Start where you are
Tell us what you have, not which service you think you need
Most clients come to us with a building and a deadline, not a discipline. These are the four situations we are usually called into.
New development
Certification designed in from concept, before the massing is fixed.

Accredited across every scheme Malaysian projects are assessed against
These tools are not interchangeable. GreenRE is calibrated for Malaysian climate and practice; GBI carries weight with authorities; LEED and Green Mark matter when the audience is international; EDGE is often the right answer where the driver is green financing. Choosing the wrong one costs more than it saves, so we start there.

What we do
Five practices, one accountable team
Certification, reporting, energy, carbon and capability. Most engagements draw on more than one. A developer chasing a rating usually also needs the energy case to stand up, and a listed group preparing its first ISSB-aligned report usually finds the hard numbers are sitting in its buildings. We run all five in-house rather than handing you between firms.
Green Building Certification
We take projects from an initial feasibility view of what rating is realistically achievable, through design integration and documentation, to submission and award, across every scheme Malaysian projects are assessed against.
Sustainability Reporting
Reports that stand up to investor and regulator scrutiny, aligned to the frameworks your stakeholders actually assess you against and to Bursa Malaysia's enhanced sustainability disclosure requirements.
Energy Audit & Optimisation
We measure how your building actually performs, identify where energy and cost are being lost, and quantify what it takes to recover them, then verify the savings after the works are done.
Carbon & Net Zero
We build the emissions inventory first, then a decarbonisation pathway that is costed, sequenced and honest about what is achievable with today's grid.
Training & Capacity Building
Certification and reporting fail when the knowledge sits with one consultant. We build the capability inside your organisation so the standard holds after we leave.
Selected work
Buildings we took to certification
Every project here publishes its full criterion-level scorecard: points awarded against points available, including the credits where points were lost. You can judge the work before you engage us.

Menara KPKT achieves GreenRE Gold, a Malaysian first
ESD GreenTech supported Menara KPKT in becoming the first ministry building in Malaysia to achieve a GreenRE Gold rating under the ENRB v3.3 tool.
Leading sustainable building operations in the public sector
What GreenRE Gold looks like day to day in a 38-storey government building: district cooling, a BEI of 89.9 kWh/m²/year, and the discipline behind it.
Why a petrol station is harder to certify than a tower
At 1,640 m², PETRONAS Kuala Ketil had no floor area to spread credits across. Renewable energy took the full 20 of 20 and made Silver reachable.
