GREEN RESOURCES


Energy Efficiency

For this criteria, the focus is on the energy consumption of an air-conditioning system. Generally, an air conditioning system contributes to high usage of electricity in a building.
​

This can be seen in either commercial or residential buildings. For a commercial building with an air-conditioning system that consists of chillers, pumps, cooling towers and air distribution systems, improvements are needed to increase the efficiency of the overall system. This can be done by fully utilizing the system through the optimization of the equipment’s usage via proper installation of equipment of higher efficiency. For a residential building, choosing the correct air conditioners that comply with the Energy Commission of Malaysia or Singapore Energy Labelling Scheme is recommended. An energy efficient air-conditioning system will effectively save a lot of cost in the long run while not compromising the main objective of providing better indoor comfort for the residents in the building. 

Overall Thermal Transfer Value

The building passive design greatly affects the OTTV value, as do the glass specification of the glazing. The two important specifications we look for in glass is the Shading Coefficient (SC) and U-value of the glass. By manipulating these values, we are able to improve the OTTV of the building. 

Efficient Air-Conditioning System 

Air conditioning system contributes to approximately 30-40% of the total building energy usage. By implementing the use of energy efficient AC systems, there is a huge potential for savings.

Lighting Efficient Fitting

The trend of energy efficient lighting has been catching on rapidly. T8 florescent light bulbs are barely used and has been replaced with T5 florescent light bulbs, a much more energy efficient option. The best choice however is the LED light fittings which is the most efficient light fitting currently in the market.

Energy Efficient Features & Renewable Energy 

There are plenty of related energy efficient features which can be implemented in a building's design. A major one is renewable energy. Malaysia being where its located is lucky as solar energy is a viable option for those who choose it. However solar panels are costly, which makes it rarely implemented.
