Figure 6 shows the BEI reading can be reduced
to 113 when the ‘with cost’ and ‘without cost’

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, to achieve the Government’s
objective of reducing 40% of carbon dioxide
emissions by 2020, all parties within the
Government, agencies and the staff themselves
must take on their respective roles and
responsibilities in order to save energy in
Government buildings.
In designing new buildings, the designer’s
role should first emphasize the passive systems
followed by the active systems. Passive systems
such as the exterior of a building or “building
envelope” protect the building from direct solar
heat that permeates into the building. Good
passive systems in building design will lead to
a reduction in the use of electricity in the active
systems. For example, the use of air-conditioning
can be reduced when the direct heat to the
