The lecturer for this subject is Mariatul Liza. Total credit hours is 3.The assessment plan is divided into four components that are Individual Assignment, Project 1, Project 2 and TGC Portfolio. Each component except TGC Portfolio sums up assessment weightage to 100%.

For Individual Assignment, students are required to prepare a problem statement on current issue in housing development in Malaysia. For Project 1 and 2, which are group assignments, students in group of 3 are required to study a topic given, which consist of learning outcome 1, 2, 3 and 4. The assignment will require an assignment trip to selected site for necessary study. The aim is to allow the students to implement the theories and analysis tools learnt in the class.

At the end of the semester, I am able to explain the evolving environmental discussion as it applies to housing development and explain the legislative requirements for undertaking sustainable housing development and to apply the implications of sustainability principles in construction projects. Also, I can understand the appropriate assessment that can be used in the planning and monitoring at different stages of sustainable housing development.
