OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION IN GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS Ir. Dr. Abd. Murad Zainal Abidin Head of Mechanical Research Laboratory, Public Works Department THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT RELIANCE ON TECHNOLOGY AMONGST TOURIST SHOPPERS SINCE THE OUTBREAK OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THIS SHOWS THE NEED TO CONSIDER U-COMMERCE TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS TO ENABLE A TOURISM RETAILING INDUSTRY THAT IS SUSTAINABLE. THIS PAPER ARGUES THAT TOURIST SHOPPERS TODAY POSSESS INCREASED COMPREHENSION AND CONFIDENCE IN COMMERCE-RELATED TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS. SEVERAL KEY CONCEPTUAL U-COMMERCE APPLICATIONS AND CURRENT INDUSTRY PRACTICES ARE PRESENTED FOCUSING ON FOUR UTOURISM MARKETING STRATEGIES: IMMERSIVE MARKETING, NEXUS MARKETING, SYNC MARKETING, AND TRANSFORMATIONAL MARKETING. THE APPLICATIONS OF U-COMMERCE IN THE POST-PANDEMIC ERA WERE ALSO DISCUSSED, WHEREBY TO APPEAL TO A NEW WAVE OF TOURIST SHOPPERS.
THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE Dr. Malar Santhi Santherasegapan Medical Officer, Columbia Asia Hospital ALL MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE HAVE UNITEDLY COME FORWARD TO WARN HEALTH IMPLICATIONS WHICH MAY ARISE DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CRISIS. CLIMATE CHANGE COULD MAKE MANY EXISTING DISEASES WORSE, AND IT HELPS PESTS AND PATHOGENS SPREAD INTO NEW REGIONS. THE MOST VULNERABLE GROUP OF PEOPLE TO CLIMATE CHANGE ARE (I) CHILDREN, (II) THE ELDERLY AND (III) THOSE WITH COMORBID. THIS PRESENTATION WILL COVER POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS AND CRISIS ONTO HUMAN HEALTH DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE, THEREFORE EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABILITY TO MANKIND. sources : https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/climate-change-and-health
THE EVOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENT IN JKR – ITS INCEPTION TO PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND MONITORING YBhg. Dato’ Sri Ir. Dr. Roslan Bin Md Taha Former Director General, Public Works Department THE 10TH COMMONWEALTH HEADS OF GOVERNMENT MEETING (CHOGM) IN LANGKAWI ON 21ST OCTOBER 1989 HAD BROUGHT INSIGHT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY TO MALAYSIA AND IN PARTICULAR, JABATAN KERJA RAYA (JKR) MALAYSIA. AS THE MAIN TECHNICAL ARM OF THE GOVERNMENT WHICH UNDERTAKE NATIONAL PROJECTS, JKR DEVELOPED THIS SPECIAL BRANCH FROM A SKELETAL ENVIRONMENTAL TASK FORCE INTO A UNIT AND LATER, AS OF DATE, THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY BRANCH (CASKT). THIS PRESENTATION WILL DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING MOTHER NATURE NOT ONLY DURING PLANNING BUT ALSO DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. GREEN CERTIFICATION TO SHOW ONE’S COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND FINALLY THE MOVE TOWARDS ADVOCATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) GOALS WILL ALSO BE DELVED.

Serina Hijjas Vice President, Malaysia Green Building Council NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS AND INCREASING ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY INTO OUR GROWING CITIES IS TAKING CENTER STAGE AS WE FACE CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS OF HEAT ISLAND, FLOODING AND GLOBAL RISING TEMPERATURES. WHAT SHOULD WE CONSIDER?
THE ROLES, SIGNIFICANCES AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF POST-PROJECT IMPACT ASSESSMENTS (POST-PIA) IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Prof. Ts. Dr. Hj. Muhamad Zaly Shah Muhammad Hussien Director, Centre for Innovative Planning and Development, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia source : freepik.com source : freepik.com CURRENT PRACTICE DICTATES THAT THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF A PROJECT MUST BE ASSESSED PRIOR TO THE EXECUTION OF THE PROJECT. THESE PRE-PROJECT IMPACT ASSESSMENTS (PRE-PIA) INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (TIA), ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) AND THE SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (SIA). THE FINDINGS FROM PRE-PIA FORM A PRIORI KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PROJECT. THESE A PRIORI, I.E. PRESUMPTIVE, KNOWLEDGE IS PURELY PREDICTIVE/SPECULATIVE. NONETHELESS, PRE-PIA FINDINGS DO SERVE SOME IMPORTANT PURPOSES INCLUDING PRESCRIBING MITIGATION ACTIONS TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE PROJECT OWNER. WHAT IS MISSING, HOWEVER, IS THE POST-PROJECT ASSESSMENT ON THE IMPACT OF THE PROJECT. DESPITE THE FACT THAT POST-PROJECT IMPACT ASSESSMENTS (POST-PIA) ARE FACTUAL, UNLIKE PREPIA THAT ARE PREDICTIVE/SPECULATIVE, THE PRACTICE OF ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF A PROJECT AFTER ITS COMPLETION IS NOT COMMON OR STANDARD PRACTICE. APART FROM DETERMINING WHETHER A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ACHIEVES ITS INTENDED OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS, POST-PIA CREATES A LEARNING FRAMEWORK, I.E. A POSTERIORI KNOWLEDGE, WHICH CAN BE USED IN OTHER SIMILAR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ENSURING SUSTAINABILITY IN UTILISING RESOURCES.
