  1. INTERNATIONAL SKILLS CONFERENCE 2012TRANSFORMING SKILLS TRAINING TOWARDS A HIGH INCOME ECONOMY CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD MALAYSIA DO ACTUAL TECHNICAL SKILLS CHANGE WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY FROM TRADITIONAL TO GREEN?

  2. AGENDA • Why the move to GREEN • Technology needs to go GREEN • New skill to support the Technology and GREEN TECHNOLOGY & SKILLS

  3. WHY GREEN?

  4. United Nations Brundtland Commission Defining Sustainability Brundtland Report (1987) Sustainable Development is when development achieve the demands of the present needs without compromising the demands of future generation. ‘Sustainability can be represented as follows: ‘Sustainability’ bounded within 3 limits ‘Sustainability’ the confluence of ”3-pillars”

  5. Defining Sustainability

  6. EFFECT ON GLOBAL TEMPERATURE RISE +1o C - Arctic is melting +2o C - Coral Reefs dying +3o C - Amazon rainforest drying out +4o C - Many coastal cities could be flooded +5o C - Increase in climate refugees +6o C - Global Wipe Out

  7. Sustainability Indicators 2 earths by 2040 Bring it back to 1 earth 1.3 earth now Y axis – number of planet earth (http://www.footprintnetwork.org) Ecological Footprint measures the acreage of productive land required to sustain the demands of consumption and waste generation

  8. SOME FACTS Year 2011, 9th warmest since 1880 9 of the 10th warmest years have occurred since 2000 30% increase in global energy usage by 2025 More than 50% of global oil resources already exploited Increasing no. of floods and cyclones

  9. IS MALAYSIA GREEN?

  10. What are the LOCAL issues for Malaysia? • HYPER URBANIZATION - Urban Populationexpected to grow by between 40% to 50% by 2030 from 70% to 80% of Total Population. The way we plan our Cities will be a Key component of a sustainable future • Malaysia will become a Net Importer of Energy by 2015.How we design our buildings will reflect how much energy they require to run. • Malaysia has the HIGHEST per capita Energy Consumptionamong ASEAN countries

  11. Sustainability Indicators Malaysia Malaysia has the 2nd highest carbon emission per person (after Singapore) in ASEAN.

  12. Sustainability Indicators Malaysia Malaysia carbon footprint has been on an upward trend since the last decade.

  13. MALAYSIAN BUILDINGS Average BEI of office buildings in Malaysia is 250 Only a handful of buildings has BEI ≤ 150 The benchmark buildings to-date are: Securities Commission HQ (1999), BEI < 120 LEO building (2004), BEI = 100 PTM’s ZEO buildings (2007), BEI = 40 (0) Energy Commission HQ, BEI < 65

  14. Policies on Sustainability Conference on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP15) Copenhagen December 2009 Prime Minister of Malaysia on December 2009 at CoP15, announced Malaysia’s Commitment to reduced ‘Carbon-Intensity’ by 40% from base-line year 2005.

  15. THE IMPACT OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Buildings are responsible for 40% of world’s global greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings use 12% of the world’s water. Buildings are responsible for 40% of solid waste generation globally. Air quality in buildings typically contains up to 5 x more pollutants than outdoor air. Building utilize 1/3 of the world’s resources.

  16. So..... GO GREEN… …and together we SAVE the

  17. WHERE DOES THE CARBON COME FROM?

  18. LIFE CYCLE BUILDING ENERGY • Embodied energy (8-10%) – energy required to manufacture & supply to the point of use, a product, material or service. • Operational energy (82-86%) – energy required to run a building, i.e. cooling, hot water, lighting, pumps and fans all other appliances. • Deconstruction (6-8%) – selective dismantlement of building components, specifically for re-use, recycling, and waste management.

