One of the early key EE initiatives embarked upon in 2017 was the retrofit of the ACMV system of Subang Parade, which involved the replacement of inefficient chillers, pumps and cooling towers, as well as the installation of an automated and dynamic Building Management System. Prior to any energy efficiency initiatives Subang Parade utilized an average of 1,278,416.67 kWh per month for its electricity in 2016. From January 2018 Subang Parade has saved about 33.82 percent of its energy utilization, with an average savings of 432,320 kWh per month. Carbon emissions was reduced by 7.36 percent in 2017, and by 28.56 percent in 2018 after the chiller plant overhaul and replacement, which cost RM7 million. The mall also initiated an LED replacement program in early 2017 in line with its energy savings initiative, reducing the total consumption for illumination by 15.82 percent, from 317,072.88 watt to 266,908.40 watt.
Subang Parade’s management advocates waste management practices through the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principle, and has managed to reduce its monthly 85 tons of waste by providing recycling bins to aid customers and tenants in recycling waste. Subang Parade is also working with NGOs to promote an electronic-waste recycling campaign in its community.
