According to some trusted source i got during the weekend hangout with friends, UBBL will have an amendment on implementing stringent U Value and OTTV design on heat load calculation and hence that will impact the whole industry as a whole.
Standing on contractor's point of view that means higher cost on C&S side on roof insulation and glasses will be a result of cost increment. While for M&E side, with better roof insulation and glazing glasses, that means lower heat load, smaller cooling equipment size, cables, plant room, etc etc.
So, still a win-win ? Will this a kick-start of government enforcement towards green design ? Let's see....
Is still not yet gazetted, only Selangor at the moment
