UNIVERSITY COLLEGE of Technology Sarawak (UCTS) is the culmination of the state of Sarawak’s vision in establishing a world-class institution of higher learning to spearhead the development and production of technical human resource for the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE). UCTS is committed to facilitating student access to an affordable world-class university education that nurtures creative and entrepreneurial leaders through a broad education in science and technology. Located in the town of Sibu, Sarawak in East Malaysia, one of the main gateways into SCORE, UCTS’ campus, when completed, will be equipped with the latest state-of-theart facilities to facilitate teaching, learning and research activities necessary in the production of graduates required by the industries within SCORE. UCTS will collaborate with Universiti
Kuala Lumpur, one of Malaysia’s leading technical university with over 18,000 students across the country, in areas like: automation & industrial maintenance; machine building & metal fabrication; product design & precision manufacturing; information technology; animation & multimedia; food technology, chemical & bioengineering; marine engineering; automobile engineering; aviation engineering; electrical, electronics & telecommunication; quality engineering & industrial logistics; medical & allied health sciences; business, entrepreneurship & Islamic finance; oil & gas; built environment; environmental design; civil engineering & construction management. The campus site which covers a total land area of approximately 96.98 acres is situated adjacent to the Old Sibu Airport Runway. It is in an elongated shape with an organic form. UCTS is envisaged to be the first university
Project Highlight to be rated under the “Green Building Index” certification. Key green features include: integrated photovoltaic panel which will generate electricity daily; advanced building envelope to minimise heat gain including low-emissive glass and insulated roofs; variable speed drive chilled with VAV system for the air conditioning system; rainwater harvesting and water recycling system, among others. In terms of design concept, the designers looked to the mighty Rejang river for inspiration. The large water body in front of the campus not only creates a sense of arrival by boat but also reminds visitors of how Sibu was created. Sibu is also known as a “timber town” and this is reflected in the “forest canopy” rooftop over the areas where students gather for social activities. The overall master plan adopts the shape of fern leaf ’s frond whose organic shape offers an excellent spatial planning idea. The central spine branches off to secondary corridors that connect to the various faculties leading to the individual classrooms much like the structure of the fern leaf. The UCTS campus is divided into six zones namely: public space; semi-public space; academic zones; recreational areas; private residential space; and the research & development areas. The public zone includes the Convocation Hall and Surau which are located at the main entrance. The Convocation Hall is located on the north-west end of the campus, fronting the feature lake with good landscaping view. Adequate parking spaces are provided to cater for higher vehicle volumes during peak season. The semi-public zone will be the ‘forest canopies’ for social interactions. The academic zone will be the faculties comprising the school of built environment, school of civil engineering, school of electrical

Shanghai Tower World’s second tallest building located in China.
10 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
Project Highlight
Shanghai Tower makes the list as world’s second tallest building Aurecon provided facade engineering design for the striking Shanghai Tower, which is now on the official Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s (CTBUH) “Current Tallest 20” list. SEVEN YEARS after construction began, Shanghai Tower has officially been completed, becoming China’s tallest skyscraper and the focal point of Shanghai’s skyline. To commemorate this milestone, Shanghai Tower has been added to the official CTBUH “Current Tallest 20” list, which presents the world’s tallest 20 buildings as recognised by the CTBUH’s Height Criteria. In addition, the tower has also achieved impressive sustainability credentials. At 632 metres high, Shanghai Tower is the world’s second tallest building, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It is also the world’s tallest double-skin building, with its distinctive helix-like facade. Global engineering consulting firm Aurecon provided facade engineering design for the striking building, working with US architectural firm Gensler to combine the complex façade with the structure and services systems. In addition to its work on the facade, Aurecon also collaborated with New York engineering consultancy, Cosentini Associates, to provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing design services, including materials selection and schematic and development design. The tower’s unique design comprises a circular central floor plate enveloped by a suspended outer skin, triangular in plan, twisting as it ascends. This feature was not only included for aesthetics, it also contributes to Shanghai Tower’s functionality and sustainability, greatly reducing wind load and enabling the easy capture of rainwater to be used in the building’s air conditioning and central heating system. Designed as an eco-building, the Shanghai Tower’s sustainable features took the US Green Building Council and the Chinese threestar Green Building rating and certification systems into account. The tower’s sustainability features include greywater recycling systems located at basement and mid-level to collect water for reuse; 15 3kW vertical axis wind turbines located on the roof to provide 157,500kWh of renewable electricity each year; two sets of natural gas turbines which generate electricity, chilled water and hot water, while reducing carbon dioxide by 49 per cent; as well as a 12-storey ‘sky garden’ created by the interstitial spaces in the form which act as environmental buffer zones and maximise the usage of the double skins. “Shanghai Tower is a landmark achievement – both in terms of size and sustainability – and we are incredibly proud to have been a part of its construction,” says Margaret Cao, country manager for Aurecon in China. “It’s exciting to finally see such a long, complex project come to fruition so that the people of Shanghai can begin to enjoy this building.” The landmark building will include offices, commercial space, a five-star hotel, exhibition and conference halls as well as recreational facilities. Aurecon provides engineering, management and specialist technical services for public and private sector clients globally. With an office network extending across 26 countries, Aurecon has been involved in projects in over 80 countries across Africa, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas, and employs around 7,500 people across 12 industry groups.

