The paper highlights the evolution of green and sustainable development in Malaysia by incorporating fiscal, institutional, legislative, and regulatory mechanisms into the country's national plan. The comprehensive review of the integration of green and sustainable approaches into current initiatives offers a holistic perspective on Malaysia's progress towards achieving sustainable development and becoming a climate-resilient nation.

For each case, the fragility curves are established through IDA for calculating the resilience and LCC, which incorporates the effects of complete or incomplete repair actions of damage conditions induced by multiple occurrences of previous hazard events. This study employs a well-known ‘NSGA II’ to identify the optimal set of solutions.

This study aims to establish the relative weightage of the SF criteria, and, to construct a ranking of the commonly employed flood mitigation alternatives within the context of coastal flood resilience. In pursuit of these goals, this research identifies SF criteria documented in existing literature and catalogs typically used coastal flood solutions. Then, the study surveys the professionals from the Department of Transportation (DOT) and leverages a multi-criteria decision-making approach to assess the responses and develop the intended ranking. The findings highlight that robustness is the highest weighted SF criteria and ecosystem restoration is the highest-ranked SF flood solution closely followed by green infrastructure (GI). These findings provide valuable insights for decision-makers of infrastructure development in coastal cities and support them to embrace SF design strategies for developing resilient built environments.KEYWORDS: Infrastructureresilienceflooddisaster managementSafe-to-fail Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementSome data and codes that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Additional informationNotes on contributorsRubaya RahatRubaya Rahat is a PhD candidate at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a Teaching/Research Assistant at Moss School of Construction, Sustainability and Infrastructure, Florida International University.

The hypothesis posits that solar panels on a roof reduce wind-induced forces on components and cladding. To test this hypothesis, we experimentally investigated a 1:7.5 scale model in an open-jet wind facility, considering cases of bare roof and roofs with PV panels in three different configurations. The findings indicate that PV panels offer varying benefits based on the wind direction angle, generally reducing total wind forces on the primary structure. The addition of solar panels yields wind load reductions of 45–63%, depending on the configuration and details of the solar panel system, implying that buildings may not require additional reinforcement for PV panels. The findings have significant implications for enhancing the design and installation of residential solar energy systems, promising a more sustainable and secure future amid climate change and extreme weather challenges.KEYWORDS: Solar energy systemsroof damagehurricanesresiliencesustainability AcknowledgmentsThis research was funded by Solar Alternatives, PosiGen, and the Gulf States Renewable Energy Industry Association (GSREIA).
