Can rating systems actually drive the shift toward green architecture?
In short: This MIT OpenCourseWare session examines whether current green building indices provide enough incentive for developers to prioritize sustainability. It explores the tension between regulatory frameworks and the practicalities of urban development in Malaysia.
Instructor Shraddha Pandey evaluates the efficacy of existing green building indices and rating systems. The core of the discussion centers on whether these frameworks successfully motivate developers to move beyond compliance toward truly environmentally sustainable designs.
The lecture is part of the Malaysia Sustainable Cities Program (Spring 2016). It provides a critical look at how policy and certification can be leveraged to shape the future of urban planning in a developing context.
