What is it about?
Building sector has been identified as a major energy consumer with nearly half of the world's energy used is associated with providing environmental conditioning in buildings. Approximately, two third of this is for heating, cooling and mechanical ventilation. Therefore, there is a need for optimizing the building design which collaborates with surrounding environment in enhances the energy conservation programme.

Why is it important?
The study initial approach was to critically analyse the design of the selected buildings through scaled drawings and site visits. The elements of bioclimatic design were implemented as matrixes or criteria, particularly on natural ventilation and day lighting. As initial findings, the implementations of appropriate green building strategies is able to provide positive impacts to the overall energy performance of the residential colleges.
