HOW TO GREEN YOUR FACTORY?

1. How to green your new or existing factory?

2. GBI compliance – how hard (or easy) is it?

3. The benefits of going green – tax incentives

Intro

• The world’s first green building assessment tool

appeared in 1990.

• It endured a low profile for almost a decade until

a second rating tool came into being.

• At the dawn of the new millennium, the impact of

climate change finally hit home and from thereon

everyone began to jump onto the green wagon.

• This was quickly followed by the birth of the

World Green Building Council which now

comprises 80 member countries including

Malaysia.

• It is interesting to note that the initial 31

countries that adopted green buildings boast a

total of 46 green building rating tools.

• Why is there such a variety of green building

assessment schemes?

• Why can’t there be a single assessment scheme

for uniform benchmarking throughout the world?

• After all we have only one earth to sustain.

• This presentation will enlighten the audience on

this green built environment journey and what

the future beholds.

• The quest will begin at global level descending

onto our local arena.

EMERGING MEMBER OF WGBC

The World GBC is an international non profit coalition

that represents the global building industry to drive

market based transformation towards a sustainable built

environment.

It encourages individual countries to form their own

Green Building Councils (GBC) around the world, and

recognizes only one GBC from each country.

WHY THE NEED TO GREEN FACTORIES?

Factories consume over 40% of the final energy use in

Malaysia

Factories consumes almost 50% of electricity production

which is equal to the combined consumption of commercial

and domestic sectors

HOW TO GREEN YOUR NEW & EXISTING FACTORY?

NEW FACTORY:

The INC rating tool adopts the established 6 GBI criteria with

emphasis placed on Energy Efficiency and Indoor

Environmental Quality as these have the greatest impact on

energy use and well-being of occupants and workers of your

factory

On-site energy capture and improvement in process energy use

are given prominence with provision of break out space to

reduce workers’ fatigue and cargo transportation proximity to

reduce pollution impacts being some of the bespoke needs

The tool evaluates limited credits using prescriptive approach

and other credits on performance based approach

HOW TO GREEN YOUR NEW & EXISTING FACTORY?

EXISTING FACTORY:

Existing factories constitute more than 90% of the factory stock

The IEB rating tool evaluates the sustainable aspects of existing

factory building including their processes

Additional credits are given to encourage higher Energy

Efficiency which is known to be still lacking priority, courtesy

of subsidised energy tariff

The prominence and importance of IEQ is maintained to ensure

the well-being and productivity of the occupants and workers

Credit points are also increased for Water Efficiency and

Innovation to encourage such improvements and modifications

Facility Management is introduced for good sustainable

management practices in the use of chemicals, pesticides and

procurement policy

Green Building Index Compliance – How hard, or easy, is it?

A green building optimises energy efficiency, uses less water,

generates less waste, conserves natural resources and provides

healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional

building.

The Green Building Index (GBI) certification process calls for

dedication and coordination by project team members that

believe in the benefit of going green.

This session provides insider account and tips on how to

successfully attain the GBI accolade.

• What is a Green Building?

• Why Green Buildings?

• What is the Green Building Index Rating tool?

• Why adopt GBI as the Rating tool?

• Understanding the Certification Process for GBI

• The GBI IEB (Existing Factory) rating tool as an

example

• Is it hard to achieve GBI certification?

GBI CERTIFICATION PROCESS ETC.

BENEFITS OF GOING GREEN – TAX

INCENTIVES

Owners of buildings awarded the Green Building Index (GBI)

certificate be given tax exemption equivalent to 100% of the

additional capital expenditure incurred to obtain the GBI

certificate which can be set-off against 100% of the statutory

income for each year of assessment. The incentive is

applicable for new buildings and upgrading of existing

buildings. The incentive is given only for the first GBI

certificate issued in respect of the building.
