Sustainability and Green Construction (original) (raw)

Along with other developing countries Malaysia’s Industrial building system known as IBS has developed a lot for the purpose of maintaining sustainability in building system and government. The main aim of IBS is to deliver and enhance sustainability in terms of construction and environment. Some resources are about to finish, eventually with the aid of IBS the chance to prevent shortage of sources will increase. In construction sustainability needs to be considered in order to have maintained healthier built environment. Not only to prevent resource overuse, but also to meet people’s safety in building construction IBS is highlighted. It is also related to one society’s national economy since in terms of IBS groups of people will be provided by buildings which each will be economical with sustainability criteria. If the building site be adjusted to sustainability principles it means that construction environment is controlled. Due to the high cost on-site assembly process if the planning and the process of construction do not control and achieved correctly, the sustainability’s profits will not be accomplished. In IBS if efficient control of planning and process not be monitored very well, benefits of IBS in sustainability can be lost because of high cost on-site assembly processes.
