Week 6| Sustainable Development and Green Building?

This week seminar was talk about the Sustainable development. Firstly, I thought the Sustainable Development was same meaning of Green Building and I can't differentiate between them before Ms Liew described us the meaning and function.
Actually Sustainable development is a way to include many issues simultaneously and to mutual benefit, including local regeneration, community relations and service delivery. It based on balancing social, economic and environmental costs and benefits to ensure the best future. It is about looking at long term as well as short term costs and consequences, and about looking at global as well as local aspects of any decision to meets the needs of the present without harm for the future generations.


In other way, Green Building is a part of aspect in sustainable development, it using the green technologies to reduce energy consumption and designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by efficiently using energy, water, and other resources. Besides that, Green Building might incorporate sustainable materials in their construction such as reused, recycled-content, or made from renewable resources to create healthy indoor environments with minimal pollutants.


In Malaysia, there are a lot of government and private companies start focus on the sustainable development. So this sustainable concept will important to support future career to achieve high opportunities in my employment.
