2. A reflection :
picturing GREEN
Where are we now?
DRIVING GREEN: outside factors, inside factors
Our familiarity, readiness and reasons for
embracing GREEN
the PEOPLE, our TECHNOLOGY/RESOURCES, our
PROCESSES
Where are we heading?
Commitment to “triple bottom line” measurement
of success – assessing economic, environmental
and social performance

3. GOING ENVIRO AN OPTION?
the driving forces of environmental
stress:
I=PxAxT (Ehrlich & Holdens, 1971)
Total environmental resource use (leading to wasteful emissions) is
a multiplicative function of population, consumption
and technology.
I=impact , P=population, A= affluence, consumption/person
T= technology, average resource intensity of technology used per
unit of production
(Source: Vlek & Steg 2007)

5. what GREEN means to the
building industry?
Varying sentiments, optimism
protecting and preserving what remains of pristine
nature, often by careful urban and suburban
planning.
GBI!
Regulatory burden?
Opportunities… $$$$, investments, business,
research, training
the last person to leave the office turns off the lights
is an ongoing endeavor, not just a one-
shot measure
A PRACTICE, A LIFE STYLE

7. what makes a building green:
is there a definitive answer?
Meet a specific green building rating system requirement and
guidelines:
the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design (LEED) certification, Green Globes,
administered by the Green Building Initiative, and the Federal
Sustainable Buildings Principles.
Most systems rate by awarding points
These rating systems are usually flexible—they allow builders
flexibility to meet the green threshold by accumulating a minimum
number of points from any of the various categories.
achieving certification as a green building does not necessarily have
to involve energy-efficient design, construction, or operation.
Important that investors who intend to develop or purchase green
properties, understand the scoring and methodology underlying the
various rating systems.

8. GREEN = Energy Efficient?
GREEN STARTS WITH ENERGY
EFFICIENCY (Murray 2006 in BOMA Kingsley Quarterly, the
Green Issue 2006)
Why Green Starts with Energy Efficiency (Leslie Cook 2008)
• Organizations that are leaders in energy efficiency use 40 percent less energy than
competitors
• Energy efficient buildings emit 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
• Energy efficiency provides financial returns that can support future “green”
investments
“Green” does not necessarily mean energy efficient!
ENERGY OPTIMIZATION as an important
step towards GREENER BUILDINGS
How to reduce energy consumption, by how
much, by when?

14. GBI criteria
The Green Building Index (GBI) rating system
assesses the impact of a new building on its
environment based on a set of criteria.
There are 6 assessment criteria:
• Energy Efficiency
• Indoor Environmental Quality
• Sustainable Site Planning and Management
• Materials and Resources
• Water Efficiency
• Innovation
GBI certification scale
GBI Try Again Certified Silver Gold Platinum
Score 0 to 49 50 to 65 66 to 75 76 to 85 86 to 100

15. For linked houses,
apartments,
condominiums,
townhouses, semi-
GBI Residential detached and bungalows.
Emphasis on sustainable
site planning &
management, followed by
energy efficiency, so as to
encourage developers and
home owners to consider
the environmental quality
of homes and their
inhabitants through better
site selection, provisions
of public transport access,
increased community
services and connectivity,
as well as improved
infrastructure.

EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS
Simple measures
________________________________________________Energy Management Awareness for Facility Managers| UiTM, Shah Alam| AP Ar Dr Norhati Ibrahim

24. simple practices
Know where energy is being consumed.
identify low- and no-cost green practices that have short payback periods, yet have a
significant impact on the value of the building.
pay close attention to past and future energy use, especially since utilities typically comprise
the largest share of operating expenses and therefore have direct bearing on the value of the
building.
Submetering provides a first step toward paying attention to over-standard energy usage.
This is particularly important for specialized tenants like first floor retail, data centers and
call centers – those areas whose operations extend beyond specified building operating
hours, and whose leases require them to pay their pro rata share of those additional utility
costs. To track all this information, property managers use data loggers, sub-meters and
monthly utility analysis tracking sheets. This, along with annual energy audits, ensures that
they’re staying focused on energy and meeting their goals.
uses plug load controls. These devices automatically turn off things like task lighting, printers
and radios when workstations are unoccupied. Motion sensors that turn off lights in
unoccupied areas also help to eliminate the waste of energy being used when no work is
being done.
Other less obvious practices can also have a significant effect on lowering energy usage. As
an example, Fischer points to policy changes in janitorial service. At many properties, block
cleaning has become a de facto green practice, saving energy by having teams clean
sections of the building, rather than every individual floor all at once. The firm is also
experimenting with day cleaning, moving custodial work to standard operating times of the
building rather than at night, which allows electrical use – particularly lighting and air
conditioning – to be sharply curtailed in the evening hours.

25. Lighting energy conservation
What measure/s to adopt?
SYSTEM SOLUTION: Lighting retrofit means:
photo sensors;
more light switches;
occupancy sensors
BEHAVIOUR CHANGE:
campaign to achieve deeper savings through
engagement of employees
use Energy Information System (EIS) to
provide immediate feedback

29. GREEN drivers
FROM THE GROUND UP
(Lorie Damon, BOMA International 2006)
“Throughout the industry, property managers – not
asset and portfolio managers or investors –most
often drive the implementation of green
initiatives. Individual managers, working in
tandem with people like building engineers
and local contractors, are best positioned to
understand which initiatives will work at an
individual asset. Moreover, they are discovering
that a large investment of capital is often not a
requirement to make a building more
environmentally friendly”.

31. Energy Strategy and Management
in Companies
5 robust steps (Energy Star, 2011)
Master the fundamentals of energy efficiency.
Build an energy efficiency culture through executive leadership:appointing an empowered corporate energy director and team, set
aggressive goals, measure and track energy performance for all operations, and establish accountability and review and
recognition systems across the business.
Take both a longer and a broader view of
investments and strategic decisions about energy.
Make major company strategic decisions (e.g., acquisitions, technology choices, and facility location) with energy cost, use, and
supply in mind. Balance more assured returns of energy project investments against lower initial returns across a longer time
horizon. See the entire Energy Value Chain, including upstream inputs from suppliers (into internal operations) and downstream
outputs to customers (from internal operations).
Search out business transformation opportunities in
the way the company manages, procures, and uses
energy.
Frame energy as a lever for positive growth and change within the business, not simply a cost. Make the most of the strategic
value of energy by thinking in terms of “Embedded Energy” and “Energy Productivity.” Be innovative and aggressive in pursuing
and publicizing new product and service offerings based on new energy technologies and supplies.
Prepare contingent strategies for emergent future
scenarios.
Rehearse specific aspects of the future, including substantial and sustained swings in energy price and supply, severe weather
events, and penalties or incentives around energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Actively manage exposure to risks, and
ready plans to take full advantage of what the future brings. Monitor for signs of which “road ahead” is emerging.
Take personal action.
Corporate leaders can take a number of “to-do” actions today for tomorrow. All can be taken individually, in companies, on
corporate boards, and across industries.