New convention centre provides a meeting place under the ‘rainforest trees’ Borneo Convention Centre Kuching in East Malaysia is designed with the theme “let’s meet under the trees” – a concept that most locals can relate to. AS THE first dedicated convention centre on the East Malaysian’s island of Borneo, the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) was designed to blend with it’s natural surroundings. A key element of this design strategy is it’s free flowing roof structure. The roof is shaped in the form of a “ririg” leaf, which in Iban language refers to the species phacelophrynium maximum. Ririg grows in abundance in Sarawak and due to its large leaves, is used by many indigenous tribes for wrapping rice and food. The roof canopy is supported by a series of exposed structural elements resembling the trunks and branches of rainforest trees. 12 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
At the tip of the roof canopy there is a stone collection pond, reminiscent of water drops falling off a ririg leaf after a torrential monsoon rain. The combination of function and design come together seamlessly in a form that is truly representative of Borneo island and it’s people. BCCK is located in Kuching, Sarawak, East Malaysia. Located eight kilometres from the city centre, the centre aims to organise and attract local and international concerts, events, exhibitions and conventions to Sarawak. Sited on a six hectare riverfront site, BCCK forms part of a new marina and tourism development on the ‘Isthmus Island’.
Construction began in June 2006 and was completed in October 2009. The actual cost of construction is about RM200 million. BCCK is designed on an east-west access to mitigate the effects of solar heat gain. It is also oriented to face Mecca and incorporates a Muslim prayer room. The building has a gross floor area of 36,500 square metres and the internal design offers complete flexibility with functional spaces able to be sub-divided into a variety of sizes and configurations for plenary sessions, exhibitions and banquets. The capacities in BCCK include 5,000 delegates in plenary, a 2,000 capacity banquet hall and 14 breakout meetings rooms. The
Project Highlight
largest pillar free exhibition space is 2,500 square metres. Parking spaces for 620 cars, 20 coaches and 180 motorbikes is provided in a combination of underground and open parking. In addition, BCCK provides supporting service areas including reception and prefunction assembly areas, a VIP lounge, administration offices, commercial kitchens capable of servicing 2,000 delegates and a public restaurant. Incorporated with the best of modern communication technology of the time, the centre is equipped with wireless internet access in public areas and provide simultaneous translation facilities in four languages. The core functional considerations of BCCK are flexible multi-function rooms and energy efficiency. This allows the centre to adapt to various user needs while being sensitive to nature and the environment. The design elements implemented to respond to functional requirements include: advanced traffic circulation and parking
studies; design of dense vegetation to cool ambient surface temperature of external carparks and driveways; extensive sun angle studies and modeling to minimise direct sunlight penetration on the 3,400-squaremetre curtain wall; expansion/spill-over space considerations (eg five-metre ceiling height for carparks at Level 1 to allow for additional exhibition space & roof cavity space for additional storage areas); acoustic testing

Decra® stone-coated metal roof tiles Lightweight, durable and sustainable AHI Roofing (Malaysia) Regional General Manager-Asia, Mr Robert Aaron talked to B&I team on Decra® brand and the company’s plans for the future. AHI ROOFING (MALAYSIA) is a wholly owned entity of Fletcher Building, a leading New Zealand based manufacturer and provider of construction related materials and services. AHI Roofing (Malaysia) operates under Fletcher Building’s international Roof Tile Group (RTG) and produces and distributes stone coated metal roof tiles (a high quality roofing material that is lightweight, sustainable and proven to withstand severe weather conditions) to markets across Asia and Africa from its facility in Nilai, Malaysia. It is a part of RTG’s broader plant and market network which together service over 120 countries across 4 continents under the brands “Decra® Roofing Systems” and “Gerard Roofing Systems”. Here on home soil, it has been a decade since AHI acquired Malaysian Roofing Industries Sdn Bhd (MRI) and upgraded the Nilai plant to support its regional growth in Japan, Southeast Asia and Africa. Recently, B&I talked to Regional General Manager-Asia, Mr Robert Aaron, about the company’s achievements and its plans for the future. B&I: By way of introduction to our readership, would you brief us on AHI Roofing’s history?
AHI Roofing (Malaysia) Regional General Manager-Asia, Mr Robert Aaron. 18 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
RA: It’s a bit of a long history that dates back almost 60 years now. The business was founded in New Zealand by Mr L J Fischer, the inventor of stone-coated metal rooftops, in 1957 and subsequently acquired by AHI (Alex Harvey Industries) in 1969. When Fletcher Building (Roof Tile Group) acquired AHI, the product was integrated into its (Fletcher’s)

business portfolio which, over time, has had a history of innovation and development. The business here in Malaysia began in 1985 when Fletcher provided a licensing agreement to a company called MRI - they built the facility that is currently at Nilai – under which they were entitled to produce and sell the Decra® brand in Malaysia. During that time, AHI in New Zealand was already exporting Decra products to Asia, including markets such as Japan. In 2005, Fletcher acquired MRI - since then we have been operating under the AHI Roofing entity in Malaysia, producing and distributing Decra® brand into Malaysia and other Asian markets. We also produce for several markets in Africa to support RTG’s growth there. RTG operates with ISO-accredited production in New Zealand, Malaysia, Hungary (Europe) and Corona, California (USA), supplying into markets across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas and New Zealand / Australia. In that context, RTG is the largest manufacturer of stone-coated metal roof tiles in the world and the only stone coated metal roof tile producer to have a multiple plant network with a truly global reach. As for AHI Roofing Malaysia, what’s interesting is that our production is almost
entirely destined for export outside of Malaysia. In the Asian context, Japan is a leading market for us, the Philippines is a growing market and we have footholds into many other regional markets. B&I: AHI Roofing’s flagship product Decra® Roofing Systems has been around for ages - what distinctive features set it apart from the others? RA: If you think about the traditional roofing market here in Malaysia or in the region, clay and concrete tiles are traditional “heavyweight construction” materials. Our product range falls into the “lightweight” category and by comparison can weigh 7 times less than other traditional materials. In other words for an equivalent area of roof coverage, our product would be lighter by a factor of 7. This offers architects, developers and homeowners a variety of benefits in terms of structural and cost advantages - roof trusses can be reduced to bear the same weight load, same for columns, foundations, etc. I think the more compelling advantage to the architect, developer or home owner is the aesthetics achieved from the flexibility of design offered by our product range. Our products are durable yet pliable, allowing
designers to integrate bolder aesthetic design elements (curves and angles for example) which would be difficult to achieve with more traditional materials. This advantage provides a unique opportunity for creativity and end design. In a d d i t i o n to e n h a n ce d d e s i g n opportunities, the performance of the product offers impressive advantages as well. The product itself and the nature in which it is fixed into place, is well suited to high intensity storm environments. Our system is proven to offer wind resistance of up to 193km per hour (120mph) in wind tests, making it very suitable for typhoon exposed markets and coastal regions. And its durable nature can help to reduce maintenance costs over the lifespan of the roof. These are some of the reasons our products are coveted in resort projects across the region, including here in Malaysia. For high intensity seismic areas, (e.g. Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia), there is a compelling argument to use our products because of their lightweight nature and the way they are fastened to the roof structure. This interlocking and horizontal fastening system can provide incremental structural integrity and a lighter load on the structural frame below. This differentiates the Decra® offer in our opinion. B&I: What of the ‘desired’ roof pitch for Decra®? RA: We perform best when roof pitches are 15° or higher - we can go to 12° for some profiles. And we back our performance Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz 19
Special Feature with warranties of up to 50-years, which is significant. This is another compelling reason for the end user to adopt our system - confidence that their choice will last them a lifetime. B&I: What about rainwater ingress/leaks, how does Decra® perform? RA: Again, because it is an interlocking system with a unique installation method/ treatment, we are leakproof when installed correctly (to the manufacturer’s specification). Another key consideration for homeowners is noise transmission, especially with the intensity of rain in the region. We have commissioned formal field tests on in situ homes by independent third party testing agency and have achieved a reading in their “comfortable” zone category (the categories are “silent”, “comfortable” and “other”). Our stone chip coating acts as a natural noise transmission dampener and allows us to achieve levels within the required tolerance of the testing standard. B&I: You qualified your comment with “if properly installed”. Does AHI have a team of trained installers? RA: Part of the important service that we provide is being affiliated with competent roofers and installers trained by our own technical department. Homeowners can call on these trained installers or opt to approach our distributors directly, many of whom can offer a supply and install service. When feasible, we will support projects with installation inspection service as well. B&I: What are some of the landmark projects in Malaysia, and the region, for that matter, where Decra® Roofing Systems are installed? RA: We have supplied some landmark projects, for example, Shangri La’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, Penang, Awana Kijal, the Seremban Syariah High Court and Government/JKR projects (e.g., Cultural Palace extension and Mahkamah Alor Gajah) and recent private residential projects (for example S P Setia Eco Glades, Cyberjaya). We are seeing increased interest for our products/ system among architects and developers because of the benefits it offers in design, durable performance and product lifespan as demonstrated through our 50-year warranty. 20 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz

