Since the Asia is urbanizing at a great pace with its concentration in developing countries. Malaysia is one of the countries facing extreme urbanization and its urban population is going rapidly. This paradigm of urbanization is prompting people to develop shelter units for themselves and to find job opportunities. All this ultimately sums into the more building units. This increasing figure of units in built environment is making energy sources limited and there is need to develop a sustainable policy for building residential and commercial development projects.
Green Building Index
For this reason, Malaysia has established Green Building Index (GBI) to promote energy efficient buildings in terms of planning, construction and materials. Following stages are involved with GBI working frame:
STAGE 1
Application & Registration
STAGE 2
Design Assessment (DA)
STAGE 3
Completion & Verification Assessment (CVA)
According to GBI , 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’s lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green Buildings should be designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its surroundings.
SunWay Resort City.... A step towards green urban development
Sunway resort is a sustainable township developed on Green Building Index principles achieveing 30 % of the green spaces within the project capacity which is double the requirement of green township around 15%. this ensures the value for natural resources and is an intiative towards healthy living of human beings.
