PETALING JAYA: S P Setia Corporate Headquarters located in Setia Alam, Shah Alam clinched the Group’s seventh international FIABCI Prix d’ Excellence as the Gold winner of the Sustainable Development category.

The prestigious award ceremony was held in Panama City.

“It is such an honour for us to receive our seventh international FIABCI Prix d’ Excellence award especially in the sustainable development category, which is what Setia is all about, delivering eco developments as well as promoting sustainability for our future generations,” said President and chief executive director Datuk Khor Chap Jen in a statement.

S P Setia’s previous wins included Best Master Plan Developments for Setia Eco Park, Setia Eco Gardens and Setia Alam, Best Retail Development for Setia City Mall, Best Residential (Low-Rise) Development for Setia Eco Park.

The unique 28-acre park complex, Eco Greens at Setia Eco Gardens, previously took home the award for Best Purpose-Built/Specialised Project category.

Setia Corporate HQ pursued the highest achievable Green Building Index (GBI) rating, making it the first private sector owned corporate office to be accorded the GBI Platinum rating.
It is also the first corporate office in the integrated green commercial hub of Setia City at Setia Alam to be accorded a green building status by the Malaysia Green Building Confederation (MGBC).

Furthermore, 26.83% of the total net floor area (NFA) is controlled by motion sensors which further reduce total energy consumption by 3%.

The water efficient features include rainwater harvesting for landscape irrigation. The installation of low-flow fittings has cut water consumption by 50% compared to conventional fittings.

More than 20% of the total material cost are from regional materials that are manufactured within a 500 km radius of the site, thus reducing the energy required for transportation.