In the region, we have established strong relationships with national homebuilders in both Japan and increasingly in the growing market of the Philippines. In the Japanese construction sector, lightweight construction methods are favoured, so we believe we have an exciting potential for growth in that market. As construction methods continue to evolve across other markets in Asia, we also believe growth prospects are strong. Lightweight materials contribute to more effective and efficient construction, providing opportunities to improve areas such as construction speed, on site management (7 times lighter also translates to significantly less pallets of products for equivalent roof coverage optimising site storage requirements) and supply chain and logistics management (transport, distribution and handling opportunities). These offer real efficiencies for developers and general contractors. B&I: Projects in Philippines and Japan, are these new or renovation projects? RA: We operate in both segments of the market although in Japan, new-build construction is actually on the decline as the population there contracts. In the renovation segment, we offer the Japanese market a lightweight solution which can be installed over an existing roof, which in the case of Japan, is supported by a sub-deck (platform). This is more cost and time effective, not to mention less disruptive for a family living in the home during a roof renovation. Here in Malaysia, you must either place battens on top of the existing roof or replace it entirely - in either scenario, re-roofing is an attractive market for us and an interesting option for homeowners. B&I: Where do you stand with GBI as a sustainable green product?
RA: We are committed to manufacturing a sustainable product and being made of steel, Decra® products are durable, long-lasting and recyclable at the end of their useful life. We are listed in Green Pages Malaysia by MGBC (Malaysia Green Building Confederation) as a sustainable green product. B&I: Going with what the construction industry has to offer, how do you see the market potential in Malaysia for Decra® Roofing Systems? RA: I think there is a huge potential in the roofing sector in Malaysia where, for now, we have a small market share. Generally speaking, metal roofing or metal roof tiles are not as commonly accepted as clay and concrete but we are now getting feedback during product presentations to architects and developers, that the benefits we talk about resonate with them the advantages of lightweight construction, the durability of our product, the design flexibility etc. These characteristics are catching people’s attention. We believe we provide a unique product and system whose attributes differentiate it from other offers. This makes us excited about the future for us here in Malaysia, the Asia region and globally. We have backed this confidence in growth with a recent expansion at our Nilai facility, investing in a new warehouse and container loading yard - a sizable investment that will also allow us the flexibility to expand production capacity in the future as our growth ambitions are met. In the interim, we have the benefit of a RTG network of manufacturing facilities from which we can service our markets as required. Q

WTW Property Market Report 2016 Outlook for various sectors in the ensuing year. IT IS A carry-over from the preceding year – the gloom, that is, though not the doom. Whereas 2015 was a time for caution in a slow, albeit price-resilient, property market, the prognosis for 2016 by C.H. WIlliams, Talhar and Wong (WTW) is that, even for the tough, the going will get tougher and, in the final reckoning, it is the fittest that will survive. The overall sentiment is that the market will remain “flat”, in consequence of falling crude oil prices and commodities, the depreciating Ringgit, under-performing services sector, increasing cost of living, sluggish global economy, etc. Property developers, in general, are keeping prices up by strategically launching smaller number of units, lamentably, “beyond the affordability of first-timer buyers.” Economic Considerations Tabled in October last, Budget 2016 had based oil revenues on crude prices at a “conservative” USD 48 per barrel. At this writing, however, a “recalibration” of Budget 2016 is imminent (scheduled for 28 January 2016) following further dips in crude oil prices, now wavering at USD 30 per barrel. For now, indications are that “minor” cuts are on the cards - in operating expenditure and the shelving of non-priority development projects. Priority projects, e.g., Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail would go ahead, per the 11th Malaysia Plan. Whilst a modest GDP growth of 4.5% had been earlier forecast for 2016 (likely to be trimmed, come 28 January), domestic demand will remain the main driver of growth. Facilitated by Government infrastructure initiatives, private sector participation and FDI (Foreign Direct Investment), the manufacturing and industrial sectors are expected to expand. Overview by Region Against the above backdrop of economic fundamentals, the WTW take on the property market focused on three regions, namely, North (Penang), South (Johor Bahru) and Central (Klang Valley): Penang s Despite general weaker market/business sentiments, “no notable decline” in prices/realised rentals as property owners hold out; land reclamation projects (32.76 acres Light Waterfront Penang and 891 acres Seri Tanjung Pinang Phase 2) opens up new areas for development. State Government raised net household income cap to “render affordable housing more accessible.” s Landed residential is still the preferred choice, especially in Seberang Prai - with transactions for 2½-storey and 3-storey semi-detached houses fetching more than RM2.0 and RM3.0 million, respectively. s Slower growth expected for high-rise residential as more affordable flats/apartments being launched/under construction; bulk of existing apartments/condominiums in northeast sector of the island whilst more being developed and launched in Butterworth/Bukit Mertajam; accordingly, spike in supply 22 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz

