KUCHING: The authorities need to look at building regulations to ensure that all new housing, commercial and industrial buildings take into account the need to be energy efficient, especially in the tropical climate, social activist Datuk Seri Ang Soon said yesterday.
He said techniques for constructing efficient buildings were becoming well established, with well-known examples in Australia, such as the passive solar design apartments in Windsor, the "carbon neutral" Urbn Hotel in Shanghai, China that opened in 2008 and the American town of Greenburg, which was destroyed by a tornado in 2007 and rebuilt to high environmental standards incorporating solar panels and wind generators for energy self-sufficiency
