28. Why Low Carbon
Building System is Affordable ?
Cheaper way
The longer the way = $$$$$

29. WHY GreenPASS IS RECOMMENDED?
Easy to evaluate the actual performance through its
life cycle.
Straight forward and transparent of accounting
emissions through energy consumption / carbon
footprint.
Has potential to support carbon trading purposes (if
applicable) or NAMA mechnisme (in future).
Complement to the existing conventional GB system
by helping to narrow the gap and maturing the green
building industry.
Supporting government efforts for reaching national
climate reduction target for 2020
Provide flexibility for designers to achieve the design
target.
Economical and affordable by all stakeholders

30. BASED ON SERIES OF R&D AND
STUDIES SHOWS THAT
SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ARE THE
FUNDAMENTAL TO REDUCE
OPERATIONAL CARBON
FOOTPRINT IN BUILDINGS !!
