A system of sustainable building construction materials incorporating the raised floor innovation – the Tasik Chini Research Centre experience
The Malaysian construction industry sector covers the aspects of the planning, design, conservation, demolition and repairing of various types of buildings and all types of mechanical and civil engineering works as well as other field work involved. It has attracted many researchers and most stud...

The Malaysian construction industry sector covers the aspects of the planning, design,
conservation, demolition and repairing of various types of buildings and all types of mechanical
and civil engineering works as well as other field work involved. It has attracted many researchers
and most studies that have been done on the construction industry revolved around the study of
technology as a design analysis. However, in reality it is still largely dependant on a conventional
system established decades ago. This paper intends to propose a system of sustainable
construction materials by redefining the traditional Malay architecture element of the raised floor
and its innovation with the Industrialised Building System (IBS). The paper will present experience
from Tasik Chini Research Centre of UKM as an alternative solution in providing a more significant
and comprehensive construction process, offering fast and efficient system using components or
materials that are sustainable. The development in itself incorporated the philosophy of or
treading the earth gently, a development aimed at reducing the impact on the environment by
lifting buildings from the ground. It complied with UNESCO development guidelines and the
Strategic Implementation Action Plan for Tasik Chini's Biosphere Reserves. The development
used traditional architectural principles as references and applied the many significant constructs
and variables that may influence development in a tropical setting. A raised floor architectural
concept was integrated with a structural system, thus providing a diverse range of functions. An
IBS systems was implemented with the use of structures, floor panels and modular walls using
low thermal mass (low thermal mass) materials, as well as green roofs with green concrete use
to prevent heat from sunlight. It proposes a new paradigm in architecture that includes
sustainability concern, technological simplicity as well as social aspiration and architectural
identity. The system is designed to incorporate many passive design principles and climatic
controls that combine with the use of IBS thus making it an efficient and easy-to-install system. |
