The built environment of more ancient times is reminiscent of being attuned with the environment.
1) The construction of the house using local materials is in tune with the economic and socialcultural norms of the time.
2) The space usage compartmentation not only serves functional needs, but also traditional
cultural-social needs.
3) The timber frames and attap roof present low thermal mass (i.e. do not absorb heat in the
midday sun) and present low U-values (thermal conductivity value) thus maintaining a cool
interior all day and night long.
4) The raised flooring and distinctive roof shape maximizes cross-ventilation. At the same time,
the space under the floor acts functionally as storage space whilst the distinctive roof shape
provides a distinctive cultural signature.
Thus the traditional house represents a built-environment attuned with its surrounding
economically, culturally and ecologically.

LEED NEIGHBOUHOOD
LEEDS Neighbourhood currently accepts pilot project

for certification.
Principal aim is to improve land-use patterns,
neighbourhood design and technology.

No minimum or maximum project size defined and no
strict definition for what comprise a neighbourhood.

The only requirement is projects must be able to meet
all prerequisites and anticipate the minimum number
of credits achievable.
hplooi@unifi.my
3 November 2011
LEED Neighbourhood do not define acceptable projects for certification, however compliance to
basic pre-requisites defined in the tool will define eligibility.

LEED-Neighbourhood criteria and weightages assigned for assessment are listed above and are
appropriate for the North American socio-economical-ecological context. It should be noted that
LEED places comparatively low weightage on transport at 14% for Transportation and
Connectivity & Bicycle Networks, whilst BREEAM in comparison weights Transport at a hefty 21%.
LEED category of Place Shaping is distributed amongst the 2 categories of Diversity and
Neighbourhood which combine to return a hefty score of 31% against BREEAM 21% for place
shaping. This perhaps illustrate the importance accorded by the North Americans to liveable space
and sustainable space planning concepts which are essential elements of New Urbanism.

The stages of registration and certification under the GBI scheme are shown above. The GBIT
assessment has an additional stage where Township at planning stage can be certified. Certification
at planning is important as many of the physical infrastructure of a green township (e.g. pedestrian/
cycling networks, diversity, CPTED, green transport network etc) can only be fixed at planning stage.
Implementing such measures AFTER planning will be more difficult and may incur additional cost.

Energy and climate criteria constitute 20% of the total assessment. However other criteria such as
TRC (transportation and Connectivity) and BDR (Building & Resources) particularly BDR8 (green
building) also has strong relation to energy and carbon footprint of a community.
Specialist on energy and water (especially community-based energy/water plants) will be the key
consultants under CEW.

Key consultant for these criteria is the ecologist. In this case, the role of the ecologist (or DOE
consultants) goes beyond just an EIA report. A bio-diversity report is a key requirement of these
criteria. Other specialist consultant is the civil engineer and the infrastructure engineer.

The architect and planner are key consultants in these criteria. Many of the criteria are also crossreferenced to other criteria especially Transportation and Connectivity (TRC). The last two criteria
require active participation of the resident (CPD10) and the local authority (CPD11).

The transport engineer is a key consultant advising on these criteria. It should be noted that
transportation specialist need to look at Green Transport masterplan which goes beyond the
traditional traffic-impact masterplan. In a Green Transport masterplan mitigation for decreasing
carbon emission from public transportation is achieved by decreasing private car-trips production.

GREEN TOWNSHIP BRINGS BACK
LIFE INTO
URBAN CENTRES
In previous centuries when the

scale of development is tied to
human transport (horse carriage
and walking), cities were designed
to be lived in.
However with cheap transport the
middle class fled to surburbia,
The separation of city and suburbia
is a major generator of traffic.
Surburbia without a city center do
not have a cultural base.

CPD 3 (Public Amenities) and TRA1 (Green Transport Masterplan) define location of public amenities
by the 500m rule. These initiatives have some influence from concepts of New Urbanism. The
concept of core neighbourhood amenities within a cluster of community (20 40 acres) also helps
to define a social-landscape for a community by defining a physical neighbourhood centre.

