As such, the eco-friendly design place this development in higher regards over similar competitors. It could be speculated that in the future, developments that carries the green badge will be of higher value than those without.The added benefits of a eco-friendly development, is its ability to cost-reduction when it comes to energy usage. The additional features of rain water harvesting, coupled with efficient water fittings could potentially reduce water bill. Large window doors and windows along with transparent skylight ensures that sufficient natural light are able to pour through, illuminating the interiors thus reducing the need for artificial lighting. Breathe-able roofs ensure and Australian adjustable glass louvred windows ensures good air-circulation and ventilation rendering the home that much cooler. Furthermore, Ken Rimba features extensive landscaping in common areas, providing a sense of peace and serenity as well as fresh air and maintaining the temperature within. That coupled with the heat reflective paint which is used on the facade will effectively reduce a lot of heat.
