Meanwhile, the Green Energy Office (GEO) Building and Diamond Building can be categorised into Nearly ZEB, in which the Green Energy Office (GEO) Building and Diamond Building have recorded a reduction of 86% and 70% of their energy consumption, respectively. MIGHT plan to convert its operating building into a Net Zero Energy Building by 2025 using the Zero Capex business model. The proposed plan includes the existing initiative of a rooftop solar, the ongoing COLDGROW cooling system and future projects of car park solar, a new energy management system, installation of biogas reactor, battery energy storage system, fuel cell, indoor air quality management and rainwater harvesting. These projects are aimed to be completed in stages within five years.

Advancing Energy Revolution: MIGHT’s Net Zero Building Initiatives The Twelve Malaysia Plan (RMK12) has renewed Malaysia's efforts towards sustainable development. Malaysia reiterated its commitment to becoming a carbon-neutral country by 2050 under Theme 3: Advancing Sustainability. Based on emissions intensity in 2005, Malaysia's target is to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions intensity to GDP by up to 45% by 2030. A significant target is to achieve 31% renewable energy of total installed capacity by 2025. Malaysia's reliance on coal as a base load is currently one of the most significant impediments to achieving carbon neutrality. The Zero Energy Building Facilitation Program in Malaysia is governed by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA). Under SEDA, Zero Energy Building Facilitation Program, Zero Energy Building is further categorised into Ready Zero Energy Building, Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) and Net Zero Building (NZEB). The existing Zero Energy Buildings in Malaysia include the Green Energy Office (GEO) Building owned by the Malaysia Energy Center at Bangi, the Diamond Building of Energy Commission in Putrajaya, and the Low Energy Office (LEO) Building of the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTSA) which is also in Putrajaya. The Low Energy Office (LEO) Building has achieved Ready to go ZEB status which registered a 59% reduction in energy consumption.
MIGHT collaborated with GSPARX in installation of rooftop solar in 2021. The rooftop solar is a set of electricity generating solar panels mounted on a flat or inclined surface on the rooftop of a building. MIGHT’s rooftop solar is currently having a capacity of 100.44-kilowatt peak (kWp).
