Many developers in the Philippines have focused on incorporating environmentally-friendly features into their projects. This is a step in the right direction but Federal Land wants to take this trend even further. The homebuilder continues to focus on sustainability by adopting new innovations. Here are three ways the developer is making it happen at its projects.
1) Bigger windows
Larger windows allow for more natural light to enter into residential units. This means there is less of a need for artificial lighting, which can reduce electricity usage. Projects such as Grand Hyatt Manila Residences South Tower have been equipped with 100 percent glazed windows that allow light in but reduce the transmission of solar heat.

2) LED Lighting
LED lights last 35,000 to 100,000 operating hours longer than the traditional incandescent and fluorescent lights. What’s more, they consume up to 90 percent less energy while not being hot over a sustained period of usage. That significantly reduces the chance of a fire starting. Federal Land uses LED lighting in its developments to ensure residents can enjoy total peace of mind.
3) Cool building materials
Federal Land is now utilizing cutting-edge building materials that offer the best in sustainability. Among the most notable technologies to be adopted by the developer is the cool roof system. This technology reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat than standard dark roofs, keeping homes cooler during the day.
The Grand Midori Ortigas is one of the projects Federal Land has implemented the cool roof system at. Residents will be less dependent upon air conditioners which require large amounts of electricity to operate. The technology also combats the heat island effect on the community and adjusts the overall heat index.
Federal Land innovations allow for a healthy lifestyle
Reducing the environmental impact of residential projects is obviously the most prominent benefit, but far from the only one. Those living at these developments are provided with a better overall living experience. Residential projects featuring sustainable innovations, such as the ones from Federal Land, promote a healthy lifestyle that can be more affordable to live in.
