Bamboo metal roofing / Nur Azirah A. Rahman and Wan Nur Syazwani Wan Mohammad

Green campus is a program that incorporates environmental management and preservation into higher education institutions. Numerous studies have investigated higher education institutions’ efforts (i.e., 3R-reduce, reuse, and recycling, campus garden, energy and water management, green building construction materials, and transportation sustainability) to create a green campus. However, through analysis of green campuses, the innovation of existing roofing (i.e., metal) using green building construction materials (i.e., bamboo) with current technology is limited. As a result, the objective of this innovation project is to create improvement in the material of metal roofing while solving the problem that has been occurring in metal roofing in the Malaysian construction industry. Extensive literature reviews are conducted via various databases (i.e., Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct). Later, the simulation model using Google SketchUp was used to visualise the concepts and idea of Bamboo Metal Roofing. The findings revealed that the proposed Bamboo Metal Roofing has the potential to be marketed (i.e., local or international) due to its great benefits (i.e., less corrosion and leakage, strengthened structure strength, and fire resistance). Thus, it is hoped that the proposed Bamboo Metal Roofing would improve the existing metal and achieve the green campus program goal.
