INTRODUCTION

The Green Building Index is an environmental rating system or buildings developed by PAM (Pertubuhan Arkitek

Malaysia / Malaysian Institute o Architects) and ACEM (the Association o Consulting Engineers Malaysia). The

Green Building Index is Malaysias rst comprehensive rating system or evaluating the environmental design and

perormance o Malaysian buildings based on the six (6) main criterias o Energy Eciency, Indoor Environment

Quality, Sustainable Site Planning & Management, Materials & Resources, Water Eciency, and Innovation.

The Green Building Index is undamentally derived rom existing rating tools, including the Singapore Green

Mark and the Australian Green Star system, but extensively modied or relevance to the Malaysian tropical

weather, environmental context, cultural and social needs.

This PAM/ACEM GBI initiative aims to assist the building industry in its march towards sustainable development.

The GBI environmental rating system is created to:

Df g budg by tabhg a aguag ad tadad aut;

Pt tgatd, wh-budg dg;

rg ad wad vta adhp;

Ta th but vt t du th vta pat dvpt; ad

eu w budg a vat th utu ad xtg budg a ubhd ppy

t a vat.

PAM/ACEM encourage all members o Project Teams, Building owners, Developers and other interested parties(including Contractors, Government and Design and Build Contractors) to use the Green Building Index to

validate environmental initiatives o the design phase o new non-residential construction or base non-residential

building reurbishment; or construction and procurement phase o non-residential buildings. Use o the Green

Building Index is encouraged on all such projects to assess and improve their environmental attributes.

Use o the Green Building Index (Non-Residential) tool without ormal certication by an independent accredited

GBI Certier does not entitle the user or any other party to promote the Green Building Index rating achieved.

No ee is payable to PAM/ACEM or such use, however ormal recognition o the Green Building Index rating -

and the right to promote same - requires undertaking the ormal certication process oered by PAM/ACEM.

Whilst GBI NRNC is a generic rating tool or Oce Buildings, GBI NRNC: DATA CENTRE is a bespoke rating tool

developed or Data Centres.

All Green Building Index rating tools are reviewed annually; please orward any eedback to [email protected]

wHo cAN USE THE GREEN BUILDING INDEX?

wHAT IS THE GREEN BUILDING INDEX (GBI)?

Complete the Building Input worksheet as the buildings type and location may aect the predicted rating.

Complete the remaining worksheets by reviewing each credit in each category and entering the number o

points you predict the building will achieve in the No. o Points Achieved column. Calculators are provided

or a number o the tools credits.

Enter any points that may be achieved but need to be conrmed in the Points to be Conrmed column.

Enter any comments required in the Comments column.

The predicted rating is shown in the Summary worksheet. More detail on point scores (both achieved and

A) cvat:On previously developed or graded site, restore or protect a minimum o 50% o the site area (excludingthe building ootprint) with native or adaptive vegetation. Native or adaptive plants are plants indigenousto a locality or cultivars o native plants that are adapted to the local climate and are not consideredinvasive species or noxious weeds. Applicable also to landscaping on rootops and roo gardens so longas the plants meet the denition o native or adaptive vegetation.OR

On greeneld sites, limit all site disturbance to within 12m beyond the building perimeter; 3m beyondsurace walkway, patio, surace parking and utilities less than 300 mm in diameter; 4.5m beyond primaryroadway curb and main utility branch trench; and 7.5m beyond constructed area with permeable surace(such as pervious paving area, storm water detention acility and playing eld) that require additionalstaging area in order to limit compaction in the constructed area.

B) op spa:Reduce by 25%, the development ootprint (dened as the total area o the building ootprint, hardscape,access road and parking) and/or provide vegetated open space within the project boundary to exceedthe local zonings open space requirement or the site. OR

For areas with no local zoning requirement (e.g., university campus, military bases), provide vegetated

open space adjacent to the building whose area is equal to that o the building ootprint. OR

Where a zoning ordinance exists, but there is no requirement or open space (zero), provide vegetatedopen space equal to 20% o the projects site area.
