    UniCITI Alam is a mixed development of commercial buildings and medium rise apartments. The whole development was designed based on the integration of student residential community with the combined commercial centre and temporary campus. The lecture rooms are located at the second floor of the triple-storey shop house. To improve the indoor environmental quality and comfortability of the teaching and learning activities, physical measurements of the indoor environment parameters (air temperature, relative humidity and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration) and light intensity are the main methods applied in the presented case study. Data collected will be compared with Malaysian Standard MS 1525: 2007 (Code of Practice on Energy Efficiency and Use of Renewable for Non Residential Building) and DOSH. The finding will be used for improving the environmental quality of the lecture rooms and enhancing the ecology circle.

    Fiber is one of the famous waste material in this country and fibre also can be used in order to increase the mechanical properties of concrete. Mechanical properties of concrete will be testing such compression strength and splitting tensile strength. Concrete has low tensile strength due to the brittleness properties. The coconut coir fibre processed by using the fabricated. Then the coconut coir fibre will be a sink in sodium hydroxide for 1 week and in pure water for 2 weeks at room temperature. The authorities that are already going through under treatment gave coconut coir fibre and it had been cut into a size of 25mm to 30mm. Three different ratios used in this research, which is 3%, 4% and 5% of coconut coir fibre as an additive to the concrete. There will be two types of specimens, which are cube size of 100mm x 100mm and cylinder 100mm diameter with 200mm length. All the samples cured in a water tank for 7 and 28days. The rate that had been using for this compression strength and splitting tensile strength follow the British Standard (BS 1881-116:1983). This research outcome is the addition of coconut coir fibre with concrete to increase the compression strength of the cube sample but it has lower strength than normal concrete. Meanwhile, for the splitting tensile strength of this reinforced concrete with coconut coir fibre as an additive has higher strength than normal concrete. The result proved that the addition of fibre will increase the mechanical properties of concrete but at the same time, it will decrease the workability of concrete.

    High Performance Concrete (HPC) has a few characteristics: high strength, high early strength, high modulus of elasticity, high durability and long life in severe environments, low permeability and diffusion, resistance to chemical attack, toughness and impact resistance and so on. Almost 70 to 80% of the volume of the concrete is occupied by aggregate which have a great impact on characteristics and properties of a concrete. Not only course aggregate but fine aggregate also contributes a lot toward the performance of HPC. Thus, this research studied on the influence of various sand gradations on mechanical properties and concrete quality of HPC. The sand gradation utilized in the study are normal size sand, sand passing through sieve size 1180µm, sand passing through sieve size 600µm and sand passing through sieve size 300µm. The mechanical properties of HPC being studied are compressive strength and splitting tensile strength while the concrete quality of HPC is determined by using water absorption and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) test. The results show that the mechanical properties and concrete quality increased as the size of sand particles decreased. The optimum sand gradation is the sand passing through sieve size 300µm which achieved highest mechanical properties and concrete quality showing the highest result of compressive strength (123.9MPa), splitting tensile strength (8.91N/mm2), lowest percentage of water absorption (0.55%) and highest UPV value (7743N/mm2).
