Abstract<\/p>\n

A high-rise building has always been categorised as a high-energy-consumption building type due to its dependency\u00a0on artificial indoor environment. This paper investigates the potential of daylight utilisation in high-rise offices in\u00a0tropical climate for sustainable development. A survey on 13 existing high-rise offices and field measurement in\u00a0Johor Bahru, Malaysia was conducted. The result indicated the evidence of underuse of daylight, due to the glare\u00a0and thermal problem, despite the high external daylight availability. Scaled physical model of a typical high-rise
\noffice was constructed and tested under various tropical sky conditions: intermediate sky with direct sunlight patch\u00a0(DSLP), intermediate sky without DSLP and overcast sky. The finding proved that the effective daylighting depth\u00a0in tropical sky can be as deep as 3.8 times height of the window from work plane (H). A proper control of the\u00a0dynamic daylighting using shading device and window glazing was needed for effective use of daylight for energy\u00a0saving and visual comfort.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/p>\n

The fundamental factor determining the development of corporations and cities is corporate and municipal asset\u00a0management. In a developed capital market and at the time of global economic hardship, a major issue on which\u00a0investment and real estate decisions are based is the understanding of decision makers’ motives, determinants of\u00a0decision making, decision types, decision criteria and decision-making process. The knowledge of these enables\u00a0corporate and municipal managers to make rational decisions. The general aim of this paper is to provide a
\ntheoretical justification for the importance of asset management in corporation and municipality. Besides, the\u00a0implementation of a formal decision-making process as a tool of a structured way for solving problems and\u00a0verifying factors should be included in the decision-making process in reference to corporate and municipal asset\u00a0management. Although, it is only a literature review, the discussion can be useful for private investors and public\u00a0real estate managers. It will also be useful in the process of mutual communication as formal methods have the\u00a0potential to improve communication, raise efficiency, precision and common approval of the decision result.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/p>\n

Energy is an important pillar in supporting the growth of a nation, notably for developing countries such as\u00a0Malaysia. The consumption of energy (per meter square) in large public buildings accounts for about 70300\u00a0kwh, in which the consumption rate is 10-20 times higher than residential buildings. One of the\u00a0reasons for such high energy consumption pattern is due to lack of energy awareness and pro-environmental\u00a0behaviour among government office building users. Such non-structural problems can be solved through\u00a0research agenda by focusing on fostering energy conservation behaviour among government building users.\u00a0Choong (2009) proposed the use of Conceptual Model of Energy Awareness Development Process\u00a0(CMEADP) in raising energy awareness and to improve energy-use behaviour. According to the model, the\u00a0first step to create awareness is through presenting appropriate stimulus. By considering the importance of\u00a0stimulation in raising energy awareness and fostering energy conservation behaviour, this paper explores\u00a0and suggests the usage of visual communication on how to use image to stimulate energy conservation\u00a0behaviour among government office building users.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/p>\n

As globalisation of international construction markets emerged, vast opportunities are available for Malaysian firms\u00a0to foray abroad and compete internationally. Yet, owing to the uncertainties and complexities associated with the\u00a0international construction domain, the entry decisions for international construction markets are difficult. Numerous\u00a0researchers studied the risk assessment for international construction projects; however, there is lack of study on\u00a0firms\u2019 capabilities that are to be considered before making risk assessment. The value of this critical review of\u00a0concepts and methods resides in (1) its incorporation of firms\u2019 capabilities to risk assessment and (2) its exploration\u00a0of the purpose of the existing risk assessment methodologies. The review was undertaken to set the stage for a future\u00a0study on the incorporation of firms\u2019 capabilities in international construction risk assessment among the Malaysian\u00a0construction firms foraying abroad.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/p>\n

Malaysia has undergone rapid urbanization and economic growth for the past decades and is expected to continue to\u00a0have an average economic growth of 5% \u2013 6% per annum in the next five years. This phenomenon of growth and\u00a0pursuit of socio economic progress has great impact not only on the economy but also on community lifestyle and\u00a0environment. The Malaysian government adopted the concept of sustainable development as early as mid 1990s to
\naddress some of the emerging environmental issues and more specifically recent issues of climate change.\u00a0Consequently, the concept of new urbanism, compact city and promotion of public transport was highlighted in\u00a0many urban development plans. The Malaysian government announced a commitment of voluntary 40% reduction\u00a0in carbon dioxide (CO) emission intensity by 2020 during the Conference of Party (COP15) meeting in\u00a0Copenhagen in 2009. In parallel to this commitment of CO2\u00a0reduction, the concept of sustainable development in
\nurban planning will incorporate a more comprehensive and quantitative approach in the preparation of development\u00a0plan as well as in exercising the routine development control practice at the local planning authority. Therefore, the\u00a0scope of work of urban and regional planning should integrate the concept of low carbon city to reduce carbon\u00a0emission. The paper discusses low carbon emission in urban planning and the policy packages required to reduce
\nenergy consumption and CO2\u00a0emission. It explores the existing framework for carbon reduction in Putrajaya towards\u00a0providing the platform for development of low carbon emission in real estate development and low carbon society in\u00a0Malaysia. Finally, the paper believes that the policy packages of the environmental blueprint for the overall master\u00a0planning of the cities such as Putrajaya, Cyberjaya and Iskandar Malaysia will be effective for real estate\u00a0development in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
