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 />
