1.1.1 Building Energy Management Clinic

In 2020, a total of two energy management clinics were carried out involving the Putrajaya Lake
Club building on 20 October 2020 and the Putrajaya Islamic Complex on 17 December 2020.
The initiative in the form of capacity building was implemented via the walk-through audits by
providing advice and guidance on building energy management for free.

As a result of the two series of energy management clinics conducted, improvement measures
from various aspects were submitted for action by the building owner or manager. For example:

To ensure that the door is always closed to prevent The position of the lamp casing is adjusted to ensure

INTEGRATING NATURE
INTO THE URBAN FABRIC

2.1 TREE-PLANTING PROGRAMME

The 100 Million Tree-Planting Campaign was officiated by the YAB Prime Minister and
carried out nationwide starting on 5 January 2021. The campaign aims to raise awareness on
the importance of green cover areas and forests for the well-being and quality of life as well as
improving ecosystems and biodiversity. As of November 2021, a total of 17 million trees have
been successfully planted across the nation. The types of trees planted include woody plants
and shrubs.

Planting of a merbau tree by the YAB Prime Minister at the The Greening Malaysia Cycling and

campaign. With the number of new plantings, the total number of trees (including shrubs) in
Putrajaya as of December 2021 were 740,670.

14 Integrating Nature Into The Urban Fabric

The Greening Malaysia Application

The Greening Malaysia Application serves as a platform to share information on the trees planted
by various parties involved in the campaign. Developed by The Ministry of Energy and Natural
Resources, the application can record the number of trees that have been planted from 2021 to
2025.

Aside from being a medium to record information on the planted trees, other particulars
including campaign facts, tree species and marketplace are also available.

PUTRAJAYA

In 2021, Putrajaya Corporation has further improved the public transport system with the addition
of 2 new electric-powered public buses, thus bringing the total number of electric buses in Putrajaya
to 13 units.

These electric buses are equipped with a Super Quick Charging (SQC) system that can charge
to a full battery level in just 10 minutes that will enable them to travel as far as 80km. This can
indirectly increase the frequency of bus services.

The double-decker electric bus can accommodate up to 70 passengers and is equipped
with facilities for disabled passenger.

24 Transportation and Mobility

Launch of Putrajaya Free Bus Service

On 26 October 2020, the Ministry of Federal Territories (KWP) and Putrajaya Corporation launched
the Putrajaya Free Bus Service programme. This initiative under the Wilayah Prihatin KWP aims to
specifically help Putrajaya residents to lessen their burden in terms of transport costs as well as
encourage the use of public buses in Putrajaya.

The free bus service will operate daily from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. There are 3 free bus
routes namely route 1 (Putrajaya Sentral to Government Complex in Precinct 1), route

2 (Putrajaya Sentral to Precinct 2,3,4 and 5) and route 3 (in Precinct 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5).

The above efforts are expected to have a positive impact in reducing carbon emissions from the
transport sector and reduce dependence on fossil fuels in the city.

4.1 IMPROVEMENT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY

4.1.1 Putrajaya Corporation Complex
Putrajaya Corporation has continued its efforts to improve energy efficiency for phase five (5)
beginning on 25 May 2021 with the conventing conventional lamps to LED lamps. This initiative
is implemented with the aim of reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions from the
building sector. Efforts to improve energy efficiency in the PPj Complex involve the following areas:
i. Office Block.
ii. Annexe Block.
iii. Cempaka Sari Auditorium.
iv. Seri Melati Hall.
v. Kiblat Walk parking.

4.1.2 Street Lights

Putrajaya Corporation has continued its efforts in improving energy efficiency through the
conversion of existing lights (high pressure sodium valve-FPSV) to the energy efficient type (light
emitting diode-LED). This effort is also in line with the key performance indicators in the Putrajaya
Corporation Strategic Plan 2021-2025 which sets a saving of two percent on electricity bills for

LED street lights installation works at Persiaran Sultan Salahuddin
Abdul Aziz Shah, Precinct 1.

