Green Technology in Malaysia
  Four pillars of the Malaysia Green Technology
  Policy (announced on 24 July 2009):
    Energy
    Environment
    Economy
    Social
  Focuses on 4 key areas/sectors:
    Energy
    Buildings
    Water and waste management

   2. Provide Conducive Environment for Green
      Technology Development
   3. Intensify Human Capital Development in
      Green Technology
   4. Intensify Green Technology Research and
      Innovations
   5. Promotion and Public Awareness
Green Technology / application in
Buildings
  -The green technology in building is mostly refer to the technology
  and applications to reduce impact to the Energy and Environment
  related to building services
    a) Design : Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy &
               Water Management.
    b) Office appliances
    c) Operation: Energy management in the O&M.
    d) Renovation / retrofits
    e) Other - Paper and water recycling
             - Indoor air quality.
             - Solid waste management / separation
    f) End users awareness

Control & Sensors




     Present Sensor
     -Physical sensors / movement detector
     -Thermal movement (Infra red) detection
Lighting Control Strategy : “Manual ON and Automatic/Manual OFF”
Control & Sensors




   Daylight Sensor
   -The brightness sensor (ranges from 1 to 20000 lux) can
   send switching signals through the EIB protocol to the
   actuators when the brightness exceeds or falls below a
   specified threshold.
Energy Efficient Office Equipment




• Laptop is the least energy consuming (1/4 only) in comparison to PC
  with CRT monitor and PC with LCD monitor.
• 80 % of the PC used in the ZEO Building is laptop.
• Less energy consumed and less heat generated thus save A/C energy.
Sharing Networked Printers

Most of the printing works are through the networked printers.

 Benefits :
  a) Save energy – Reduce standby losses of the individual printers.
  b) Reduce printing time – No need to wait for printer to warming up and
       waste energy.
  c) Save space – Clean and manageable workspace area.
  d) Easy maintenance – since number of printers are less.
  e) Cost effective – printing cost is lesser due to high performance
      system.
   f) Others – Most networked printers (good one) have dual pages printing
      capability, save paper.
Wireless IT Distribution Network

• 75% of the IT distribution network are wireless. Most laptops already
  have support WiFi feature.

 Benefits :
  a) Mobility – Provide flexibility to officer to work anywhere in the building.
  b) Easy to manage – No complicated wiring on the floor / table.
  c) Save cost – less IT equipment (hubs / switches).
  d) Save energy – less IT equipment to operate and no additional
                     cooling system.

• Only 25% are networked through the structured cabling system (CAT5e).
  To support the critical / high end equipment such as servers, printers, fax.
High Temperature Server Room

• Server room operates at higher temperature room, 24 – 25
  degC, still within the recommended operating temperature.
• Normal server rooms temperature are normally set at 19 –
  20 degC, which is normally recommended by IT consultants.

• Benefits :
  a) Save energy – Reduce energy for cooling.
  b) Prolog lifespan of cooling equipment – work less.
  c) Low maintenance cost – Less wear & tear due to less compressor
  loading.
  d) No need de-humidifier – No risk of condensation.
  e) Better working environment (not too cold) for the IT operators.
Building Management System




> Open protocol system : Using TCP-IP and LonWorks system
Building Management System
• Incorporate Building Automation System
  - Operate building services automatically especially the cooling system.
  - Reduce operation & maintenance time to operate the building.
  - Reduce troubleshooting time to rectify problems.

• Incorporate Energy Management System.
  - Records energy consumption.
  - Auto generate Building Energy Index (BEI) on daily and monthly basis.
  - Records energy generated by the Solar PV.
  - Records energy imported and exported to the grid (TNB).
  - Load apportioning, as input for energy audit analysis.
  - Temperature and humidity

• Can be access remotely via internet / intranet.
  - Save time for building manager to access from anywhere to monitor /
program the system.
Issues and Challenges

  Introduction and implementation of
  economic instrument
  To ensure availability of skilled, qualified,
  competent and productive human
  resource to support green IT growth
  To foster research, development and
  demonstration in green IT
  Promotion and public awareness
Conclusion

 Green IT development in Malaysia is
 still at the early stage. Greater efforts
 and promotion is required to ensure
 the success of development and
 implementation of Green Technology
 Policy in Malaysia.
