Towards sustainable living

ACCORDING to a study in 2012, it is estimated that Asia will consume over 45% of the world‘s energy by the year 2030. Malaysia alone has been considered as one of the fastest growing countries in Southeast Asia along with Indonesia and the Philippines. With that in mind, Panasonic Systems Solutions Asia Pacific has invited developers in the region to collaborate on minimising the impact of climate change with smart building technologies for a better future.
GLOBAL CHALLENGE
Panasonic System Solutions Asia Pacific recently held a Developers Forum to enhance sustainable living by offering state-of-the-art housing solutions. Attended by 100 leading real estate developers, the forum served as a platform for industry knowledge sharing and networking. Part of the event’s aim is to build partnerships between Panasonic and real estate developers.
“We hope more real estate developers and partners can understand how Panasonic’s solutions can meet end-to-end requirements of developers through this event. The digital age has dramatically changed the way we live, and it looks set to also change the way we build. Buildings are immovable and inflexible assets with limitations in adapting to changing needs, but with smart building technology, building owners and operators will see improved operational efficiency, water and energy savings and a reduction in carbon footprint,” shared Panasonic Systems Solutions Asia Pacific executive vice-president Wilfred Wee.
A HOLISTIC SOLUTION
More than just a lifestyle company, Panasonic is moving forward by offering an integrated suite of products from home appliances, security, energy management systems and even infrastructure. Recognising the challenges faced by developers, the company has also fostered relationships with partnering developers to create new housing solutions.
As part of its portfolio, Panasonic showcased the example of a town in Japan, Fujisawa Sustainable and Smart Town (SST), featuring its capability of adopting viable and environmental-friendly solutions for everyday living. Home to over 1,000 households, the smart town demonstrates the full range of solutions that Panasonic offers in the development of smart cities with technology-centric applications from displays, surveillance, business communication system and even entertainment solutions.
The forum showcased Panasonic’s resolution to improve quality of life with four specific zones comprising of the Living Zone, Retail Zone, Infrastructure Zone and the PanaHome Zone. Most of the solutions have already been launched by Panasonic and is available in the market.
