1.0 INTRODUCTION
The interior fit-out guide is written specifically for PETRONAS Twin Tower to encourage sustainable
option for any future interior renovations or fit-outs. The flow of interior fit-out guidelines has to be
ironed out through a number of strategies and actions to better manage the environmental impact
of carbon footprint. The guide will serve as recommendations for tenants and landlord in selecting
the materials and goods involved in any future retro-fitting works.
For the purpose of this IFOG, the proposed office building information is as below:
Office area (GFA) Total: ≈ 135,654
Conference (GFA) Total: ≈ 56,287
Café (GFA) Total: ≈ 8,847
2.0 OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this document is to foster the commitment in sustainability through the use of
environmental friendly products. Officials should employ sustainable practices when undertaking
procurement such as promoting reduced energy consumption and minimizing waste where possible.
The framework is essentially a tool for prescribing policy-making and management practices that will
incorporate sustainability into all aspects. Five principles of sustainable environmental management
underpin the program:
i. Integrating economic, environmental, social and human considerations in decision making
ii. Efficient and effective use of human and material resource
iii. Minimising waste and using environmentally, socially and economically viable substitutes
for scarce resources
iv. Preventing adverse impacts on the economy, environment social and human health
v. Conserving natural resources
Fit-out was to be designed using, wherever possible, materials, fixtures, appliances and furniture
that:
Contribute to energy and water conservation and efficiency
Designed for disassembly, resource recovery and diversion of materials from landfill at the
end of the product’s useful life
Stimulate market demand for products with recycled content
Demonstrate characteristic longevity as lifecycle of fit-out is expected to be at least 10 years

2.1 Terms and Definition
“Embodied Energy” is the energy consumed by all processes associated with production and
transport of a component from the acquisition of natural resources to product delivery. Relevant
processes include the manufacturing of materials and equipment used, transport of materials and
even administrative functions.
“Standby power” is energy consumed by a device when switch on but not operating, represents a
significant proportion of electrical equipment energy consumption.
“Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)” are organic chemicals that have a high vapour pressure at
ordinary, room-temperature conditions. It is said the VOCs are dangerous to human health or cause
harm to the environment.
“Energy Star” is an international labelling program that identifies and promotes energy efficient
products and practices.

3.0 FIT-OUT ELEMENTS
3.1 Electrical Appliances
The equipment discussed in this section is: lighting equipment, computer equipment, kitchen
appliances. Electrical and electronic equipment used in the fit-out were specified to be selected
based on high energy efficiency and where possible, waste minimisation. Energy efficiency was
proposed to be determined using the existing star rating systems, where possible in which
appliances received a high rating based on their level of efficiency compared to a conventional
model. It was also expected that all equipments are able to enter a low power mode following a
specified period of inactivity, thus reducing the energy consumption of the equipment.
Figure 1 Energy Efficient Appliances Logo
Lighting Equipment
T5 is recommended for office space as it has twice the life expectancy of standard T8 tubes as the
longer life expectancy reduces maintenance requirements. They are also smaller hence fewer
resources (such as glass, phosphor and mercury) are needed. The positive attributes of the
electronic ballasts used in the lighting system include: a 50% greater service life than standard
magnetic ballasts; approximately 20% greater energy efficiency; consequent lower energy draw of
lamps; flickering elimination; giving better quality lighting which can increase staff performance and
morale. Furthermore the entire lighting system emits less waste head than a standard type of
system, reducing air-conditioning load and associated energy costs.
The majority of highly efficient luminaries currently available on the market use a diffuser that is not
recessed or covered to provide the greatest light output for a given source which still meeting
relevant lighting quality standards. The use of this type of luminare could have reduced the number
of light fittings for the office space with no reduction in lighting quality. In addition to the energy
savings based on fewer light fittings and more efficient light generation, it is likely that the surface-
mounted fixtures would have required less capital cost than the recessed fixtures chosen.
If possible, for office perimeter space, the light fixtures are dimmable with photosensor-control.
With dimmable ballasts, lighting levels can be reduced to minimum requirements and thereby
improve the baseline energy efficiency of the system. Furthermore, dimming also extends the life of
the lamp, thereby reducing associated wastage.
5 | P a g e
Office Equipment
Opt for energy saving rated office appliances as they produce less energy compared to standard one.
