This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1.0Introduction
The Land Parcel is located at the city center of Kuala Lumpur, where it is situated
estimate 2km away from KLCC. It occupies a top-tier location in the heart of the city,
and is not far away from LRT station which located at KLCC station. Furthermore, it is
also surrounded by well-established commercial and residential developments.
With a site area of 7,603.2m2, the land parcel is distributed into 3 plots; Plot A1 is the
main parcel for commercial use with an area of 5,990.9 sqm, Plot A2 is an open space
with an area of 1,612.4 sqm and lastly Plot A3 is a subterranean parcel with an area of
180.0 sqm is stated. From what we can observe in the Book of Technical Conditions of
Tender, Plot A1 and Plot A2 has a total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 77,162 sqm. A
minimum GFA of 61,730 sqm will be utilize for office use. The remaining GFA of 15,432
sqm will be required for additional office use or other permitted uses, such as Food and
Beverage (F&B), retail uses, of such types and quantum. As for Plot A2 it is classified to
be used as an open space. Additional maximum authorized GFA of 100 sqm is allowed
for a F&B kiosk within the at-grade open space. Moreover, Plot A3 is a subterranean
walkway to the street of Kuala Lumpur, it will be a development of an underground
pedestrian walkway to connects to the street. Other than that, the development of the
Land Parcel is strictly required to follow as the Competent Authority under the Planning
Act may approve.
It is a mandatory for the development of the Land Parcel to incorporate energy-efficient,
water efficient and environmentally-friendly design technologies and practices in order
to achieve a Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark rating of Platinum,
as stated in Part V (Condition 5.4). The GBI non-residential rating tool evaluates the
sustainable aspects of buildings that are commercial, institutional and industrial in
nature. This includes factories, offices, hospitals, universities, colleges, hotels and
shopping complexes. Among the six criteria that constitutes the GBI rating, energy
efficiency and indoor environmental quality acquires the most points as these two items
have the greatest impact in the areas of energy use and well-being of the occupants
and users of the building.
In order to gain Green Building Index (GBI) of platinum, a total of above 86 points is
required. A break-down of GBI points allocation for non-residential will be shown as;
energy efficiency 35 points, indoor environmental quality 21 points, sustainable site
planning and management 16 points, material and resources 11 points, water efficiency
10 points and innovation points.

1.1 Benchmark Project
The benchmark landmark we have set for the project is SP Setia Berhad Corporate HQ.
S P Setia Corporate HQ located in located in the 240-acre Setia City commercial center
of Setia Alam in Shah Alam, Selangor. Setia Alam is approximately 5000-acres of new
city; SP Setia decided to build their headquarters at here. This developed the idea for a
very formal design approach to emphasize on the social commitment of SP Setia to
contribute in the national development of Malaysia through their edifice in this new city. It
consists of 11 floors, including rooftop and two basement level.
Figure 1.1: S P Setia Corporate HQ
It is the first privately owned office and the third building in Malaysia to be certified Green
Building Index (GBI) Platinum, as well as GreenRE Platinum. The reason building has
been designed as a green building during the conceptual phase is because Setia City
aims to create a benchmark for new urban development’s locally, regionally and globally,
and the developer’s corporate HQ stands at the pinnacle of this by ensuring that all
developments within the commercial center meet the minimum standards of sustainability.
Besides that, S P Setia Corporate HQ won The Edge Malaysia-PAM Green Excellence

