Using:

• Buildings represent the biggest opportunities for carbon reduction in mitigating climate change, as they are responsible for about 80-90% of the carbon emissions during their operations.
• A lot of initiatives on sustainable energy low carbon building has been done but absent the way to access the achievement.
• The assessment program will become platform to appreciate the sustainable energy low carbon building initiatives, using UNEP-SBCI Common Carbon Metric / CIDB’s CIS20-GreenPASS.

Objective:

• To support the low carbon cities development.
• To provide national consistency and a common language around the definition of low carbon building.
• To provide systematic assessment to encourage energy efficiency in building implementation.
• To provide platform for carbon reduction in building sector to support government target to reduce 40-45% CO2 intensity in 2030.
• As platform for building owners to declare the performance of the buildings.
• To support government initiatives (RMK-11, LCCF, NEEAP, Energy Audit Program).
• To provide a basis for ongoing assessment and evaluation of low carbon building.
• As alternative platform towards achieving Green Building Certification (MyCREST, GBI, etc.)
• To facilitate local authorities to develop Common Carbon Metric for various building typologies.

Carbon Reduction in Existing Building:

Methodology:

• Construction Industry Standard 2012, CIS 20:2012 – (GreenPASS)
• MS1525 : Code of Practice use of EE & RE for Non-residential building
• Common Carbon Metric by UNEP-SBCI

Target:

• Any building owner
• Developers
• Local Authorities
• Private & Government
• Any EE Building project (new/retrofit building)
