2.1 INTEGRATED BUILDING DESIGN

By

using local material the building breaking away from the conventional glass and aluminium box to create an office building that is more suited to the local climate and context. Of being environmentally friendly, sustainable and responsible. Of having a strong connection with nature.

Volumetric green garden landscape served as relieve point for ventilation, lighting, esthetically and work environment.

A key green feature is the white concrete faade, which comprises of 150mm thick walls with only 38% openings for windows, minimizing heat gain while maintaining optimum natural light in the office spaces.

Water collected from rainwater harvesting system is used for irrigation.

Marine plywood with Meranti veneer was used on the walls and ceilings of the lobby level.

Most of the surface of the building faade is mainly facing north-south and reducing the exposure of sun from east-west direction.

2.3.2 BUILDING AND ENERGY SYSTEM

Water, Sanitary and Plumbing Systems
1 Covered water tank on rooftop

Introduction This office building tries to save as much when it comes to water, sanitary and plumbing systems. System The domestic water is pumped by the filtration room from the suction tank to the water tank which is located on the rooftop. For the toilet, it uses waterless urinals which applies the liquid barrier systems. It is an oil-based sealant that floats on top of the urine to prevent odours. The taps are one of the water efficient fittings which use as little as 2 litres pe.r minute. ! Other than that, Point 92 building uses the Water Condensate Recovery using a mechanical pump. For this, a standby pump, a duty pump and a jockey pump is used. A plumbing is provided at one corner of each office for pantry use. Location Water condensate recovery Basement Waterless urinals Every toilet on every floor Water efficient fittings Every toilet on every floor Water tank Roof top Suction tank Basement

! Introduction It uses the conventional method of supplying electric by the Substation to the distribution boards on every floor by an electrical riser. The TNB substation uses dual feed system that applies GBI requirement. So, the generator is not commonly used in this building according to the technician. For the offices, junction boxes are provided on the floor for electrical and telecommunication purposes. Underfloor trunking is applied in this building. ! System To control and manage every system around the building, a Building Automation System using the computer is set up in the control room. ! Location TNB substation, generator set, switch room Ground floor Electrical riser Every floor

2.8 RAINWATER HARVESTING

Introduction The Point 92 building uses rainwater harvesting system by collecting water from the roof top surface that flown to the drain, down to rainwater down pipes, which filtered by debris trap. System By utilizing this system, the rainwater act as independent water supply for the building that give the benefits on lowering environmental impacts and reducing the cost of water bills. Location Rain water harvesting tank Basement Rain water collect (FASTFLOW rain water downpipe) Rooftop

The rainwater collected is being used for irrigation purposes

ANALYSIS
Comparison of using green design rather than conventional method

Rainwater harvesting system

Rainwater are one of the resources that is commonly neglected and not being harvested even though it is abundant. Rainwater from the roof surface is channeled out directly to the drain without using it back causing overflown drainage that leads to flash flood. By using rainwater harvesting system, water collected and being stored can be used for irrigation, flushing toilet, and clean water if it is filtered and treated properly. Cost reduction of water bills and sustainability is achieved by using green design rather than conventional method. Waste reduction and recycling Waste from unwanted material are the major cause of pollution, by recycling back the unwanted material and waste reduction, can be beneficial to the environment. Cutting the paper usage by replacing printed data to electronic data is one of the effort of green solution rather than conventional way. Vegetation To corporate with green design, planting lush vegetation is a must, most of the conventional building cut off the green area that causes hotspot, deforestation that lead to landslides and unpleasant views. Greenery helps to filtering the air, provides shade, evoke calming atmosphere and doing justice to nature. Looking up green design rather conventional method opens up possibility to using nature in a right way as a catalyst for economic purpose.

ANALYSIS
Comparison of using green design rather than conventional method

Building Energy System

The electrical power supply uses a dual feed supply. It is better than the conventional method of only providing one because if anything happens, theres a back up power for this office building. However, the generator set provided is rarely being use due to the dual feed supply of electrical power. In my opinion, it is a waste of space and money to put it the generator set when theres already a TNB substation that has dual feed supply following the requirement of GBI index. The sanitary fittings are very efficient as it save long term cost although it is quite high in terms of capital cost. These systems should be applied in new buildings in order to save the long term cost and most importantly the environment.

Window and Glazing System

The window and glazing system is better than conventional as it traps in hot air and keep the air indoor quality at good stake. This should be applied in the construction of windows to achieve human comfort level. Other than that, this office building only allows the user to put in blinds instead of curtains to make sure that the large amount of natural lighting being used to light up the office rather than using artificial lighting that would boost electric bills.

CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, we can conclude that the building are well equipped with green system and all of them are in good care. The building energy systems are all in good hand by the engineers, technician and such. The green area provided are enough to make it as a better working environment for workers in the office building. It also functions as a filter for heat. In a nutshell, we can conclude that from what we have learned and observed, we should apply these green design into our project for a better building quality for people to enjoy. We hope that these knowledge will give us an advantage in the real practice later.
