Project 2
Case Study - Green Buildings in Malaysia - Group ( 40% )
In this assignment, we need to research green buildings in Malaysia, select one for an in-depth case study, analyze its environmental strategies focusing on energy performance and comfort, visit if possible for firsthand understanding, compile relevant data, create an A1 poster showcasing environmental strategies, develop a 1-minute video summarizing key findings, and emphasize sustainability's importance in architecture for climate change mitigation.
Chosen green building : Heriot-Watt University Malaysia

Reflection
TGC 1.1 : Think critically and creatively
​
Exploring environmental factors and passive design strategies for comfort highlighted the need to apply theories in practice. Understanding how theory translates into real-world solutions in architecture emphasized the importance of bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application.
TGC 1.3 : Understand professional practice within the field of study
​
As I delved into understanding building regulations and sustainability rating tools while relating environmental design considerations with local authorities, I realized the significance of grasping professional practice within the field of study. This experience highlighted the crucial role that regulatory frameworks play in architecture and emphasized the importance of navigating them effectively to implement sustainable design principles.