Mining machinery sector optimistic about future With an increased in customers enquiries reported, machinery manufacturers hope bauma 2016 marks a turnaround in sales for the industry. THE MINING ASSOCIATION, affiliated in the German Engineering Federation, the VDMA, is again reporting falling sales. Nevertheless, it is optimistic that 2017 will bring a return to profit. As regards the global market, too, the analysts are expecting things to improve in 2016 and 2017. One reason for the cautious optimism is bauma, which takes place from April 11 to 17, 2016 in Munich. Experience shows that many customers delay purchasing decisions until bauma, where they can first get an overview of the world market offering. Also as regards to the rising number of customer enquiries, bauma is coming at a good time—an upturn would certainly do the sector a lot of good. In 2014, worldwide exports of mining machinery were around €27.929 billion (2013: €31.087 bn), which is a fall of 10.2 percent. The biggest exporting nation, when it comes to mining machinery, was the US, with €7.694 bn (2013: €8.364 bn). The only country to report a rise in exports was China, where the figures rose from €3.940 bn to €4.071 bn. Singapore was in third place in the statistics for exporting nations, with €3.098 bn (€3.468 bn), because of its high volume of transshipments of mining machinery in Southeast Asia. The US thus 24 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
has a 27.5 percent share of world exports of mining machinery, China has 14.6 percent and Singapore 11.1 percent, followed by Germany with 7.0 percent. In Germany, in the current year, machinery and plant worth €3.62 bn is being built. That’s three percent less than in the previous year. At least this reflects a much lower annual drop in sales, especially in view of the figures for 2014, when sales fell 29 percent as compared to 2013. For 2016, Dr Michael Schulte Strathaus, Chairman of the Mining Association, fears that sales will “probably fall further, also by a single-figure percentage”. With an export share of 94 percent, the sector expects sales of only €0.21 bn (- 7.8 percent) on the German domestic market this year, as compared to €3.41 bn (- 2.7 percent) abroad. Most of the exports (17 percent) go to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, and here Saudi-Arabia is the single biggest market, at almost nine percent. “Together with Iran, governments there want to reduce their dependency on oil,” says Schulte Strathaus, adding: “Mining is being developed as an additional mainstay.” The second-largest region for sales of German mining machinery is Latin America, which accounts

for 11 percent, followed by China with eight percent, the US with seven percent and Russia with approximately five percent. In the medium term, the sector is cautiously optimistic about the future, with increase in customer enquiries being reported - an indication that customers are again starting to look at buying new equipment. Also some companies are successfully opening up new areas of business, for example in hard-rock mining. The VDMA Mining Association expects that demand for the metallic but also mineral raw materials extracted in hard-rock mining will increase substantially as a result of a global expansion in alternative methods of energy production. Another reason for this cautious optimism, says Schulte Strathaus, is in the need for raw material producers to reduce costs: “In order to achieve profits in the current low-price environment, they have to increase the efficiency of their machinery and plant, and thereby reduce their costs.” A global trend towards increasing safety also benefits the sector, he reports. Many countries, like China and Turkey, are busy making their coal mines safer. And

as regards to the technology required for this, the German mining industry - at least in underground mining - Germany is the global leader. The sector seems therefore to be regaining optimism in time for bauma in Munich, and that is also being backed up by the registrations coming in from exhibitors in this area. Mareile Kästner, Exhibition Director of bauma, explains: “The current
difficult situation in the sector is not being reflected in the registration figures for exhibitors at bauma. The interest from mining companies and manufacturers of mining products in exhibiting at bauma is still very high.” A list of all the exhibitors registered so far for the mining section is available online at http://exhibitors.bauma. de/en/exhibitors-products/mining (correct to December 2015).

ICONS: Malaysian Architects Global Acclaim Showcase of 28 “stellar” projects by Malaysian architects; Eco-architect extraordinaire Kenneth Yeang on eco-design. TAKING CENTRE STAGE at ICONS: Malaysian Architects Global Acclaim, a month-long exhibition held at University Malaya from 1 - 31 December 2015 are notables of international repute, whose contributions to the field of architecture and design have been nothing less than exemplary, if not outstanding. Organised by the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment, University of Malaya (FBEUM), in collaboration with Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM) and Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM), and in conjunction with the Construction Industry Development Board’s (CIDB) 20th anniversary, the event showcased the achievements of Malaysian architects whose works have earned global acclaim and accolades. These latter includes the ASEAN Energy Award, UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation, ARCASIA Awards for Architecture, SIA Architectural Design Awards and other similar prestigious awards between 1995 and 2015. 26 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
As well as 28 “stellar” projects by Malaysian architects, the exhibition’s agenda, along with conservation, sustainable green buildings and timber structures, also included a complementary programme of talks by pillars of the profession in Malaysia such as Dato’ Dr Ar Ken Yeang of T.R. Hamzah & Yeang, Ar Hijjas Kasturi of Hijjas Kasturi Associates Sdn Bhd and Ar Sonny Chan of CSYA Pte Ltd. Amongst these icons, eco-architect extraordinaire, author and more, Dato’ Dr Ar Ken Yeang, of T.R. Hamzah & Yeang Sdn Bhd, named by the Guardian, UK as “one of the 50 people who could save the planet”, presented on ‘Eco-architecture and Ecomasterplanning: Key ideas that drive our work’.
“I think buildings should imitate ecological systems….no waste to materials used in an ecological system....the waste of one organism becomes the food for another and everything’s recycled whereas in our human built environment there’s a throughput system. We use something then we throw it away. We have to try to re-use everything we make or recycle them - when we cannot re-use or recycle them we should try to re-integrate them back into the natural environment.” Dato’ Dr Ar Kenneth Yeang
Eco-Design with Yeang Nature is in peril and the eco-system, its biological and physical constituents, which is irreplaceable, is under siege by human activity. Environmental problems would not
exist at all but for the callousness of modern society, from Man’s predatory relationship with nature. ‘Everything we do is upsetting the eco-system and Nature in its pristine state is being fragmented by urbanisation,
News & Events infrastructure development, etc.,’ lamented Yeang. What we will be bequeathing to future generations is a world that is polluted with enormous constructed artefacts that are estranged from nature. “We have to build in harmony with nature, not simply to retard the present rate of environmental impairment, but to eliminate it entirely�, to bring nature back into the built environment. Ecoarchitecture is designing in such a way that the human-built environment or our design system “integrates benignly and seamlessly with the natural environment.� It is about designing human-made artefacts in the context of site characteristics (location), its ecological features and integrating at three levels, namely, physically, systemically and temporally: s Physical integration - of the location, its topography, ground water, hydrology, vegetation and the different species on the site. s Systemic integration - of human “processes�, i.e., use of water, energy, waste, sewers, etc., and nature, to ensure no pollution and no waste. s Temporal integration - of the rate of use of resources and replenishment thereof. To this end, Yeang advocates that the platform for green design or eco-designing is the integration of four basic components or ecoinfrastructures (colour-coded in parenthesis): s Eco-technology/Engineering (grey), “which we need (indispensable) to maintain our standard of living�, encompassing concerns and issues in energy system, clean technology, renewable energy, smart grid/IT network, transportation systems, waste management systems, carbon neutral, recycling; s Water Management (blue), “what life is all about�, i.e., rainwater harvesting, “closing the loop�, grey and black water re-use, acquifier recharge, sustainable drainage, constructed wetlands and wastewater treatment; s Nature’s Utilities (green), “what you cannot see but it’s there�, opportunities and options in resource conservation, ecological corridors, reconnecting nature, rehabilitation, habitat creation, biodiversity; s Human Behavioural patterns (red), “laws have to change because we cannot live the way we have been doing for the last 100 to 200 years�, with the focus on lifestyles, activities, economic systems, industries zero impact, regulations/legislations, mobility/ transport concepts, penalties/incentives, materials/enclosures, products/food. With any of the four components/infrastructures as a starting point, green design, the Yeang approach, when looking at a site, is to look at latitude, “where we are at� and its diversity, two factors to ICONS: MALAYSIAN ARCHITECTS GLOBAL ACCLAIM SPONSORS Platinum: CIDB Malaysia Pertubahan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) Azko Nobel (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, DML Products Sdn Bhd Beneton Properties Sdn Bhd C.I.S Network Sdn Bhd Feruni Ceramiche Sdn Bhd Sika Kimia Sdn Bhd Bronze: NS Bluescope Lysaght Malaysia Sdn Bhd Roca Malaysia Sdn Bhd Canon Marketing Sdn Bhd

