TOPIC 6: GREEN TECHNOLOGY Lecturer name: Zarina Syuhaida binti Shaarani LESSON LEARNING OUTCOMES: 6.1 Know Green Technology in 6.2 Understand the use of environmental-friendly materials and construction. sustainable construction methods. • 6.1.1 Define Green Technology and green • 6.2.1 Explain the concept of reuse, recycle, building in construction reduce and recovery. • 6.1.2 List characteristic of green building • 6.2.2 Identify green building materials • 6.1.3 State the criteria of green building from local sources.
• 6.1.4 Describe the importance of green
building in construction 6.3 Apply green building practices in construction management. • 6.3.1 Relate the concept of sustainable development integral to green building . Definition: Green Building in construction. • The Green Building is one which use less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resource, generate less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants as compared to a conventional building.
Definition: Green Technology.
• The term "technology" refers to the application of knowledge for practical purposes. • The field of "green technology" encompasses a continuously evolving group of methods and materials, from techniques for generating energy to non-toxic cleaning products. • The present expectation is that this field will bring innovation and changes in daily life of similar magnitude to the "information technology" explosion over the last two decades. In these early stages, it is impossible to predict what "green technology" may eventually encompass. Green Building in construction. • A Green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use: • energy, • water, and • materials
• While reducing building impact on
human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal.
• Green Buildings should be designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its surroundings. • In Malaysia, GBI (Green Building Index) Organization take place in controlling GBI requirement. Green Building in construction. Malaysia has developed its very own green building rating tools, which are: 1. Green Building Index (GBI) (2009), 2. GREEN PASS (Green Performance Assessment System)(2012), 3. PH JKR (Skim Penilaian Penarafan Hijau JKR) (2012), and 4. GreenRE (Green Real Estate) (2013) Green Building Index (GBI). • In August 2008, PAM Council endorsed and approved the formation of the new Sustainability Committee who was tasked primarily to develop and set-up the Green Building Index and the accompanying Panel for certification and accreditation of Green-rated buildings. • In addition, Greenbuilding index Sdn Bhd was incorporated in February 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAM and the Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia (ACEM), to administrate GBI accreditation and training of GBI Facilitators and Certifiers.
• GBI accreditation for buildings is separated into three tiers.
• The highest level : GBI Accreditation Panel, the independent regulatory body for GBI accreditation. • At the intermediate level : GBI Certifiers, consisting of experienced professionals that conduct the assessment and accreditation of project submissions. • On the front-end level : GBI Facilitators, professionals who together with clients and design team to enhance their projects to meet or exceed GBI rating system requirements.

(Based on GBI Rating) Criteria of Green Building. (GBI Rating) Importance of Green Building in construction. • Waste is minimized at every stage during the construction and operation of the building, resulting in low costs. • Green buildings are designed to save energy and resources, recycle materials and minimise the emission of toxic substances throughout its life cycle. • Green buildings harmonise with the local climate, traditions, culture and the surrounding environment. • Green buildings are able to sustain and improve the quality of human life whilst maintaining the capacity of the ecosystem at local and global levels. • Green buildings make efficient use of resources, have significant operational savings and increases workplace productivity. • Building green sends the right message about a company or organisation – that it is well run, responsible, and committed to the future. Sustainable Construction Methods: 4R’s Concept.
REDUCE
REUSE
RECYCLE
RECOVERY Sustainable Construction Methods: 4R’s Concept. • Reduce: • Prevent waste in the first place; • by eliminating waste at source through better planning and design. • It makes possible to minimize the goods or materials that we use and thus ensures less waste.
• Reuse : • Increase creativity on site. • Reuse materials waste whenever possible; • This is both cost-effective and reduces waste to landfill. • Avoiding the use of disposable goods (only used once) and this can extend the use of goods before they actually become waste. Sustainable Construction Methods: 4R’s Concept. • Recycle: • Secondary material use. Not all goods can be recycled but a practice has been started all over the world. • Down-cycle if it cannot be reused. • Ensure a good separation of waste into “one-material fractions” that can be more easily recycled. • Enable segregation of at least 6 fractions: Wood, Concrete, Gypsum / Plasterboard, Metal, Plastic - soft and hard, Paper/Cardboard. • When discarded materials are recycled, these provide industry with an alternative source of raw materials. • This results in less demand for virgin materials whose extraction, transport and processing are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. • Recycling, thus, reduces emissions in virtually all extractive industries. Recycling of paper and wood products has a notable double impact. Not only does it reduce the demand for virgin wood fibre- it reduces deforestation. It also preserves forests' ability to continue to act as carbon sinks (removing carbon from the atmosphere). • Recycling also reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
• Recovery : Energy Recovery can be an alternative, if recycling is not available.
Environmental Friendly Materials. • Encourage recycling and the adoption of building designs, construction practices and materials that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. • Use of Sustainable and Recycled Materials. • Use of Green Concrete with approved industrial by product such as: • Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS), • silica fume, • fly ash.
• to replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).
• The requirements to use Green Concrete: • Concrete Usage Index (CUI) • Encourage designs with efficient use of concrete for building components. Example Environmental Friendly Materials.
