ALTHOUGH there are numerous climate action dialogues organised throughout the country, green building is not a common topic to be discussed at all levels of government, on company boards and in non-profit organisations
THE upcoming Earth Day, on April 22, would be a golden opportunity for the government and the private sector to discuss an important method of reducing greenhouse gas emissions that is rarely brought up: green buildings.
According to the World Green Building Council, a “green” building is one that, in its design, construction or operation, reduces or eliminates negative impacts and can create a positive impact on our climate and natural environment.
Green building refers to both the structure as well as the application of processes that promote efficient use of energy, water and other resources while reducing the building’s impact on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition.
Known as Nature’s Capital City, Sunway City Iskandar Puteri lies on the riverine of the Pendas River and overlooks the Straits of Johor.
AS a master community developer, Sunway started its first project in township development over 40 years ago in the Klang Valley. Sunway City Kuala Lumpur was transformed from a mining wasteland into a thriving township of 200,000 and is now globally known as one of the best tourism destinations as well as a value-generating hub for the nation.
In Johor, Sunway Property started Sunway City Iskandar Puteri seven years ago, with the mission to plant a community seed in the township. The developer had plans to nurture and foster a vibrant community in Iskandar Malaysia through its largest township modelled after its successful flagship township Sunway City Kuala Lumpur and Sunway City Ipoh.
