companies’ commitment to environmental<br />

sustainability.<br />

Based on the planned design <strong>and</strong><br />

features, the owner can expect to enjoy<br />

greater energy savings <strong>and</strong>, possibly, to<br />

even earn a small income if the owner<br />

chooses to apply for the Feed in Tariff<br />

(FiT) programme. Introduced by our<br />

government in 2010, the programme<br />

compensates consumers of renewable<br />

energy who produce a surplus of electricity<br />

that can be used by the national<br />

grid.<br />

The amazing KiraTech tiles, which<br />

will be featured on the building’s exterior,<br />

helps to decompose pollutant gases<br />

(decomposition of NOx) <strong>and</strong> a 200sqM<br />

area of KiraTech tiles has been shown<br />

to be equivalent to the air cleaning<br />

capability of approximately of 14 poplar<br />

trees.<br />

Aside from its air-purifying<br />

function, the KiraTech tiles has selfcleaning<br />

capabilities for longer lasting<br />

<strong>and</strong> cleaner tiles, which translates into<br />

long-term maintenance cost savings.<br />

The construction of the show house<br />

at Sanctuary Ridge Kuala Lumpur<br />

City can be completed within six<br />

months through PanaHome’s building<br />

methodologies <strong>and</strong> design approaches,<br />

Malaysia is the second<br />

country that PanaHome<br />

has ventured into after Taiwan<br />

<strong>and</strong> we are very proud <strong>and</strong><br />

honoured to be one of their<br />

first partners in Malaysia.<br />

– Leo Tan, Director, Gasing Meridian Sdn Bhd.<br />

which has been successfully tested <strong>and</strong><br />

completed on their office located in the<br />

neighbourhood of Bangsar.<br />

Construction methods utilizing prefabrication<br />

technology (steel’s frame<br />

structure) ensure a consistent <strong>and</strong> high<br />

quality building while accomplishing<br />

shorter construction time relative to<br />

conventional methods.<br />

Also incorporated is the heat insulation<br />

technology to minimize heat<br />

transmission from the outside; the<br />

unique PanaHome PureTech (structured<br />

embedded ventilation system)<br />

supplies effective circulation of natural<br />

cool air to keep the internal living space<br />

naturally cool <strong>and</strong> clean hence reducing<br />

energy consumption.<br />

The PureTech system will eliminate<br />

contaminated indoor air without<br />

opening windows <strong>and</strong> this will assist<br />

in minimising pests from entering<br />

the home while enhancing security.<br />

The show house will also come with<br />

high-grade waterproofing features<br />

to overcome common water leakage<br />

problems faced by homes in tropical<br />

countries with frequent heavy rainfall.<br />

“With this joint venture, we hope<br />

that Sanctuary Ridge Kuala Lumpur<br />

City will become a benchmark for<br />

Malaysian eco-property development<br />

in the luxury segment,” said Tan.<br />

PanaHome <strong>and</strong> Gasing Meridian<br />

exhibited at the International <strong>Green</strong>tech<br />

& <strong>Eco</strong> Products Exhibition & Conference<br />

Malaysia (IGEM 2014) from Oct 16-19 at<br />

the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre<br />
