Formation of the Malaysia Green Building Council (formally known as Malaysia Green Building Confederation (MGBC) ) started in May 2007, when a group consultant, academia and representatives from the building industry met to initiate a non-profit making organisation to promote sustainable buildings in Malaysia. This group with increasing participants met several times during 2007 and 2008, and official registration of the Malaysia Green Building Council was initiated.