Apart from the ongoing energy saving street light conversion initiative, PPj has also improved street
lighting management with the use of the smart street lighting system. One of the pilot projects
that have been implemented are at the Diplomatic Enclave, Precinct 15, Putrajaya involved 120
units of street lights.

This smart system enables centralized monitoring of street lights, detects types of street light
faults more accurately and indirectly speeds up the timing.

Low Carbon Cities Catalyst Grant (GeRAK)
The efforts to improve the energy efficiency of street lights at Persiaran Perdana Putrajaya also
received funding under the Low Carbon Cities Catalyst Grant (GeRAK). The allocation under the
Strategic Programme to Empower the People and the Economy (PERKASA) is channeled by the
Government of Malaysia through the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation
(MGTC).

BEFORE AFTER

A total of 300 units street lights had been replaced from metal hallide street lights (400W+250W) to
LED street lights (240W) along Persiaran Perdana Precinct 2 to 4.

GeRAK allocation of RM250,000 has been channeled for the replacement of 80 street lights in Precinct

2 - 4. The replacement of these energy saving lights is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by 63%

(652,666kgCO2). Energy Usage

4.2 INCREASING THE USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

4.2.1 Net Energy Metering Programme 3.0

The Net Energy Metering (NEM) Programme was introduced by the Government of Malaysia
in November 2016 and subsequently continued with NEM 2.0 in January 2019. NEM aims to
encourage the use of Renewable Energy (RE) in Malaysia. NEM 2.0 has already received encouraging
response and the 500MW quota has been fully subscribed by 31 December 2020. With demand
from the solar photovoltaic industry, the Government has announced the implementation of NEM
3.0 effective in February 2021.

There are three initiatives under NEM 3.0 for the residential category (domestic tariff), the
government building category, and the commercial and industrial building category. The three
initiatives are as follows:
i. NEM Rakyat Programme
ii. NEM GoMEn (Ministries and Government Entities) Programme
iii. NOVA (Net Offset Virtual Aggregation) Programme

NEM 3.0 allows electricity consumers to supply electricity from their own generation. The NEM 3.0
concept will ensure that the energy generated from the installed solar photovoltaic system is used
first and the excess energy will be exported to the distribution licensee, Tenaga Nasional Berhad.

Figure 4.1: NEM 3.0 Concept

As of 2021, the NEM application in
Putrajaya was 6,900.80kWp. The
estimated solar power generation
was 882MWh per year. In terms of
percentage, residential buildings
were the highest contributor at 72%
(639MWh) followed by commercial
buildings at 28% (243MWh).

WATER USAGE

5.1 LAKE WATER QUALITY CONTROL

For the purpose of lake water quality control, an innovative approach namely the mini wetland
concept has been utilised by Putrajaya Corporation. The main function of the mini wetland is to
improve the inlet as the final defensive wall of surface runoff control from non-point sources of
pollution.
The pilot project has been carried out in several locations such as Upper Bisa Wetland, Precinct
16, Skyride and Millennium Monument, Precinct 2. This new approach will help control the entry of
garbage into the lake and increase the aesthetic value of the inlet (the main drain).

The inlet improvement was found to increase the efficiency of contaminant absorption and help maintain the water
quality index (WQI) Class II for Putrajaya Lake.

5.2 PUTRAJAYA LAKE AWARENESS PROGRAMME

5.2.1 Public Participation in Putrajaya Lake and Wetlands Management

The 3EP (Ecosystem and Environmental Educational Programme) was resumed with the
implementation of the Bio-Indicator Monitoring Programme in the Anak Sungai Gajah, Precinct
9, Putrajaya. This monitoring programme was organized in collaboration with the Department of
Irrigation and Drainage (JPS) Putrajaya and was attended by 100 participants from the community
and students of higher learning institutions.

The main objective of the programme was to provide exposure to participants on the ecosystem of Lakes and Wetlands
as well as cultivate the spirit of preserving the environment and water bodies in Putrajaya.
