In recent times we have heard a lot of talk on green vs brown buildings. But what is a green building? Is it merely about the carbon footprint or is it about being environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, and all the way to end of life demolition. We have Architects Hud Bakar and Roslan Razak of RSP KL in the studio with us to talk about all things green, Merdeka 118 Tower and EPF HQ.
