    There has been a great shift from the paradigm of the building industry in Asia over the past century with the economic boom in properties. Metropolises are boasting cutting-edge new buildings and preserving heritage buildings recognisable around the world. With the economic and escalation of cost in construction, materials and maintenance of buildings, there has been a significant growing interest in sustainable planning and building practices to support green and energy efficient cause. Buildings have now become the epitome of city life with important sociocultural implications, as for that the building and construction industry is booming and construction crews, developers, architects and engineers are being sent out to build a new building or to reconstruct a building to support energy efficiency and green cause.

    Asia in particular is the core site of rapid construction fuelled by economic growth for new buildings and renovation or restoration of existing buildings. The Asia construction business is booming and it has been 10 years since the Asian financial crisis, which left many developers bankrupt. The half – finished, multi million dollar condos and offices now know as distressed or ghost buildings are left behind and with the economy situation now, Asia is currently experiencing property boom whereby there are plenty of investors both local and foreign who is looking into reviving the development projects.

    Although buildings and construction has now become the symbol economic prosperity and technological advancement, concerns for the escalation of materials and construction cost has also grown. Further to that, building owners and developers are becoming aware with the paradigm of shift and social interest in going green, which is being practiced by many upcoming developments. As for that, many building owners and developers of new and existing buildings are looking into green initiatives, energy efficiency and retro – commissioning for old buildings to test and identify operating problems with existing facilities and systems, as well as opportunities for increased energy efficiency and reduced operating costs.
