategies like daylighting, efficient lighting and equipment, insulation, renewable energy systems, and energy monitoring.

2009 : COP 15 in Copenhagen
2015 : COP 21 in Paris
“… Malaysia intends to reduce its
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity
of GDP by 45% by 2030 relative to the
emissions intensity of GDP in 2005.”

4. 2010 : Green Technology Policy to support
green and low carbon development
Green technology is the development and application of products,
equipment, and systems used to conserve the natural environment and
resources, which minimises and reduces the negative impact of human
activities
 Minimises the degradation of the environment.
 It has zero or low green house (GHG) emission.
 It safe for use and promotes healthy and improved
environment for all forms of life
 It conserves the uses of energy and natural
resources; and
 It promotes the use of renewable resources.

12. • Low Carbon Building is similar to the conventional
green building system which promotes uses of green
technology and green habits to reduce the degradation of
the environment.
• The low carbon building use Carbon as metric for
quantitative references to assess the actual
environment impact and not based on points
collected.
• A performance based: Does not address and assess on
how the building being designed. Only measure and
assess the actual carbon reduction.
What are the Low Carbon buildings

13. • Straight forward, flexible, transparent, easy to
implement, consistance, easy to monitor since
based on actual performance. Measurable,
recordable, comparable, justifiable, can be
monitor and easy to proof.
• Cheaper and affordable since it is straight
forward and focus only the relevant criteria that
have high impact (lower $$$/CO2 reduction cost).
• Global trend - Relevant and gain popularity at
international level.

41. Common Question by the Industry
Is the Low Carbon Building / Energy
Efficient Building a green building?
Answer = YES !
As a basic green building
Based on facts;
 Green Technology Policy Definition.
 Sustainable energy is part of basic green component.
 Most global green buildings movement uses climate change
as key reason for going green (key contributor to climate change
is carbon emission that mostly by product of energy consumption.
 Proof in Malaysia : The EE building (LEO & GEO Building)
achieved Green Building Certification (GBI)
