Smart ceiling technology

Nowadays, Malaysia is an emerging and growing country that is still experiencing tremendous economic development. The construction industry is one of the most active sectors influencing the country's economic progress. Green Building in Malaysia is gaining popularity in the building industry due to its numerous benefits. However, Malaysia is seriously lagging in promoting green building in the construction industry. This report's research is to support the green building agenda in Malaysia by innovating a new technology that eliminates negative impacts and can create positive impacts. The ceiling element was chosen as a study topic because most ceiling elements utilized in buildings are not designed to minimize the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment. People overlook the capabilities of ceiling features that can preserve or improve the environment's quality of life. This report will assess and propose a solution to produce a product capable of meeting the sustainability viewpoint and the objective of a green campus. This study also has some objectives which are to review the current issue related to the ceiling element, to propose an innovative product to improve the current ceiling element, and to evaluate the marketability of the innovation product. In this research report, several studies had been conducted such as the goals of Sustainable Goal Development, green campus concept, and type of current ceiling used for student’s accommodation in UiTM Seri Iskandar. This research report is to innovate a new product technology by improving the abilities of the current ceiling element.
