Synergy Group has officially kickstarted its Light Source in Darkness program in Selangor.
Through this program, residential buildings in Selangor can save up to 80 per cent in energy consumption with zero upfront costs.
Synergy Group and ODESI aim to facilitate the Selangor state government’s vision to make Selangor a more liveable smart, and green state by 2025.
Green initiative program in Selangor
Light Source in Darkness falls under Lembaga Perumahan dan Hartanah Selangor’s (LPHS) broader Green Initiative Program.
The program is supported by Selangor State Executive Councillor for Housing, Urban Wellbeing and Entrepreneurs Development Rodziah binti Ismail.
Rodziah attended a handshake ceremony last Sunday at Pangsapuri Salvia in Kota Damansara, the first condominium to install this project in Petaling Jaya.
The handshake ceremony was attended by LHPS, Nor Hanizan Bin Sahib, Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya’s (MBPJ) Jayanthi a/p Kuppusamy, Ahmad Faizan Bin Noordin from Pangsapuri Salvia Apartment Management Corporation, and representatives from Synergy Group and Odesi.
“Selangor takes pride in being one of the first states to drive an initiative for a greener future and generate savings for its people and strata buildings.
Rodziah urged all Joint Management Bodies and Management Corporations to participate in this program as they can enjoy saving at zero upfront cost.
We hope we will be seen as an exemplary state for our efforts and look forward to reaping the benefits”, said Rodziah.
“Apart from the savings already garnered from this program, the Petaling Jaya City Council adopted the Low Carbon Cities Framework,
“Offering home owners who have taken the initiative in making their homes greener and environmentally friendly to enjoy tax rebates.
“This scheme shares the same goals to ensure that Selangor becomes a low carbon emission Smart City by 2025”, added Jayanthi.
Energy saving initiative
The handshake ceremony started with a speech by Jayanthi and Rodziah and a tree planting ceremony.
Attendees buried a ten-year time capsule containing wishes from LPHS, MBPJ, Synergy and ODESI.
Synergy Group offers the most durable and patented LED lighting with a 10-year lifespan and saves up to 80 per cent more energy than other lights in the market.
It guarantees performance that minimizes product replacement costs and maximizes savings.
Synergy Group capitalized on RM400 million in Green Building and Life Fund to implement the program.
The energy saving is equivalent to over 3,700,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions reduced and represents planting over 100,000,000 trees over 10 years.
“Pangsapuri Salvia is our first condominium in Petaling Jaya that has benefited from this program,” said Synergy Group’s Aaron Wong.
He added that it helps the building reduce capital expenditure and operating expenses.
Ultimately it realizes Selangor’s vision of achieving a sustainable and greener city.
