Green Technology The field of “Green technology” enclompasses a

continously evolving group of methods and

Materials, from techniques for generating enery for non-toxic cleaning products.

Example of ”Green technology” subject areas: Sustainable energy(development of alternative fuels, eg: solar energy, wind energy and etc.) Environment friendly products(those product are which give the environment the least impact.) Green chemistry (inventation, design and application of the chemical products to reduce or to eliminate generation of hazardous substances.)

However the Green technology is still to expensive to the market, it needs a higher cost to build a green technology building than a normal building. Hence, the price of the green technology materials also play an important role in developing this technology/.

INTERVIEW WITH THE DEVELOPER: MR. JERRY LAU HING KIET

Q: WHY DO YOU INVOLVE YOURSELF IN THIS INDUSTRY? AND BECOME A DEVELOPER?

L: I studied engineering and I like the construction and property development. Basically, the exciting part is when you look down at the piece of land, your mind begin to imagine what it can happen if I do something to it. It just like you study architecture, a piece of paper come out with something. That is on paper, you can erase you can change, but a developer, what you see and what you try cannot be erased That is my personal opinion on why i like to be in property development.

Q: How is your early life as a developer?

L: Of course it is a learning process. Early life you begin to play a smaller role that you understand then you expand your role so that you have a total picture like a helicopter view, from a piece of land what you can do, what are the requirement, what are the authorities. Early life probably we just taking care of how to get it build according to what it’s design for, and from there you learn more.what is the purpose, the function, what is the most practical way of deciding it. It is a learning process

Q: What is your view in green technology? L: Green technology is something that is upfront you have to put in much higher cost than the original building, so at the moment, the cost is already so high, that is why green technology building are not widely acceptable by customer. We can provide all these green technology, but then the consumer gonna pay for it.

ADVICE FROM MR. JERRY LAU HING KIET

“Sometimes, when you design something is not only what you like, but you have to design something that is needed in this community in this location and are they able to accept the concept yet or not” by MR Jerry Lau Hing Kiet Sometimes, design something is not only what you like, for example, some project that has advance design, youngster like it, but they cannot afford it, but parent object it because it is too advance for them. Research on what is needed in this community in that location and are they able to accept that concept should be consider first.