consider before start of design - different regions of the earth have different ecology, being more intense in tropics than higher or lower latitudes. For example, in a master plan project in India, next to a forest reserve, ‘the first thing we did was to create a spine between the development and the reserve and collect all the species to stretch across the site. Then we laid the other infrastructures, the red, the grey and the blue - “closing the loop� in water management where grey water and black water is recycled with construction of wetlands.’ Citing projects successfully undertaken at home (DiGi Technology Operations Centre) and abroad (Solaris Singapore and SOMA Masterplan India), Yeang illustrated examples of eco-structures, i.e.: s ECO BRIDGES TO LINK WHEREVER WHENEVER NATURE IS DISCONNECTED e.g., the green infrastructure ‘bifurcated by roads and highways – vegetating bridges so that the species can move from one disparate piece of land to the other and becomes one single habitat, integrating the four eco-infrastructures into the single whole. s VERTICAL URBANISM OR URBAN DESIGN OF hPARKS IN THE SKYv WITH ecologically-linked vegetated pedestrian walkways/ramps weaving up from ground level to sky gardens and winding down to basements to create “eco-cells.� In the final reckoning, he concluded. ‘as human beings, we have to change our diet, the way we move, live and play’; a suggested idea is the 7-minute community, i.e., time taken for residents to access facilities in a city by walking, cycling, electric carts, medium public transport. It discourages the use of private cars, reduces energy consumption and pollution to make a healthier environment something to ponder when planning the city. Q

18th Malaysia Strategic Outlook Conference 2016 Organised by the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute, prominent panellists shared insights on the economic outlook for Malaysia in 2016. AGAINST A BACKDROP of rising costs (living/doing business), depreciated Ringgit, weak oil and commodity prices, moderate property market, uncertainties in domestic politics and external factors (China slowdown, threat of terrorism, fledging world economy, etc.), what is in store for Malaysia in 2016 and after? How will the Malaysian economy fare and will there be sustainable growth? How will the global and regional scenario impact on Malaysian business? What steps, if any, should we strategise so as not to stagnate, or worst, regress in our quest for high-income status by 2020? These posers, earlier addressed at the recent 27th ASEAN and related Summits, were taken up again/reviewed at the 18th Malaysia Strategic Outlook Conference 2016 organised by the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (ASLI).

Notwithstanding the general consensus that Malaysia’s economic fundamentals still remain robust (World Bank projects a 4.5% GDP growth for 2016 and 2017, driven by domestic demand), with (economic) transformation programme on track, some concerns highlighted were: s need for structural reforms to be deepened to “improve public sector performance, accelerate human capital development and re-engineer economic growth” s potential markets provided by AEC and TPPA? s lacklustre, though stable, property market plagued by rising costs (land, building materials, etc.) - demand for affordable housing (very much on the

Seminar on Strata Management Act 2015 Industry experts addressed issues and implications in day-long seminar organised by the Building Management Association of Malaysia (BMAM). ALTHOUGH GAZETTED ON 8 February 2013, the Strata Management Act (SMA) 2013 and its governing Strata Management (Maintenance and Management) Regulations (SMR) 2015, finally came into effect on 1 June 2015, under the auspices of the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government. Ostensibly to do away with the Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) 2007, the SMA and SMR serve to provide clear-cut steps in the sales, purchase and management of stratified properties and, at the same time, safeguard the interests of owners of said properties. Accordingly, a framework is now in existence for the establishment of a joint management body (JMB), management corporation (MC), a subsidiary MC, rights and responsibilities of owners and the appointment of a Commissioner of Buildings (COB) to administer the new legislation. Strata Management Seminar However, implementation of the SMA and 34 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
SMR has, inadvertently, served up a number of unforeseen issues – administrative, operational and legal – with impact significant enough to warrant review and, more importantly, resolution. Hence the daylong Strata Management Seminar, organised by the Building Management Association of Malaysia (BMAM), where industry experts sounded out on precautions to be taken and pitfalls to avoid in the building, management and maintenance of stratified properties. Some concerns brought up at the Seminar, themed “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”, included: s Section 6 (1) (a) and (b) – of the 13 sections or stages in the housing development process – mandates the filing of complete/final plans of schedule of parcels (showing proposed share units of each or proposed parcel and total share units of all parcels) to the COB before the sale of any parcel. In the case of phased developments, provisional plans, for subsequent phases, also to be submitted, i.e., total project submission.

This “envisages” that plans, schedule of parcels or share units cannot be amended/changed without penalties. Impractical to disallow amendments/ changes in parcels - the reality is that minor ones need to be done from viewpoint of “architecture, engineering, aesthetics, constructability, site constraints, availability of materials, etc.” This problem is further compounded in the case of mixed developments comprising apartments, retail outlets, offices, etc. “Overkill”, in the liabilities for noncompliance or negligence, to the tune of thousands of Ringgit or jail terms or both.

