    This document introduces a new building rating system called the Green Building Rating Tool that aims to quantify and reduce the environmental impact of buildings. It aims to integrate carbon emission assessment criteria and socio-economic sustainability factors into its evaluation. The rating system evaluates buildings across nine criteria such as energy performance, embodied carbon, and water efficiency, at three stages: design, construction, and operations. It aims to balance environmental and human factors, raise awareness of life-cycle impacts, and be practical for all stakeholders to use. Key features include point-based scoring across criteria weighted based on other international standards, and converting points to estimated carbon emission values. Buildings can achieve one to five-star ratings based on their total percentage score.

    INTRODUCTION OF THE SYSTEM


    PREFACE: WHY INTEGRATE CARBON REDUCTION AND SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS?
    Recent developments in climate change have made it more urgent for us as nations,
    networks and communities to shift the gear of sustainability from idealism to action.
    Currently, we need a direct response to the climate change spectre, which has inadvertently
    moved from an idle threat to a global phenomenon. Climate change a global problem
    requiring action on a global scale - has the capacity to offset all of mankinds past economic
    achievements and reduce our socio-economic conditions. Humanity is faced with a
    downgrading of our standards of living and economic progress, or even a disaster in the era
    of future generations. We are now increasingly witnessing the signs of the debilitating threat
    of global warming and the uncertainty over long-term energy supplies.
    Buildings consume approximately 50 percent of electricity produced in the world. As a
    result, buildingswhether commercial, institutional and residentialare responsible for
    approximately 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Majority come from
    burning fossil fuels to operate the buildings, while others come from manufacturing of
    materials as well as operations and long-term maintenances.
    Hence, the primary objective of this system is to create a built environment that can respond
    to the need to minimise carbon emission and even zero-rise net carbon emissions of the
    built environment. It also intends to address a more holistic and net benefits of the socioeconomic aspects of sustainability.
    The development of the system recognizes the need for performance-based standards in
    addressing green building design and construction to provide a framework linking
    sustainability indicators to performance-based index. This serves to mitigate climate change.
    The system is founded on the principle that a model standard must address building
    performance beyond those captured by the current rating systems or other evaluation
    guides. Therefore, it shall be useable and adoptable to be an effective in the construction
    industry.
    The main principle of the system is that economic growth should be spurred in ways that
    minimise environmental impacts of the built environment. By creating efficient energy and
    transport systems and implementing best practices in building design, construction and
    maintenance, everyone will share the benefits of increased prosperity in a clean and safe
    environment.

    INTRODUCTION
    The Green Building Rating Tool is a designed sustainable building rating system or tool that
    aims to quantify, hence reduce, built environments impact in terms of carbon emissions and
    environmental implications, while taking into account a more holistic life-cycle view of the
    built environment. It also aims to integrate socio-economic considerations relating to the
    built environment and urban development.
    AIMS
    1. To integrate carbon assessment criteria and reduction strategies into the matrix of a
    combined sustainable assessment rating system of the built environment.
    2. To provide a more holistic rating system by integrating and extending the present
    criteria into life cyclelinked performances and issues.
    3. To extend the present green building assessment into life-cycle impacts and its
    quantification.
    4. To combine both carbon emission and sustainable performance factors into a
    combined
    criterion linked to the design, construction, commissioning and
    operations of buildings.
    5. To be in line with the aims of Low Carbon City Framework and Assessment System by
    KETTHA.

    OBJECTIVES

    1. To quantify the environmental impacts of the built environment in both


    carbon reduction and sustainable impact terms.
    2. To ensure the best environmental practice according to global and local
    standards and targets.
    3. To maintain and improve a database of impacts and best practice case
    studies to reduce carbon emissions in design and life-cycle impacts.
    4. To raise awareness of the life-cycle impacts of the built environment and
    its components.
    5. To balance robustness with durability and practicality and ease of use.
    6. To produce a tool flexible enough to be used by all stake holders,
    consultants and contractors and for all building types and scenarios .
    7. To balance long and short term targets.
    8. To balance environmental and human socioeconomic issues.

    KEY DEFINITIONS
    As a working definition list in the system, the definitions are as follows:

    1) Certification Phase the three certification awards which have their own scorecards for
    the three main phases of the system.
    2) Criteria the category or group of points.
    3) Sub-criteria the term which means point
    4) Scorecard the list of maximum points or sub-criteria in the system (S, CR and CI subcriteria), which an applicant can choose from for any project.
    This definition list will be finalised, added to and amended from time to time.

    CRITERIAS

    There are 9 CRITERIA (or more commonly known as CATEGORY) in the system:

    THE RATING SYSTEM: CHARACTERISTIC, FEATURES & HIGHLIGHT

    The following summary and key points attempt to give an overview of the key features,
    characteristics and highlights of the system, including its scorecards and calculators.
    1. The structure of the system is based on total points accumulation and weightage
    between criteria of site, energy and water, Material and Indoor environment are
    based on a broad and in-depth study of the weightage given to various international
    green systems in the world. These include LEED, CEPAS, HKBEAM, GRIHA, GBI and
    GREENMARK. The scoring weightage reflects the average weightage from the
    combination of these green building and sustainable rating systems.
    2. As Malaysia is yet to have a carbon intensity database or carbon index of buildings
    and master plan, the present system converts points to carbon emission values.
    However, key points such as energy and water are based on the award of
    percentage savings on emissions above a baseline value. These savings are
    converted to points and reconverted to carbon emission value in the system total
    carbon summation page.

    3. Many of the features, ratings and emphasis are taken from a combination of
    GreenPASS carbon assessment system developed by the CIDB and pHJKR developed
    by the Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia.
    RATING CLASSIFICATION

    The system rating is divided into five levels starting from one star to highest 5 star. Table
    below show between score and the star rating.

    MYCREST RATING

    Percentage SCORE
    (%)
    80-100
    70 79
    60 69
    50 59
    40 - 49

    In the system, every development will have three types of certification awarded at each
    stage (Design, Construction and Operation and Maintenance).
