I hope you have a little moment to spare to give some thought to the five short and sharp points I would like to share with you.

The first point; I live in a condo. It is hot. I need air-conditioning but I don’t use it because I don’t want to push up my RM30 energy bill so at the moment I am sweating. I hope we can focus more on passive solutions which Malaysia needs, such as insulation, shading and glass – materials which don’t allow heat to pass through. Sometimes when you focus on GBI (Green Building Index) alone, you forget the passive solutions maybe because you are focusing on engineering and equipment only.
