Sustainable residential low density urban development: integrating sustainable consciousness with commercial viability
This paper will discuss the present integration of sustainable features in a self-contained residential development in the growing urban density in Malaysia - consisting of 36 units semi-detached and 4 units terrace houses – within the constraints of commercial viability of such a project.

This paper will discuss the present integration of sustainable features in a self-contained residential
development in the growing urban density in Malaysia - consisting of 36 units semi-detached and 4 units
terrace houses – within the constraints of commercial viability of such a project. The projects features the
layout planning for green-shared landscaped courtyard area, a rainwater harvesting system links all units for
landscaping needs, double brick walls for energy efficiency, heat reclaim system for hot water and roof
insulation for heat gain reduction. Each unit features a four-storey structure with a double frontage design,
foyer space in the 1st level. Dining, kitchen and living on the 2nd level. Bedrooms and a family room on the
3rd and 4th level. The focus includes the outcome of an evaluation of the energy efficiency impact of the
double cavity external wall and a heat reclaim system used in each unit in the development - where air
conditioning heat is reclaimed at night for hot water use in the morning. A solar shadowing impact of two
adjacent developments consisting of high-rise condominiums on the entire developments for different times
of the day were also done to ascertain roof surfaces which can be used for grid connected solar panels. The
paper presents an attempt by an ecological conscious developer to integrate green features – including
rainwater harvesting and communal strategies such as shared green space within the commercial and
resource constraints of a project. |