  19. Carbon emission in a life cycle of a building Pre - Design Normally addressed by most Green Building Tools[Embodied CO2 footprint] Decline, Demolition / regeneration Design & Development Building Lifecycle Use, Management & Maintenance[Higher Operational CO2 footprint] Sumber: Laporan Penanda Aras Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Malaysia 2007 oleh Pusat Tenaga Malaysia. FACT! Most of the CO2 emission is during the operation phase !!The Low Carbon Building Assessment System address this issue !!!

  20. GREEN PASS • A Government-led Energy performance rating system for buildings • Assesses environmental impact of construction &operational performance of building in ralation to carbon emission reduction • Elements assessed are site, material, energy, water, waste & indoor environment quality(IEQ) • Mooted in 2011, had undergone detailed scrutiny by the industry panel • Sent to BRE UK, UNEP-SBCI for their comments

  21. Why Have GREEN or SUSTAINABLE Buildings? • Save energy and resources, recycle materials and minimise the emission of toxic substances throughout its life cycle, • Harmonise with the local climate, traditions, culture and the surrounding environment, and • Able to sustain and improve the quality of human life whilst maintaining the capacity of the ecosystem at local and global levels

  22. IN COMPARISON TO THE AVERAGE COMMERCIAL BUILDING, GREEN BUILDING IS BETTER …. 26% LESS ENERGY 13% LOWER MAINTENANCE COST 27% HIGHER OCCUPANTS SATISFACTION 33% LESS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION

  23. Towards GREEN Building….the TECHNOLOGY Needs TRADITIONAL GREEN SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REDUCE ENERGY & WASTAGE GREEN MATERIALS RENEWABLE ENERGY ENERGY EFFICIENCY

  24. Technology Support M & E EQUIPMENT & SYSTEMS PASSIVE DESIGN – ORIENTATION & ENVELOPE ENERGY EFFICENCY PLUG LOADS - OFFICE EQUIPMENT, ICT BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

  25. WHERE IS THE MOST ENERGY USED?

  26. SKILLS FOR TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT GREEN

  27. Definition Technology • the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, systems, methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a problem, achieve a goal or perform a specific function. ( Source -Wikipedia) Technical Skills • the knowledge and abilities to operate the technology to accomplish a task.

  28. Technical skills changes • Improvement / enhancement of existing skill • Acquire new skill • Obsolescence of skill

  29. TECHNOLOGY & SKILLS FOR GREEN RENEWABLE ENERGY WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY FOR GREEN MATERIAL BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PLUG LOADS M & E SYSTEMS & EQUIPMENT

  30. SKILL NEEDS for GREEN and GRREN TECHNOLOGY G R E E N J O B S • At the basic level, new skill in installing ‘green system’, green technology” and ‘green products and materials’ • New skills in the design and manufacture of ‘green system’, green technology” and ‘green products and materials’ • New skills in Research & Development and including teaching of ‘green system’, green technology” and ‘green products and materials’ • New skills in putting all the sustainability, climate change, green technology together in the right perspective and making business sense of the whole thing. The job of a bus driver is ‘greener’ than that of a taxi driver

  31. CONSTRUCTION TRANSFORMATION & GREEN • BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM) • a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of facility • a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle. • covers spatial relationships, light analysis, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components. • enables a virtual information model to be handed from the design team (architects, surveyors, civil, structural and building services engineers, etc.) to the main contractor and subcontractors and then on to the owner/operator. • can be used to demonstrate the entire building life cycle, supporting processes including cost management, construction management, project management and facility operation.

  32. CONSTRUCTION TRANSFORMATION & GREEN INDUSTRIALISED BUILDING SYSTEM (IBS) - a technique of construction whereby components are manufactured in a controlled environment and transported, positioned and assembled into construction works. Advantage of IBS Reduce of unskilled worker Reduce of wastage Increase in quality Safer working environment in construction site Reduce construction period

  33. CONCLUSIONS • CONSTRUCTION IS SHIFTING FROM TRADITIONAL TO GREEN • THIS SHIFT WILL BE LARGELY DRIVEN BY TECHNOLOGY • IN TURN, TECHNICAL SKILLS WOULD ALSO HAVE TO CHANGE TO SUPPORT THE SHIFT