SUSTAINABLE LITERACY: AN IMPERATIVE IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Datuk Prof. Dr. Azizan Baharuddin UKM-YSD Chair for Sustainability, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Director, Centre for Civilisational Dialogue, University of Malaya THE PRESENTATION WILL FIRST OF ALL DWELL ON THE DEFINITION AND CAUSES OF THE UNSUSTAINABILITY CRISES CURRENTLY FACED BY HUMANITY. KNOWLEDGE OF THESE CAUSES WILL LEAD TO A GREATER AND MORE REALISTIC APPRECIATION OF THE SDGS WHICH CURRENTLY IS THE MAIN VEHICLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE SUSTAINABILITY IMPERATIVE IS ACTED UPON. EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY LITERACY ELEMENTS WILL THEN BE DESCRIBED TOGETHER WITH EXAMPLES. source : freepik.com source : freepik.com
CLIMATE CHANGE & HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS Ir. Chen Thiam Leong ACEM Gold Medal Award Recipient Advisor, Building Automation System Association of Malaysia IT IS INCONCEIVABLE THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS ESCALATING AND THAT WE CAN (AND MUST) ACT TO SLOW DOWN ITS EFFECT. CLOSING THE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT CYCLES IS CERTAINLY NOT AN EASY TASK, HOWEVER, IT IS A NECESSARY COMMITMENT IF THE HUMAN RACE WANTS TO ENSURE OUR VERY OWN SUSTAINABLE EXISTENCE. WE SIMPLY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO WORK TOWARDS THIS GOAL OF (AT LEAST) STRETCHING OUR RESOURCES. FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, THE BUILDING INDUSTRY WHICH HAS SERVED MANKIND EXTREMELY WELL (IN TERMS OF COMFORT, CONVENIENCE AND THE LIKE), NOW NEEDS TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS EFFORT (SINCE WE WILL NOT LIKELY SACRIFICE ALL THE COMFORT AND LUXURY THAT WE HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO). HENCE, THE NEED FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDING CANNOT REMAIN A LONG TERM DREAM. source : freepik.com SOURCE: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS (PUBLIC DOMAIN)
GREEN CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING DESIGN: ROADMAP TOWARDS CARBON NEUTRAL Prof. Dr. Zainura Zainon Noor Director, Centre for Environmental Sustainability and Water Security, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS A MAJOR USER OF NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CONTRIBUTOR TO EMISSION OF GREENHOUSE GASES, THUS REQUIRING TO ACHIEVE NET-ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS BY 2050. INDEED, CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ACCOUNT FOR 36% OF GLOBAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND 39% OF GLOBAL CARBON DIOXIDEEMISSIONS. REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS REQUIRES ADAPTED GOVERNMENT POLICIES, CARBON EMISSION ANALYSIS AND CALCULATION MODELS, AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS. THE BEST SOLUTIONS FOR ACHIEVING CARBON NEUTRALITY COMBINE TECHNOLOGY WITH GREEN CONSTRUCTION. THE GOAL OF CARBON NEUTRALITY WILL INEVITABLY INVOLVE SMART BUILDINGS, AS ANALYSIS OF IOT DATA HELPS IDENTIFY WASTE AND INCREASE EFFICIENCY WHILE REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS. THIS PRESENTATION REVIEWS GREEN CONSTRUCTION WITH FOCUS ON HISTORY, CARBON EMISSIONS, POLICIES, MODELS, LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT, AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS SUCH AS BIOCHAR, BIOPLASTIC, AGRICULTURAL WASTE, ANIMAL WOOL, FLY ASH AND SELF-HEALING CONCRETE. THE PRESENTATION WILL ALSO LOOK INTO WAYS OF MONITORING AND CONTROLLING BUILDING ENERGY USAGE, ANALYTICS-LED SMART TECHNOLOGIES CAN CONTROL BUILDING OPERATIONS, ONSITE ENERGY GENERATION, AND BATTERY STORAGE, MAXIMIZING BENEFITS THAT ENSURE BUILDINGS AND THEIR SYSTEMS GENERATE LOW IMPACTS TO THE ENVIRONMENT TOWARDS THEIR LIFETIME.