The above illustrates a neighbourhood with diversity (CPD8 and CPD9) and core amenities (CPD3
and TRA1) built-in comparison to a conventional housing development in Malaysia with acres of
identical units across the landscape. In the conventional housing estate, the resident will have to
drive out to meet their social, work and shopping needs. Under the GBIT planning requirement these
need to drive out may be lessen (thereby reducing carbon emission impact). Diversity also
contributes to vibrancy in a community thereby enhancing liveability.

The pie chart shows energy balance for Malaysia for three years. It illustrates the idea that
transportation constitute up to 40% of total energy use in the national energy balance. Discounting
transportation due to industry and commerce, it can be estimated (ball-park) that energy use (and
therefore carbon emission) accruing in a community will be in the region of 20% to 40% of total
carbon emission.

Green Transport Masterplan;

Instead of just traffic impact in terms of generators
and traffic dispersal, traffic studies requires:
1. Reduce Travel by Car
2. Increase utilisation of public transport
3. Availability and Frequency of Public Transport
4. Accessibility and linkages to outside centres
5. Integration of the 4 networks.
hplooi@unifi.my
3 November 2011
TRA-1 (Green Transport Masterplan) which is within the domain of the traffic consultant requires a
change in mind-set. The green transport masterplan goes beyond the traditional traffic impact
masterplan which only focuses on traffic dispersal due to traffic-generators and traffic-attractors.
To reduce intra community car use, the placement of amenities together with other criteria such as
pedestrian/cycling networks, public transport linkages and facilities etc will be part of the Green
Transport Masterplan. To reduce external linkage, the provision or placement of public
transportation hubs will mitigating factors for reduction of private car-trips generation and
attraction. Carbon emission reduction due to measures adopted will be used in calculating
community footprint.

Whilst community participation can be mitigated by developers (under CPD10 by engaging

properties buyers and residents); it is expected that CPD11 MAY not be totally within the control of
private developers. Therefore CPD11 (which award 4 points; or 4% to the total assessment), will
depend on the availability of sustainability programmes maintained by the local authority. It is
expected that, in time to come, rating can be assign independently to local authorities based on the
availability of programmes. Such rating of local authorities will assist developers in identifying local
authorities who are positive in contributing to achieving GBIT certification.

Incentivizing Green Buildings
Non-Mandatory / Incentive Models

1.
Reduction in assessment rates or planning fees for achieving

GBI Gold & above (Penang)
2.
Allow slightly higher density than zoned.
3.
Reduction in planning requirements e.g. smaller water tank,
reduction in parking space etc.

4.
Making greenbuilding mandatory for development in Central

Business District or high cost district (start with GBI Certified).
hplooi@unifi.my
3 November 2011
Whilst GBI DO NOT, currently, recommend that GBI certification for buildings be made mandatory,
implementation at local authorities level can operationalised by incentivizing GBI certification achievement.
Some measures are listed above. Any mandatory measures adopted should not set arbitrary high standard e.g.
GBI Gold or Platinum, but rather to start with GBI Certification to allow market stakeholders to gradually accept
mandatory requirements.
Common detractors cite the following which can be rebutted as follows:
1. GBI Certification is difficult to achieve
FALSE. Currently more than 190 projects (up to September 2011) are registered for certification.
Achieving certification is not difficult and merely requires the developer, contractors and consultants to
practice good design, construction and development measures, all well within the means and expertise of
a reasonably competent construction professionals.
2. GBI Certification is expensive and additional cost of construction will be passed over to the public
consumer.
FALSE. This issue of Cost differential has relation to base cost of comparison to be meaningful. As GBI
Certification promotes good practice as a starting point for achieving GBI Certification, low construction
and design standard, as base comparison, will attract a cost differential for achieving Certified Level (or
Entry-Level). However a more pertinent issue should be that paying market rate for non acceptable
design and construction standard, is a more serious issue which falls below the radar of most property
buyers. Current statistics cite ZERO additional cost for achieving GBI Certified level amongst reputable
developers in the Klang Valley. A case study of a government building in Putrajaya cites 8% additional
costs for achieving the highest rating of GBI Platinum.
However the economic benefits of lower operational energy bill (up to 25% for Certified to as much as
60% reduction for Gold and Platinum) may actually contribute to savings based on long term
assessment.
