Location: Selangor, Malaysia

The transformation of 90 acres of reserved land in Gamuda Cove into a Wetlands Arboretum is a commendable initiative that recognizes the importance of wetlands in preserving biodiversity and mitigating environmental challenges, such as flash floods and global warming. Wetlands are indeed rich in biodiversity and play a vital role in supporting numerous species and ecosystems.

The achievement of an EDGE Advanced certificate for the post-construction stage is a testament to its commitment to sustainability and resource efficiency. This certification reflects impressive accomplishments, including 100% energy savings, 85% water savings, and a 58% reduction in embodied energy in materials compared to conventional buildings. Sustainahaus' role as the EDGE Auditor for both the Preliminary and Post-construction stages underscores its expertise in guiding projects toward sustainable and environmentally responsible outcomes.
