1. SUSTAINABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

2. INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
achieving the present needs without affecting the ability of the future
generations to meet their own needs
by reducing the usage of energy and resources
in order to minimize the overall environmental impact during and after
the development.
Housing:
determines quality of people and places
Relationship between society and environment
Triple Bottom Line or Three-Legged Stool of Sustainbility

3. RM20 billion township
4,000 acres of land
History:
Formerly known as North Hummock Estate
Launched in 2004 by SP Setia Berhad
Since 2009, became most sought after
residential townships
In 2013, won World’s Best Master Plan
Development in FIABCI, held in Taichung,
Taiwan.
SETIA ALAM

4. MASTER PLAN

7. High frequency ballast T5 fluorescent and LED lighting
SP Setia HQ and Setia Alam Trefoil
Initially expensive
help building save up to 53% of power consumption
Much more durable and long lasting
Provides a more comfortable visual working environment for occupants
Motion sensors for lighting at less frequented areas such as filing rooms,
pantries, corridors, stores and meeting rooms
ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING

8. Setia City Mall Light Fountain

LED lighting
 Free from hazardous chemicals such as mercury and leads
which release toxins
• Made from diodes, boost resistance and higher durability
 Suitable
• Inconvenient or difficulty during replacement
 Provides a wider coverage of a consistent light pattern
• Improves vision and safety

9. Implemented in commercial buildings, schools, and upcoming
projects
Reduce dependence on main water
Clean but not drinkable, used for non-drinking purposes
Stored in cold water storage tank
Act as an alternative water supply
Taps installed with low fittings, reduce 50% water consumption
Urinals flush
RAINWATER HARVESTING

10. Used in various buildings
Air conditioning, power and data cabling uses this underfloor distribution
layout beneath a raised floor
Easy maintenance for cables
Cheap and easy reconfiguration of space
Shorter time to cool the room
Fan and refrigeration energy usage is lowered, overall cost reduced as
well as being eco-friendly
Has a task/ambient conditioning (TAC) system
More convenient for users as they can control the thermal conditions