3.0 Green Building Index (GBI)
3.1 Introduction
Green Building Index, also known as GBI, is serving as a rating system to certify
the green building constructed in Malaysia. It is an individual system developed by PAM
which aims to increase the demand of users for green buildings. What green building can
achieve is the reduce of environmental impact to the surrounding by increasing the
efficient usage of resource such as solar power, wind, water, material and etc.
3.2 Achieving Client’s Required Ranking
Client’s requirement for this project had been set to achieve the GBI Rating of
Platinum. In order to achieve this rank, a minimum of 86 points out of 100 points is needed
to reach. Considering this is the highest rank of GBI in Malaysia, many green design ideas
must be used to achieve this rank. Although the final result is awaiting the professional,
which is the Green Building Index Facilitator to assess, we had placed ourselves in a safe
position where we can score 92 points out of 100.
3.3 Assessment to GBI
Under GBI, it had divided the criteria of assessment into six main categories, which
each one separated into more detailed requirement. Points allocated for each criterion
will be differ, depending on the types of buildings. Those categories are listed as Energy
Efficiency (EE), Indoor Environment Quality (EQ), Sustainable Site Planning &
Management (SM), Materials & Resources (MR), Water Efficiency (WE) and Innovation
(IN).
NRNC, serving as the instrument to evaluate the commercial, institutional and
industrial buildings, which is involving offices, hospitals, universities, shopping complexes,
hotels and etc. When going through the process of evaluation, it will be emphasizing on
the Energy Efficiency and Indoor Environment Quality, as these two elements are playing
the most significant roles to bring efficient energy use and well-being of the users of the
building.
19. THE VOGUE SUITES
17
3.4 Energy Efficient (EE)
As mentioned above, there are six elements in assessing the GBI. First and
foremost, Energy Efficient (EE), which is one of the most important factors in a green
office building. EE aims to improve energy consumption through the optimization of
building orientation, minimizing building’s solar heat gain, harvesting of natural lighting,
use of renewable energy, allow proper testing, commissioning and regular maintenance.
Under this area, nine items are listed with different requirement. To reach Platinum, our
study had included several green ideas listed in the checklist such as providing auto-
sensor controlled lighting, motion sensors or equivalent. Installation of electrical sub-
metering and tenant sub-metering is also included to ensure the monitoring of energy
usage of every sections. Not only that, the related requirements, commissioning plan,
verification of the system performance and more specification will be carried out by
appointing an independent GBI recognized Commissioning Specialist. As this area is
important, we had put an objective to achieve the full score, which is 35 out of 35 from
this area.
3.5 Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ)
Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) is also playing an important role as it includes
verification of air quality, thermal comfort, lighting, visual and acoustic comfort in a
building. Those elements are essential for an office building because one individual will
be inside the building for at least 6 hours per day, with a dissatisfied indoor quality will
definitely bring discomfort to the occupants. To minimize the impact of poor air quality,
smoking will be prohibited in the building and exterior designated smoking areas will be
located at least 10m away from entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows. Device
to monitor carbon dioxide levels will be installed as well at all main return point on each
floor. Materials such as painting, coating, carpet and adhesive with contents of volatile
organic compounds (VOC) are restricted to low VOC materials. An Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Management Plan will be developed and implement for the pre-occupancy phase as well
as during-occupancy phase and post occupancy comfort survey will be carried out. It is
another essential area for office building as we plan to obtain 19 points out of 21.
20. THE VOGUE SUITES
18
3.6 Sustainable Site Planning & Management (SM)
In Sustainable Site Planning & Management (SM), it is closely related to selection
of the site, linkage with community services, open spaces and landscaping. It is aimed to
avoid and conserve environmentally sensitive areas by redeveloping existing sites and
brownfields. Implementation of construction management, transportation, storm water
management while reducing the strain on existing structure capacity. Constructing this
building on KL will be beneficial to green requirement as it fulfills the aspect of community
connectivity which have at least 10 Basic Services within 1km from the building. Some
management plans such as Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC) Plan is to be
carried out as well.
3.7 Materials & Resources (MR)
Materials & Resources (MR) promote the use of materials with environmental
friendly nature. This includes material with recycled content, materials that are extracted
and manufactured within the region. While not only care about the procurement of
materials, it also strives to implement waste management plan, facilitate the reduction of
waste during construction. This also involve the designation of areas and storages for
collecting non-hazardous materials for recycling.
3.8 Water Efficiency (WE)
To capture rainwater harvesting and recycling requirement, Water Efficiency (WE)
is introduced. It encourages in applying rainwater harvesting and recycling which can lead
to reduction in potable water consumption. To minimize the usage of potable water
consumption, design of specific system is greatly encouraged, and it is the best not to
use any potable water for landscape irrigation. To mitigate water consumption, a design
of systems such as linking of all water sub-meters to monitor areas with major water
usage is encouraged as well.
3.9 Innovation (IN)
Lastly, Innovation (IN) is introduced to promote innovative design and initiatives that aid
in achieving GBI. The design team will be given opportunity for their performance in
reaching the requirements through implementation of environmental design such as
heat pipe technology, low energy ventilation system, Central Pneumatic Waste
Collection System and etc.

4.0Conclusion
The Vogue Suite Corporate HQ is an office tower conceptualized based on a need
to contribute a better and more sustainable work environment for the TeamVogue. The
project is a mixed development comprising of office and retail outlets. The Corporate HQ
consists of 20 floors for office use; 2 floors for retail use and 2 floors for carpark at
basement. The features of the proposed site is mentioned where it is located at the Kuala
Lumpur’s city centre which is surrounded by KLCC and The Intermark Tower.
The benchmark of this project is SP Setia Bhd because this building is a successful
GBI building. Not to mention, it is privately owned office and the third building in Malaysia
to be certified Green Building Index (GBI) Platinum, as well as GreenRE Platinum.
Therefore, our building’s design concept is attained from the collective vision of SP Setia
Bhd.
Despite the primary aim of encouraging learning and growth for our employees, it
also represents sustainable and balanced working life for Team Vogue. The construction
of this corporate office has provided a golden opportunity for Team Vogue to learn and
gain experience in all aspects of green building, including construction management and
efficient use of energy. It hopes to create awareness among the team in reducing carbon
footprint. The team can reduce their carbon footprint by carpooling and green vehicles,
watch paper usage, keep recycling bins around, use landscaped pedestrian walkway,
adopting more plants in the office, using the stairs instead of lifts and etc.
Besides, green buildings attract sales and rental premiums which is one of the
market strategies. Green buildings have a relatively higher selling value and provide every
company with a better market image. In addition, in term of energy and water efficient,
green buildings also save businesses’ and consumers’ money during the lifetime of the
property.
In the nutshell, the HQ’s total estimated construction cost amount is
RM468,578,108.29.