The energy rating tool commonly found in Malaysia is Energy Star and Suruhanjaya Tenaga Energy
Efficient rating. Such rated office equipment has lower energy consumption and standby power. The
reduction in standby power will therefore result in significant energy savings over the lifetime of the
device. The advantage of such energy saving features (automatic entry into ‘low-power’ and/or ‘off’
modes after a period of inactivity) reduces a device’s annual electricity costs by over 60% in
comparison to conventional ones.
Encourage use of multifunctional device, capable of servicing the photocopying, printing, faxing and
scanning needs of the office. This will be sustainable choice, based on the minimisation of materials
and associated waste at end-of-life beside the economic savings. Double sided copying and printing
is recommended as the default option on printers to reduce paper usage and associated energy
savings.
LCD screens should be the default option as monitor for computers as it consumes significantly less
energy. Besides that, the LCD screens are constructed using less materials than conventional CRT
screens, therefore at the end of their life less waste is produced. A significant amount of material
from LCD screen can also be recycled. Electromagnetic fields generated by computer screens are
substantially lower than conventional CRTs. Furthermore, LCD screens generate less hear than
conventional CRT screens, thus indirectly reduce the cooling load.

3.2 Furniture
The item of furniture discussed in this report are workstations and associated components, chairs,
storage devices, partitions, pin-boards and recycling receptacles. One of the key aspects of the fit-
out brief in relation to furniture was the ability for furniture to be disassembled and/or reused.
Modular systems and mobile units is preferred to fixed joinery to facilitate subsequent removal and
reuse and avoid the need for destruction. Furthermore, the ability to easily disassemble components
often facilitates more efficient and effective recycling when reuse is no longer an option.
Workstations
Where possible, desk materials are reused to reduce material wastage. If there is a need to purchase
or replace existing one, the workstation should be lightweight, flexible and modular so it is easily
movable and not constrained. Go for low-emission materials option type for better air quality.
Locally manufactured workstation is preferred as it reduced transport costs and carbon footprints.
An easily installed and disassembled workstation will not only reduce number of components, it is
also more recyclable during end of life period. Use of upper transparent screen partition reduces
additional obstructions to natural light and also provides external view for office workers.
Level 54 of Tower 2 PETRONAS Twin Tower is currently undergoing renovations. All workstation
bought are of low partition and easily assembled through usage of screws rather than nails.
7 | P a g e
Chairs
Lightweight chairs are more ergonomic option as it uses less material. It sustainability also depends
whether is it made from any recycled content (pre and/or post consumer). However whenever
possible, opt for reuse of chairs instead of purchasing additional new one unless there is a need as it
will significantly reduce waste and material.
Cupboard, shelf and drawer units
Storage systems should be reused where possible. All new cupboard, shelf and drawers units to be
used are recommended to be from MDF (medium density fibreboard) material. Where possible, all
cupboard, shelf and drawer units are designed with physical dimensions in multiples of 300mm to
maximise the efficiency of material use, based on the fact the MDF is only available in sizes with
multiples of 300mm to prevent wastage. Furthermore, all cupboard, shelf and drawer units are
recommended to be moveable to facilitate reuse in future fit-outs and avoid the necessity for
demolition and associated wastage in these circumstances.
3.3 Fixtures
Numerous fixtures are considered during an office fit-out. The fixtures discussed in this section
include: flooring, wall partitions, kitchen fixtures, doors, toilet facilities and ceiling tiles
Flooring
Before any office fit-out began, office flooring need to be investigate to confirm whether
replacement is it needed. If minor repaired only is needed, then preferably try to refurbish it instead
of replace. For carpet, opt for those with recyclable contents. The probability of reuse and recycling
is enhanced through such sustainable carpet. Another cause of concern when installing new carpet is
the VOC and urea formaldehyde level. Make sure the carpet is low VOC and the glue used in the
installation are water based to prevent urea formaldehyde. The same option also goes if for tile type
flooring.
Wall Partitions
Avoid the use of plaster boards whenever possible as it is well known to be some of the largest
volumes of waste production in construction industry. Pre-fabricated, demountable partition
systems would be the best system used a fit-out as it minimize wastage. If not, opt for wall partition
system that is designed to facilitate removal for subsequent recycling and reuse of materials during
future refurbishment. For MDF wall partitions, all dimensions shall be in multiples of 300mm to
minimise wastage associated with the size of MDF sheets.
