Abstract
Most sustainable building design research in Malaysia for concentrates on technological issues for high performance “green buildings” on private commercial properties and single residential units. There is lack of research in environmental performance of public low-cost housing, and the impact of energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emission through building operation in Malaysia. This paper is part of a Doctoral research that aims to shed some light on the environmental perform-ance of low-cost housing in Malaysia, using UNEP-SBCI’s Common Carbon Metric to measure energy-related GHG emissions from building operations of selected low-cost housing projects.
