About Us

Formation of the Malaysian Green Building Confederation started in May 2007, when a group consultants, academia and representatives from the building industry met to initiate a non-profit making organisation to promote sustainable buildings in Malaysia. This group with increasing participants met several times during 2007 and 2008, and official registration of the Malaysian Green Building Confederation was initiated.

Later in 2008, the group was supported by the two professional organisations Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) and the Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia (ACEM), and by April 2009, the Malaysia Green Building Confederation was officially registered.