University College of Technology Sarawak (UCTS).
LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM® roofing solution used for state-of-the-art university in Sibu Tasked with materialising the futuristic design of University College of Technology Sarawak, NS BlueScope Lysaght meets the challenge with LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM®. SINCE ITS INCEPTION as an educational institution in September 2013, the University College of Technology Sarawak (UCTS) has garnered much praise as an environmentally sustainable structure as well as an architecture marvel even before its completion. As the first university in Malaysia to be awarded the Green Building Index (GBI) Platinum Index, UCTS campus is a futuristically designed campus with an intent to reflect the characteristics of the town of Sibu. Seeing that Sibu is known as a ‘forest town’, the architecture of UCTS was carefully constructed to reflect the environmental state of Sarawak itself. Amongst the most striking features of the structure is the entrance of the university with a circular pool of water, designed to pay tribute to the powerful river of Rejang, the cradle of Sibu. As the first university in Malaysia to attain a GBI Platinum status, the inception of UCTS was also properly constructed with considerations to: (i) Cost-effective construction; (ii) Limited energy consumption; (iii) Consideration of user comfort; (iv) Rain water harvesting and water recycling; (v) Reduced volatile particle emissions; (vi) Solar power generation; and, (vii) High thermal performance rating. 38 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
NS BlueScope Lysaght products utilised on UCTS Working closely with Mr Stephen Ho from Aki Media, NS BlueScope Lysaght Sarawak was tasked to achieve the challenging feat of materialising the architect’s state-of-the-art roofing design. This was not an impossible feat as NS BlueScope Lysaght has the most suitable products with the right specification and features to achieve the design requirements. Through constant discussions between architect, Lysaght’s technical team, highly skilled roll-on-site workers and installers, the astonishing task was completed successfully, meeting the architect’s Sound Transmission Class requirements without compromising quality and safety standards of NS BlueScope Lysaght.

LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM® roofing for Rainforest Canopy. It was notable that, unlike the conventional approach of “fabricate in the factory and transport to the construction site”, most of the LYSAGHT® KLIP40 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
LOK® 406 roofing installed in UCTS was roll formed on site. This is a dedicated step taken by NS BlueScope Lysaght to reduce the carbon footprints generated from transporting the roofing sheet to the construction site.
Situated at the Rainforest Canopy Area is the Oculus, serving as an elliptical cone to collect rainwater, and the Clamshell, is designed to produce an effect of a vast waterfall gushing into a pond below. The beautiful 3-dimensional curve effect requires each piece of the roofing sheet to be customised and rolled on the construction site with precise measurement of the cross sections of each piece of roofing sheet in term of curvature, length and width, made possible with LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM® concealed fastened roofing system, and was also a true testament to Lysaght’s skills and machine capabilities. The LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM® roof system has been proven as the best choice for either straight curved, tapered or even curved tapered roof designs, for both vertical and inclined applications. Made from BlueScope’s CLEAN COLORBOND® Steel imbued with a stunning, metallic sheen and colour tones that blends beautifully into the cityscape or tropical environment, it is also highly resistant to dirt, fungal growth and staining as well as stronger corrosion resistance compared to galvanised steel. The roofing solution also provides excellent durability against weathering and paint delamination, perfect for long-term colour stability and long-lasting aesthetic beauty. Apart from UCTS campus, proud adopters of the outstanding innovation of the LYSAGHT® 360 SEAM®, are structures such as Putrajaya Waterfront in Malaysia and Esplanade-Theatres on the Bay in Singapore, and the upcoming iconic landmark in Malacca: the Malaysian Academy of Han Studies.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION is fundamentally the bedrock of modern architecture and design, i.e., that the shape of a building or object should be based upon its intended purpose. The very same principle that spurred siblings and craftsmen Franz and Carlo Zambelli Sopalu, both expert plumbers and experienced in tin-coating, specialising in building construction and renovation of church roofs, to design and innovate and set up the Zambelli Company in 1957. Primarily, a craftsman‘s establishment, it has evolved, two generations on, into an internationally-active industrial enterprise in the metalworking sector with more than 800 employees at nine locations in six countries. Zambelli RIB-ROOF GmbH & Co. KG is an integral part of the Group, with a track record of over 30 years in manufacturing and over 15 million m² of roof surfacing as one of Europe´s leading metal roofing producers. 44 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz

Monier® Roof Solutions 100% Leakproof Monier® roof system is durable and 100% leakproof. Even with rain falls aplenty in Malaysia, house owners do not need to worry about leaky ceilings and wet floors. Additionally, concrete actually gains in strength over time as they get harder through further carbonization by absorbing CO2. This gives concrete tiles an edge over other types of roofing in terms of durability and longer lifespan. Monier’s roof tiles are made to prevent fungus and algae growth on the surface. They are not easily damaged and allow walkability. Low Noise The natural properties of concrete tiles provide outstanding acoustic performance for quieter indoor environment. The mass of the tile body and the batten system absorb sound waves, helping home owners to save on heavy investment for huge insulation. What’s more, the sounds from rain, wind or street traffic are less noticeable with a
concrete-tiled roof, which translates to more uninterrupted sleeps in a peaceful ambience. Superior Heat Reflection Monier® Horizon™ 8 Roof System effectively reflects radiant heat and has higher residual heat dissipation which prevents large buildup of residual heat to ensure residents a cooler indoor environment and maximum comfort of living. The surface materials for roof tiles, underlay and passive heat removal design applied for this roof system remove excess heat through self-ventilation. Monier® Horizon™ 8 Roof System is the ideal and environmental friendly roof system for low pitched roof. It’s competitive price and high performance also give your wallet a run for its money. Monier’s complete roof system is available at all major cities and towns nationwide.

