* Green Building
Green buildings are designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its surroundings which means reducing building impact on human health and environment during the building’s lifecycle through saving energy and resources, recycling materials and minimising the emission of toxic substances.

Different countries have their own rating system of green building for example GBI (Green Building Index0) in Malaysia, Green Building Council

A major threat to going green is expending too much cash at one time during the upgrade process; this process has to be done…
