Assessment
|
Construction Assessment Centre (CASC) is a unit under Centre for Quality Assurance and Certification (CQAC) mainly focuses on managing assessment program for both Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC) and Safety and Health Assessment System in Construction (SHASSIC) also for MyCREST and Sustainable INFRASTAR which are programs owned by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). |
|
QLASSIC
|
|
|
An independent assessment tool to measure and evaluate the workmanship quality of a building construction work based on Construction Industry Building (CIS 7: 2014 Quality Assessment System for Building Construction Works). It enables quality of workmanship in that project to be objectively measured through a scoring system. |
|
National Housing Policy (2018-2025) under Focus No.2 which is to emphasize QLASSIC Certification for all new public and private housing projects. |

MyCREST
|
MyCREST, or the Malaysian Carbon Reduction and Environmental Sustainability Tool, aims to guide, assist, quantify, hence reduce, the built environment’s impact in terms of reduced carbon emissions and environmental impact, while considering a more holistic life cycle view of the built environment. It also aims to integrate socio-economic considerations relating to the built environment and urban development. |
|
|
MyCrest essentially combine three basic tools to construct a “scoring plan” which is then used to assess a building for certification. Each tool is the basis of rating for each phase of the project. MyCREST awards different star rating to the different phases of a project and awards an overall star rating. In this way, all three phases of the project namely the Design, Construction and Operation & Maintenance are being assessed. The tools are: |
- MyCREST Scorecard
- MyCREST Carbon Calculator
- MyCREST Reference Guideline
|
|
|
- To integrate carbon assessment criteria and reduction strategies into the matrix of sustainability resulting in a combined sustainable assessment rating system for the built environment
- To provide a quantifiable carbon assessment within a holistic sustainable rating system by integrating and extending the present criteria into life-cycle-linked performances and parameters
- To extend the present green building assessment into life cycle impacts and its quantification
- To combine both carbon emission and sustainable performance factors into a combined criterion linked to the design, construction, commissioning, and operations of buildings
- To be in line with the aims of Low Carbon City Framework (LCCF) by Ministry of Energy, Green Technology, and Water (KeTTHA)
|
|
|
- To quantify the environmental impacts of the built environment in both carbon reduction and sustainable impact terms
- To ensure the best environmental practice according to global and local standards and targets
- To maintain and improve a database of impacts and best practice case studies to reduce carbon emissions in design and life cycle impacts
- To raise awareness of the life cycle impacts of the built environment and its components
- To balance robustness with ‘durability’ and practicality and ease of use
- To produce a tool flexible enough to be used by all stakeholders, consultants and contractors and for all building types and scenarios
- To balance long and short-term targets
- To balance environmental and 'human' socioeconomic issues
