|
|
|
Sri
Lanka
Institute
of
Architects
(SLIA)
is
planning
to set
up
'Green
Building
Council
of Sri
Lanka'
with all
stakeholders
in the
construction
industry
to
improve
standards
of the
industry.
All
stakeholders
such as
engineers,
architects,
environmentalists,
planners
and
quantity
survey
consultants
will
participate
in the
Council
so that
there
will not
be
disparities
in the
quality
of the
construction
industry.
The
resources
are
being
used
unnecessarily
when we
could
use
daylight
for some
designs.
These
messages
should
be taken
to the
public
and make
them
aware to
take the
maximum
use of
limited
resources,
said Sri
Lanka
Institute
of
Architects
President,
Chandana
Edirisuriya.
The
majorities
of the
architects
are
aware of
the
green
concept
and has
shown
interest.
Energy
efficiency
is vital
in
construction
industry.
The
energy
efficiency
plan has
to be
included
at the
design
stage of
the
plan, he
added.
He said
to have
a growth
and
development;
any
industry
must be
able to
perform
individually.
Our
industry
is very
sensitive
to the
entire
internal
and
external
factors
in the
market.
During
the
global
economic
meltdown
the
impact
of it
reflected
on the
apartment
and the
tourism
industry
and we
are now
optimistic
about
the
future
of the
industry,
he
stated.
