Sustainability is the major concern in today's world. In built
environment, it has tremendous significance. Housing, as its major
bulk, needs serious attention on all the three major pillars of
sustainability. Turning to the environmental aspects, there are
different active and passive design elements that can be
incorporated with housing. However, it varies from context to
context. This book tried to identify environmentally sustainable
elements of housing in the hot-humid climate in Malaysia through
extensive literature review. After that, it conducted field survey
to find out the affordable ones among them which could address the
big group of middle income people in the country. With that, the
study tried to find out the economic feasibility of those
environmentally sustainable elements. Categorizing them as
user-controlled and designer-controlled elements, results showed
that several user-controlled passive and active elements were not
affordable, though they had been highly regarded as sustainable
elements. At the end, the study highlighted the significance of
adding affordability to sustainability so that it can eventually
contribute to the biggest bulk in built environment.
