requirements as well as four million tonnes of carbon dioxide( CO 2
) equivalent reduction per year. Figure 18 indicates all the expected outcomes from each of the CITP strategic thrusts by year 2020.
Figure 19 introduces all the initiatives that have been developed in line with the four key strategic thrusts to ensure their expected outcomes can be successfully delivered via the CITP.
SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE CENTRE( MAMPAN)
Each of the four strategic thrusts has been equipped with relevant initiatives where the total number of the latter may vary in accordance with their expected outcome. For example, the productivity thrust has the highest number of initiatives created compared with other thrusts, including environmental sustainability even though it has only one expected outcome to be achieved at the end of the CITP in 2020 as indicated in Figure 18. The key reason for this extra emphasis is mainly due to low labour productivity in the construction sector as a result of its over reliance on foreign labour. Subsequently this depresses its productivity far lower than other sectors in Malaysia.
The amount of initiatives formed under the environmental sustainability thrust can also be

considered as substantial based on the proportion of the initiatives developed with the outcomes expected from the thrust. Out of the five initiatives created, Initiative E1 and Initiative E2, focus on preserving natural functions and ecosystems. They also aim at ensuring the availability of suitable sustainability rating tools in the Malaysian context, and make significant contribution towards achieving the fourth strategy highlighted in the 11 th Malaysia Plan;‘ Pursuing green growth for sustainability and resilience’.
In order to ensure successful attainment of these initiatives, the Sustainable Construction Excellence Centre( MAMPAN) has been introduced as the“ home” for driving sustainability in the construction industry in Malaysia. MAMPAN aims to spearhead the sustainability agenda within the industry by promoting and developing sustainable construction practices, which are able to enhance the volume of sustainable developments in the country. MAMPAN also aims to create benefits to the nation’ s socio-economic growth in terms of forming several value levers such as reducing the costs incurred from flood and natural disaster damage, which have a great tendency to occur throughout the year as well as minimising the lifecycle cost of projects in this country as shown in Figure 20. The value levers expected from the establishment of MAMPAN may also increase benefits from an extensive reduction in carbon emissions in addition to the enhancement of
