Negative Impact of Built Environment
Construction industry is a major consumer of non-renewable resources and a
massive producer of waste, and the operation of buildings is responsible for around
half of the total CO2 emissions.
30-40% of natural resources were exploited by the building
industry.
50% of energy used for heating and cooling in buildings.
40% of world consumption of materials converts to building
environment.
40% of waste sent to landfill.
12% of water consumption in building industry.

What is Green Building Index (GBI)?
Green Building Index (GBI) which is Malaysias first Comprehensive green
rating tool was launched on May 21 2009 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

GBI is an environmental rating system for buildings developed by PAM

(Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia / Malaysian Institute of Architects) and
ACEM (the Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia).

It is fundamentally derived from certain existing green rating tools, including:

Green Mark (Singapore)
Green Star System (Australia)

However, it had been extensively modified to cope with Malaysian tropical

weather, environmental context, cultural and social needs.

III. Harvesting natural lighting.
Efficiency IV. Adopting the best practices in building services
unclosing use of renewable energy, ensuring proper
testing, commissioning and regular maintenance.

Indoor Good indoor air quality, acoustics, visual and thermal

comfort can be achieved by:
I. using low volatile organic compound materials.
Environment II. application of quality air filtration.
III. proper control of air temperature , movement and

Who Can Use The Green Building Index (GBI)?
I. All member of Project Teams, Building Owners, Developers and other
interested parties such as Contractors, Government and Design and Build
Contractors are encouraged to use GBI.
II. GBI is used to validate environmental initiatives of the design phase of new
construction.
III. Encouraged the usage of GBI on such projects to assess and improve their
environmental attributes.
IV. The usage of GBI (non residential) tool without formal certification by an
independent accredited GBI certifier does not entitle the user to achieve
Green Building Index rating.
V. Moreover, no fee is payable to Greenbuildingindex Sdn Bhd (GSB) under such
use.
VI. However, a formal certification of the Green Building Index rating requires fee
and formal process offered by (GSB).
