Sustainable Building

1. PAPER REVIEW ON:
“Challenges and way forward
towards best practices of energy
efficient building in Malaysia”
Presented by: Bibek K.C.
Roll no: Ms EEB 007

2. Introduction
• Construction is one of the fundamental
processes of industrialization which is very
improtant in terms of development of the
city, a country and its economy.
• Thus is a main leading cause of
environmental pollution and results to
climate changes.
• In this study its helping us to understand
how can we maintain industrialization and
also reduce green house emission.

3. BACKGROUND OF THE
PAPER
• Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures
and weather patterns.
• Climate change is impacting human lives and health in a
variety of ways.
– It threatens the essential ingredients of good health – clean air,
safe drinking water, nutritious food supply and safe shelter
• Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to
cause approximately 250 000 additional deaths per year
from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhoea and heat stress
alone.

4. BACKGROUND OF THE PAPER
 Betterment in energy efficiency and
minimization of energy are most appropriate
methods for long term economic growth as
well as securing environment.
Major issue for climate change is human
activity including rapid urbanization.
The fast growing cities and developing
world with industrialization has made us
aware of constructing low-carbon cities.
 This study helps to fill gap between energy-
efficient management strategies and industrial
function and practice in Malaysia.

5. Objective of the study
This study aims to fill the
gap by investigating
industry behaviours and
practices and
recommending holistic
energy-efficient
management strategies
in construction site in
Malaysia.

6. WHAT IS DONE IN THE
RESEARCH?
• Industrial practices do affects energy
efficiency of the buildings but the solid
implementation on the demand to
minimize the energy consumption on the
industrial buildings is not done widely.
• Therefore, this study shows the industrial
growth and practices of those industrial
buildings with concerned value of energy
efficiency strategies in Malaysia.

7. WHAT IS DONE IN THE
RESEARCH?
• While comparing with other major polluting
industries the construction and building
sector has tremendous potential for
lowering Green house gases (GHG)
emissions by:
– Direct actions in building including fuel
switching,
– Energy efficiency
– Adverse use of renewable energy

8. HOW IS IT DONE?
• The study used an explanatory sequential
mixed approach comprising:
– 4 case studies of conventional buildings,
– 72 building stakeholders survey information
and
– 7 experts who were interviewed to enable
triangulation of information.

9. WHAT IS THE
FINDING?

10. Main Findings
• According to researcher, it revealed that current
energy management strategies are based on low-
hanging fruit measures.
• The results also suggest that financial, managerial,
and knowledge limitations are the primary
constraints to effectual energy-saving methods.
• The result demonstrates three-tier intervention
strategies in education, policy, and technology
towards accelerating industry transition in achieving
best practices in energy-efficient buildings.

11. Main Findings
• The outcomes of this study shows the relevant
barriers to energy-efficient execution and
designing effective efforts to encourage
conventional building.

12. Main Findings
• The study offers findings by delivering
greater practical perspectives on the
extent of industry practices and
behaviours regarding energy-efficient
building implementation.
–Also emphasis on energy management
approaches for benchmarks in energy-
efficient buildings in Malaysia.