Kitchen Fixtures
Kitchen facilities should be located as close as possible to the water services infrastructure currently
servicing the office toilet facilities. This strategy is to minimise additional infrastructure
requirements, associated building works and materials wastage.
8 | P a g e
Doors
Wooden doors is superior to aluminium from a sustainability perspective, doe to its greater
longevity, its lower embodies energy and associated pollution and the greater likelihood of reuse,
given its easier workability. The wooden door shall be FSC and MTCC certified
Ceiling Tiles
Ceiling tiles contribute to a large proportion of construction-related waste. If existing ceiling are
acceptable, it should be retained. Any broken ceiling tiles will be either repaired or replaced as
required. Extension of the lifespan of reused materials represents better use of embodies energy
and reduced waste related issues.
High recycled content ceiling board should be the preferred option if there is any need to replace the
existing ceiling. High durability, high reflectivity and good acoustic type are also important factor for
selecting new ceiling tiles.
3.4 Other Materials
Many different building materials are required during retro-fitting of office space. Materials
classified in this section are: veneers and panelling products, insulation, paint, cabling and conduit,
plaster, adhesives and fasteners.
Insulation
Insulation is recommended for ceiling space above acoustic partition walls and within the walls if
possible. Recommended material for it can be wool or polyester. Opt for good STC (sound
transmission class) rating, non-toxic and with recycle content materials.
Paints and Coatings
Identified paint for fit-out should have low VOC content and local manufactured for sustainability.
Most paints in the market nowadays are water-based and have relatively low emissions. Tung oil
resin will be used for all timber finishes as it is a natural product, extracted from the nuts of the tung
tree compared to synthetic products normally used for timber finishing. This reduces VOC emissions.
Cabling and Conduit
All wiring outlet plates should be free from PVC to minimise out-gassing of toxic substances
associated and to take into account lifecycle issues in terms of production and disposal. All piping
sleeves should be made from metal or UPVC.
Plaster, Adhesives and Fasteners
As previously indicated, the use of plaster should be kept to minimum in the fit-out. Adhesive used
during renovations should be low VOC and no urea formaldehyde. Normally this is associated with
acrylic, water-based general purpose construction adhesive that is suitable for interior use with a
variety of porous construction materials. Usage of screws for majority of fixings will also help
9 | P a g e
promote the reuse of durable and sustainable materials used for any subsequent future
refurbishments.
The adhesives used for the renovations works at Level 54
Tower 2 are Polymer 900. It is used as carpet tile adhesive
and is registered under Singapore Green Labelling Scheme
(SGLS) hence it complies with below SEC pass requirements.
Test Report SEC pass requirements
Total VOC < 0.5 mg/m
Total aldehyde < 0.1 ppm
Formaldehyde < 0.05 ppm
4-phenylcylcohexan < 0.0065 mg/m³
Total phthalates Non detectable
Halogenated solvents Non detectable
Heavy metal Non detectable
Hence adhesives used for that floor renovation complies with EQ4 requirements which is low VOC
and urea formaldehyde free.
3.5 Environmental Quality
Air Quality
A high proportion of materials that normally used in fit-out emits potentially harmful gases, such as
VOCs and urea formaldehyde which may have short or/and long-term adverse health effects. These
gases are emitted by a wide array of products such as paints, building materials and furnishing, office
equipment such as copiers and printers, glues and adhesives. Hence all the items specified should be
low VOC level and urea formaldehyde free. Some of the symptoms that are associated with the
exposure of these gases include eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, visual
disorders and memory impairment which can have significant impact on the well-being and
productivity of staff.
Natural Lighting
Enclosed spaces such as closed offices and quiet rooms should be located nearer to the core area of
PETT to avoid blockage of natural light from windows perimeter area. Office space should be open-
plan design with glass upper screens being used for workstations. The office space therefore should
be designed to minimise obstructions to natural light and thereby increase natural light infiltration.
Other options to consider are reduction of workstation partition screen heights, more glass in wall
partitions of enclosed spaces and light coloured floor coverings.