Hansgrohe’s Talis Select technology Pleasure at the click of a button Mixer and shower manufacturer Hansgrohe introduces Talis mixer collection with EcoSmart technology. WITH ITS NEW mixer range Talis Select, the mixer and shower manufacturer Hansgrohe introduces its popular Select technology to basin mixers for washbowls. The flow of water is turned on and off by clicking the Select button instead of using a conventional lever. This is useful, for instance, if you have soapy hands – you can simply use the back of your hand or your lower arm and your mixer stays clean. Hansgrohe’s Talis Select technology is purely mechanical and works by means of a specially developed cartridge. It controls water temperature and turns the flow of water on and off by turning the valve. This added convenience requires no electricity or other devices in the base cabinet. The mixer collection was created in close collaboration with Hansgrohe’s longstanding partner Phoenix Design. Talis Select is available in two versions: with a flat spout or a round, conical spout. The aesthetic appeal of the range lies in its clean lines and the seamless transition of the spout to the mixer body. Intuitive controls make handling easy. Now, thanks to the introduction of the Talis Select range, the entire bathroom – from showerheads, thermostats to basin mixers – can be equipped with Hansgrohe Select products. Talis conserves water The entire Talis mixer range features Hansgrohe’s EcoSmart technology. With the help of an aerator, the flow of water is limited to about five litres per minute – without sacrificing comfort. The water is enriched with air, creating a soft, voluminous water jet. But what is more, you can save water quickly and easily by simply pressing the convenient Select button which stops the flow of water. Talis mixers are also available with the CoolStart function: when the handle is set to the middle position, only cold water flows from the tap. For hot water, the handle must be turned to the left. This technology makes sure that the pipes are not needlessly filled with warm water and 50 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz

Casino in Canada gets new design makeover with an aquatic theme Sid Lee Architecture in partnership with FCSD architecture + design tackles the revitalisation of Casino du Lac-Leamy in Gatineau. Photos by: Stéphane Bruger WISHING TO reinvigorate its image and position itself as an essential player on the entertainment scene, Société des casinos du Québec commissioned Sid Lee Architecture and FCSD architecture + design to lead an intervention strategy at Casino du LacLeamy in Gatineau, Québec, Canada. The casino presented major organisational challenges: its interior spaces were cluttered and undistinguished, producing a confusing and unwelcoming result, devoid of hierarchy or landmarks. The re-design therefore aimed to bring coherence to the space; open perspectives to better connect the spaces and identify their functions. An aquatic theme was naturally chosen to develop a unique identity for the casino, located on the shores of a lake and surrounded by water. “The main staircase was brought to the middle of the central space, among the
game tables and machines, while connecting to the restaurants and discotheques on the upper floors. Designed as a beacon visible from all around the casino, the stairs are dressed with a unique carapace composed of 595 backlit metal scales declined into 94 different models, reminiscent of fish skin and its changing reflections. An iconic architectural element, it centralises all visual perspectives and asserts the space’s identity”, explains Martin Leblanc, architect and partner at Sid Lee Architecture. The project was carried out in close collaboration with Lightemotion for an immersive lighting installation and with Trizart-Alliance for the multi-media segment. Founded in 2009, Sid Lee Architecture is the fruit of architects and urban designers Jean Pelland and Martin Leblanc. Operating on a global scale from its Montreal offices,
Sid Lee Architecture gathers more than 35 architects, technicians, designers, managers, and artisans offering services in urban studies, architecture, interior design, strategic development and positioning, brand integration, and signage – for cultural, residential, institutional, recreational, and corporate projects.

The Mellier at Mayfair by Studio Mackereth
58 Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz
Design Feature
Former 1930s car showroom transforms into modern apartments Interior designer Studio Mackereth re-creates The Mellier apartments in the posh neighbourhood of downtown London. BEHIND THE building’s handsome BeauxArts facade in the heart of Mayfair, London, The Mellier includes five voluminous lateral modern apartments and one unique penthouse overlooking the rooftops of London. Formerly a Buick car showroom in the 1930s, the building has been refurbished in 2015 by Eric Parry Architects with Studio Mackereth appointed as interior designer for each of the apartments and the lobby—this includes sourcing all fabrics, rugs, lamps, contemporary as well as vintage furniture and works-of-art. A free-standing folding walnut screen ‘Albemarle’ has been designed specially for this project. These lateral apartments benefit from a real sense of scale with spectacular ceiling heights, elegant proportions and dramatic use of light. The client’s brief was to take a brave step away from the usual bland beige
formulaic interiors of most speculative residential property developments. In response, the designer’s approach was to create luxurious apartment interiors that epitomise Modern Mayfair: bold colourful spaces that flow, settings that are dramatic without being overly formal, effortlessly stylish and unashamedly contemporary homes. “It was important that the prospective buyers walk in and can immediately imagine themselves living here. In order to create this sense of home we sourced vintage as well as contemporary pieces from all over Europe to create a story, as if the home had evolved over time rather than the bling-yet-lifeless look of most speculative show homes. We carefully curated a library and also briefed a florist on our overall vision so as to reinforce this sense of a real home,” says Sally Mackereth of Studio
Mackereth. “Is it gorgeous? Sure. Would I like to live there? Yes, please. It’s borderline perfect,” writes Giles Hattersley in The Sunday Times. The Mellier is the winner of the World Interior News Award 2015 for the category of Residential Development Interiors. Studio Mackereth’s principal Sally Mackereth was recently featured as one of the six best architects in London by The Daily Telegraph’s online magazine Luxury. Mackereth studied architecture at The Architectural Association in London, and has gone on to teach the subject at the prestigious Royal College of Art. After working with renowned architects like Piers Gough and Stanton Williams, she established her own practice in 1995.

Design Feature
Restaurant in Old Montréal gets Mediterranean makeover Designer BlazysGérard adds Greek accents to the interior of Ikanos Restaurant. Photos by: Jean Longpré IKANOS, AN OLD Montreal restaurant with Mediterranean flair, is located along McGill Street in Montréal, Canada. For his new Mediterranean-styled restaurant, the owner chose an imposing space in an old warehouse that had more recently served as an artist’s studio. He appointed designer Blazysgérard to take on the challenge of crafting a strong identity for the restaurant. The concept is based on a re-interpretation of the characteristic architecture of Greece and neighbouring countries. The goal was to develop an architectural language that would meet the client’s requirements while remaining consistent with the theme, without becoming a mere pastiche or stage set. Designers Alexandre Blazys and Benoit Gérard approached the problem from a fresh, modern angle. The bar sets the tone with a blackened steel arch, antique mirrors
and deep blue bar stools. By installing a constellation of smoked globe lights of varying sizes, the designers sought to echo the Mediterranean sky. Wood and leather banquettes structure the restaurant’s space and different zones. They help maximise the restaurant’s capacity while giving guests excellent views of Old Montreal outside the restaurant. The wood and seagrass chairs are accented with sheepskin, giving the space a playful feminine touch. Meanwhile, the designers approached the ceiling as an infinite pergola made of suspended wood planks. Spaced at regular intervals, the planks generate an interesting interplay of shadow and light on the brick and straw paper walls. Lights and service conduits are concealed above the planks, giving the space a warm, intimate character and a more human scale. Lighting at the base of the
partitions is concealed inside steel mouldings, creating a visual horizon for guests. The placement of the kitchen in the basement made it possible to consolidate all technical services on the left side of the building. The kitchen is a major technical achievement in its own right. Faced with the need to run an enormous exhaust conduit across four levels, including a huge elbow behind the bar, the designers turned the constraint to their advantage by making the conduit the focal point and unifying element of the bar. Alexandre Blazys and Benoit Gérard joined forces in 2003 to form Blazysgérard, a Montreal design and architecture studio. Their mission is to create balanced, functional environments at a human scale. More information at www.blazysgerard.com Building & Investment | www.b-i.biz 61

