Implementing sustainability in existing building through retrofitting measures

Energy is part of everyday lives and often taken for granted. Daily energy usage in existing building has produced vast amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and this contributes to major cause of climate change. Society today has become much too dependent on electrical devices and appliances wit...

description Energy is part of everyday lives and often taken for granted. Daily energy usage in existing building has produced vast amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and this contributes to major cause of climate change. Society today has become much too dependent on electrical devices and appliances without any regard that excessive energy consumption is threat to climate change. Malaysia has been progressively contributing efforts in tackling climate change and growth rate of GHG emission through promoting sustainable living and improving energy consumption in built-environment sector. The main driver in reducing energy consumption is by retrofitting existing building stocks in Malaysia. Excessive energy consumption in existing building is related to unethical behaviour of owner/tenants as the main consumer. Retrofitting the existing building is one of possible way in improving the energy efficiency.
