“…However, despite the novel establishment of BREEAM, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) released LEED, which has gained the most popularity among GB certification systems worldwide based on the number of countries that have adopted it and the number of projects certified (Doan et al 2017, Cascone 2023. Besides, Singapore's Building and Construction Authority (BCA) launched the Green Mark (GM) in 2005, the first GB rating system in Southeast Asia and the first rating tool for tropical climates (Ting 2012, Lai et al 2023.…”

Despite being established in Vietnam for over a decade, LOTUS has not achieved the same popularity as other international green building rating systems (GBRS), such as LEED and Singapore's Green Mark (GM). Consequently, concerns about its effectiveness persist. This study employed a systematic literature review to compare and analyse the effectiveness of LOTUS against LEED and GM rating systems. The findings revealed that LEED was the most widely adopted GBRS in Vietnam. While the primary criteria identified across all three systems were energy, water, materials, and indoor environment, the critical aspect of sustainability was environmental. Although GM placed a greater emphasis on sustainability and climate-responsive design, LEED and LOTUS prioritised site location. These results suggest that the late introduction and complexities surrounding the initial versions of LOTUS significantly contributed to its limited popularity in Vietnam. To enhance its effectiveness, this study recommends that the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC) increase its engagement with green building researchers and construction stakeholders both within and outside Vietnam, with the aim of simplifying its approach. A more user-friendly and streamlined version of LOTUS will likely encourage adoption by Vietnamese construction practitioners, thereby raising awareness of green building practices in Vietnam.

“…Most previous studies have shown that solar cells' performance varies with temperature changes [23]. Therefore, to determine the performance of all the three (3) types of PV module in this study (Monocrystalline/Polycrystalline /Thin film), the cell temperature was estimated using the NOCT-Standard formula as shown below [24], [25].…”

“…All the parameters of ref, βref and Tref are provided by the PV manufacturer [24]. Equation (3) can be used to determine the wind speed, where vw= 1 m/s is the local wind speed close to the module while vf is the wind speed measured 10 meters above the ground [24].…”

This study aims to analyse the effect of temperature and wind speed on the performance of different types of photovoltaic (PV) systems at a different state in Malaysia and how it affects the economics and environmental impact assessment in the present year of 2018 as well as future years in 2030 and 2040. Three types of grid-connected solar PV modules namely Mono-Crystalline, Poly-crystalline, and Thin Film were selected to be implemented in different cities of Shah Alam, Chuping, Alor Setar, Ipoh and Kota Kinabalu. A mathematical model was adopted to estimate the performance characteristics of the solar PV modules. Based on the data in the present year, the highest power output produced by the Mc-Si module for Alor Setar city is given by 33.40 MWh/year while the lowest amount of power output provided by this PV panel is about 28.18 MWh/year in Shah Alam. Furthermore, an area of 144 m2 for the Mono-Crystalline PV module can satisfy the total energy requirement by the resident as it was the most profitable to be implemented compared to Poly-crystalline and Thin Film. The findings of this study can serve as important information on the economic viability of installing PV systems in the selected cities in Malaysia.

“…The role of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) emerges as a critical tool in this context, distinguished from other approaches by its efficiency in simulation across various climatic conditions. By integrating CFD with complementary methodologies, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the energy and thermal performance of buildings, contributing to sustainable, energy-efficient, and occupant-friendly building practices in the Philippines [4].…”

This study presents a detailed investigation of the energy and thermal performance of buildings in the Philippines’ metropolitan cities, targeting sustainability and indoor comfort against the backdrop of the country’s tropical maritime climate. Utilizing a blend of occupant surveys, energy audits, climate data analysis, and building envelope assessments, the research employs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to accurately evaluate energy use and thermal behaviors in residential and commercial structures. Key findings include distinct nighttime energy consumption patterns in residential buildings and the identification of climatic challenges such as high temperatures and humidity. The study proposes effective design interventions like enhanced ventilation, shading solutions, and the integration of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) for improved thermal efficiency. Significantly, the research contributes to policy development by suggesting updates in building energy codes and advocating for energy-efficient practices. Overall, the study provides actionable insights for enhancing building sustainability and occupant comfort in urban Philippine settings.
