TITLE
IMPLICATION

: ARCHIEVING GBI RATING CERTIFICATION COST

FOR HIGH RISE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS

OVERVIEW OF THE
ways to maximize

: In general for any development we are always looking for

the output of a building with a lower CAPEX and

focusing on lowering the

Life Cycle Cost of a building. Therefore in the year
2009, driven by the
environmental needs to make Malaysia's construction
industry more
sustainable in the future, the 17 Green Building Index
(GBI) was jointly
founded and developed by Pertubuhan Akitek
Malaysia (PAM) and the
Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia (ACEM).
"The Green

Building Index (GBI) is Malaysia's industry recognized

green rating tool for
buildings to promote sustainability in the built
environment and raise
awareness among Developer, Architects, Engineers,
Planners, Designers,
Contractors and the public about environmental issues
and our responsibility
to the future generations" (Green Building Index,
2011)
AIM
implication for high rise

: To study achieving GBI rating certification cost

residential projects

.
OBJECTIVE
building to achieve

: 1.To highlight elements and items incorporated into the

GBI rating
2.To identify the total cost implication for a

conventional rise high-rise

projects
3.To identify the percentage of the total cost
implication after achieving the
targeted GBI rating

PROBLEM STATEMENT : As a developing country, Malaysia realized that the

construction industry
plays an important role in its economic growth.
However, the industry is
not without 19 weaknesses. Challenges have been in
the areas of
productivity, quality, safety, technology and
unproductivity. The book
Malaysias Vision 2020 published in 1993 defined
national ambitions and

future opportunities for us. One of the basic visions

that emerged is for the
country to be ecologically sustainable. Most property
developers at this
infant stage of green buildings may lack cost
experience or comparative
costing knowledge on the cost implications for a
conventional building to
achieve certain certification level in the green
building index.
.

SCOPE OF WORK
items incorporated into

: This research focuses on highlighting elements and

the building to achieve GBI rating.

METHODOLOGY
and literature

: This study will carried out the data on initial discussion

review on cost implication for residential high rise

project. Questionare
will be prepared and interview will be conducted by
face to face.The
collection data will analyse by average index.
