Cooler Days All The Way - Energy and Cost Savings Guaranteed!
After a rather prolonged dry spell, don’t you wish you had a cooler home but dread spending more money on electricity bills? Fret no more, as MONIER Malaysia has the solution for you.
In June this year, MONIER officially launched their Energy Efficient Roofing Solutions (E³) which can lower your home temperature up to 10°C and hence, significantly reducing your electricity costs up to 45%. This innovative technology is the first in Malaysia and Asia Pacific.
MONIER is the first roofing company to capture the green mega trend and supports the Green Building Index (GBI) in Malaysia. It is the world’s leading supplier of roofing materials for pitched roofs, roofing chimney & ventilation systems, operating in 46 countries with 152 production sites. MONIER strives to develop roofing solutions to match one of our country’s greatest objectives that is to preserve and protect our environment while offering a better living atmosphere.
According to Mr Benoit Hannaut, the Chief Executive Officer of MONIER Asia Pacific, “Our energy efficient roofing solutions are designed for a greener planet initiative worldwide and it is also in line with the Malaysian Government’s call for green technology to ensure sustainable development in order to enhance the quality of life.”
The E³ primarily consists of the MONIER CoolRoof and MONIER SolarRoof.
MONIER CoolRoof
This unique technology creates a natural airflow and heat transfers through the roof to provide a cool and comfortable home. It is a sustainable system to save energy, reduce electricity cost and protect the environment.
MONIER R&D teams in Malaysia and Europe have developed a state-of-the-art roof simulation software called Roof Physics which validates that MONIER CoolRoof can reduce the temperature of your home up to 10°C compared to the conventional roofs in our country. Homeowners will also see a reduction of up to 60% of air conditioning usage with a monthly savings of up to 30% in electricity bills. This is especially important now during these challenging times as everyone is more cost conscious.
MONIER SolarRoof
MONIER SolarRoof consists of MONIER Solar Water Heating Roof and MONIER Toplight.
MONIER SolarRoof converts the energy of the sun into hot water and provides natural sunlight to your homes with zero electricity needs. The solar water heating system reduces the use of electricity to heat water, which not only minimises the impact on the environment but also eliminates electrical hazards that are often associated with water heating apparatuses. Homeowners can now save up to 15% of water heating bills and storing up free hot water throughout the year. MONIER ensures you that their SolarRoof is designed and installed properly; leaving your roof leak free!
MONIER Toplight provides free natural skylight into your homes. What’s unique about Toplight is that it illuminates and directs natural sunlight into homes through the use of translucent roof tiles to minimise the dependence on artificial light and hence, saving on electricity usage. It is proven that it is 100% leak proof and one tile of MONIER Toplight is equivalent to a 75W bulb.
In conjunction with the launch of E³ , MONIER announced its “1 Roof for 1 Tree” corporate social responsibility programme in Malaysia where the campaign invites property developers in Malaysia who are going “green” by planting a tree with every MONIER E³ roofing system purchased.
That being said, this technology will certainly give us cooler days ahead and by tackling both the air-conditioning and water heater which contribute to most of the electricity consumption of our homes, energy and cost savings are guaranteed.