Du Tour Residence

Transforming an old home’s interior into a contemporary living space Architecture Open Form & FX Studio par Clairoux takes on the challenge of turning a mid-20th century residence into a modern space. THE DU TOUR Residence is a renovation project in Laval, Québec, Canada. Designed by an architect in the 1960s, it has belonged to the same family for decades. The designers’ challenge was to transform the home’s interior into a contemporary space without losing its soul and the memories associated with it. In collaboration with interior design firm FX Studio par Clairoux, the concept was developed by highlighting the stretched building’s “prairie style” architecture and re-introducing the use of natural wood. In addition, the openings on the south side were enlarged on both levels in order to offer, in the heart of the living area, impressive views of the river and the surrounding natural area. To complement the building’s stretched width, attention was paid to movement within the space, the perspectives it offered and its distinct horizontal volumes. Some
existing elements, including the huge central chimney of natural stone, were conserved to preserve the essence of the family home. Light materials and pale, nuanced colours were used to enhance the quality and volume of the space. The stretched building is underlined by terraces at each end that are covered by the continuous wooden roof. The first, to the northeast, overlooks a small stream flowing into Rivière des Prairies. Connected to the kitchen and dining room, it has become a place of meditation at breakfast time. At the other end, more than 110 feet away, the second terrace faces south and is connected to the gym and sauna, which are in the basement. It houses an outdoor kitchen, a fireplace, a dining room, a relaxation area and a spa. Enclosed by its roof, its cedar shutters and vegetation, it has
become a haven of peace. The mix of stone, masonry and wood in the transformation of the terrace is very much in the style of the original house. To enhance the warm feeling of its cedar ceiling, the existing steel structure was replaced by a structure of solid cedar. Cedar posts and screens with insertions of stained cedar unite the wood ceiling and the ceramic floor. Founded in 2008 by architects Maxime Moreau and Maurice Martel, Architecture Open Form strives to promote innovation in architecture and landscapes through built projects, critical research, exhibitions and writings. Each project begins by listening attentively to the needs of the client and extensive research.

Creative designer transforms a garden flat into a ‘villa’ Designer ROHD goes all out to turn a flat in the posh neighbourhood of Rabieh, Lebanon, into a luxurious dwelling. HAV I N G T H E v i s u a l a p p e a l a n d sophistication of a villa, this ground floor garden flat is an eye-catching trompe l’oeil that draws from interior architecture master tricks that command—besides the inevitable amazement—scrutiny. Roland Helou Design (ROHD) is behind the interior design marvel for this flat whose intriguing design will delightfully bemuse even the most philistine eye. ROHD is a Beirut-based (Lebanon) interior architecture and multi-disciplinary design studio that rests on the aesthetic sensibility and design expertise of Roland Helou, a master graduate of the University of the Arts London. The garden flat has no dull corners or any detail left to whims or spontaneity. Everything is thought-out and even the silent spaces are studied.

couple, the garden flat stretches across 300 sq metres of ground floor space in a building located in Rabieh, Beirut’s most affluent suburb, nested on a hillside to the north of the city. Seamlessly blending with a quaint outdoor garden, the flat appears like a villa. This result is achieved through clever execution of curtain glass and a terrace serving dual usage: annexed living space in winter and an extension of the garden in summer. Luxurious fittings abound, such as the Onyx marble and black lacquered wood lit bar that protrudes to the outdoor area, serving as an organic connection along with the large curtain glass doors. Another impressive piece is the black basalt built-in chimney of the main living room. Made of volcanic stones, it radiates a distinctive blend of elegance and dominance, like that of the central jewel of a

Let’s Green Our Living Environment Zepher comes with 5 years pro-rata warranty for its solar module and motor.
Zepher is the 1st high-powered solar heat extraction roof ventilator in Malaysia. It draws hot air and moisture from the roof space and discharges them out of the roof. Radiant heat from the roof material heats up the air beneath resulting in a hot roof which can reach up to 70oC and can easily seep part of it into your home interior. By using Zepher solar heat extraction roof ventilator in combination with Lama KOOL@ROOF, it is possible to reduce indoor temperature from 5oC up to 15oC. The highest consumption for electricity at home is Air Conditioning!!! Therefore, a cooler house should be your main priority if you intend to save on electricity. The table below shows an estimation of energy consumption for normal home appliances. The below wattage are approximate

Air Conditioning 1 HP

Air Conditioning 1.5 HP
3490W
Analysis: Presume that a house has 2 × 1hp unit and 1 × 1.5hp unit air conditioners. The two smaller 1hp units are in the bedroom and are used for 6 hours a day and the larger 1.5hp unit is used for 4 hours a day. Total Watts used would be: 2550 W × 2 units x 6 hrs = 30600 W/hr
30.6 kWh per day × 30 days = 918 kWh/month
3490 W × 1 unit x 4 hrs = 13960 W/hr
13.96 kWh per day × 30 days = 418 kWh/month
Total cooling energy per month
918 kWh + 418 kWh = 1336 kWh
If you save 5% in electricity for cooling, savings of 66.8kWh per month 1 kWh = RM0.218 to RM0.516 depending on the block pro-rata electricity rate. Total savings = RM15 – RM35 per month or RM180 – RM420 per year. This is based on a mere 5% electricity saving on air conditioning alone!
Apart from electricity saving, other savings such as the lifespan expectancy of home and contents, air conditioning maintenance costs and health benefits have not been considered here. Zepher is able to stabilise temperatures by ensuring sufficient frequency or air volume exchange. Where a lot of moisture and humidity is present, the life expectancy of many items in the house will be affected. Zepher is a very effective tool in extracting air together with moisture out of the house, factory, warehouse or office. Zepher can be installed on concrete roofing tiles and clay tiles for residential or metal roofing for industrial use.
