MGBC PRESIDENT’S REPORT

MGBC President’s ReportSession 2014 - 2015

Dear Members and friends of MGBC,

A year ago when I was elected as President, I made a monumental promise in my inaugural speech – which the current board’s first priority is to attain the ‘Established’ membership status from World Green Building Council (WGBC) for MGBC. This has been a long standing issue as we rose up from a ‘Prospective’ membership status of a GBC to the ‘Emerging’ membership status in the very early days of formation of MGBC in 2010 but has since not risen to the ‘Established’ membership status.

This is of utmost importance as only ‘Established’ members can have a seat on the World Green Building Council Board and recently at the regional level the Asia Pacific Network (APN) is also talking about forming a regional council only consisting of ‘Established’ members. Therefore, the issue of Established Membership is a long standing issue which has become a more serious subject for MGBC, in fact as mentioned above it has become one of the core driving emphasis of my presidential term.

Hence, I am both proud and relieved to announce that we had just recently been accorded the ‘Established’ status by WGBC. Thank you for the hard work that the Board Members, special representative as well MGBC Secretariat whom have contributed in order to achieve this goal. Indeed this is a milestone for MGBC as we finally join the ranks of other established GBCs such as Japan, US, UK, Australia etc. Truly it is a time to be proud to be a Malaysian and a member of MGBC.

On the home front our other activities seem to grow from strength to strength. This term we have seen our annual academia and industry meeting grow into a full fledge symposium in the form of the 2015 Malaysia University-Industry Green Building Collaboration Symposium. Our training and education efforts in both educating all levels of the public and producing GBI facilitators are on a constant rise with numerous events, forums, seminars, workshop and such being conducted. This of course goes hand-in-hand with other efforts that stretches across the Board in breath of industry as well as the corridors of government.

Peering forward to the future, I have a clear image of MGBC’s destiny. I have a dream that one day Malaysia Green Building Confederation shall sit on the World Green Building Council Board and lead it. A dream where all the green communities of the world will look upon Malaysia Green Building Confederation with great admiration and adoration. A dream where, as a nation, the citizens of the world will look up at Malaysia and find an exemplary leader in sustainability and environmentalism.

Sincerely,

AR SARly ADRE SARkuMPresident 2014-2015

Topics covered in the presentations were related to the following sub-themes:

• Sub-theme A – Buildings’ Interaction with Occupants• Sub-theme B – Water Efficiency• Sub-theme C – Materials, Waste & Local Environment• Sub-theme D – Delivery Process & Performance Evaluation• Sub-theme E – Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy

A total of 81 participants attended the event, half of which were practitioners while another half were academicians and researchers. At the end of the symposium, 27 participated in the Business Matching Session to discuss and identify future needed research in relation to the abovementioned sub-themes and also to match interested parties for future collaboration.

The research proposals presented and discussed at this symposium is being compiled in a form of a report to be brought forward for further attention and actions. Indeed, requisite multidisciplinary collaboration for green building begins with communicating shared research priorities to a broad audience. Hence, it is hoped that this report will evolve as a result of the dialogue it facilitates, and catalyse subsequent leaps toward a sustainable built environment.

PARTNERshiP wiTh GLOBAL GREEN TAG FOR GLOBAL GREEN TAG (GGT) LiFE CYCLE AssEssMENT (LCA) RATiNG FOR BUiLdiNG MATERiALs

MGBC is now exploring the potential to form a partnership with Global Green Tag International to implement Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Rating scheme for local building materials.

The intent of this partnership is to develop capacity and capability within MGBC, with the potential for a viable business to enable building materials and products to be LCA certified. This is a continuance of the gradual and incremental stringency in vetting the materials and products declared in our GreenPagesMalaysia (GPM) by way of Product Data Sheets (PDS). A brainstorm meeting between MGBC, Global Green Tag representatives was held on 28th and 29th October 2014.

A survey on LCA Label has been conducted with all MGBC Members and Existing GPM clients on 13th November 2014. Total of 25 have responded to the survey.

Mr. Bikash Kumar Sinha will develop the business plan of the partnership programme.
