the 48% is nature? Preserve?

Used to work in cyber for 1 year...after 1 year revisit the the place....it impressed me and i can see the changes in 1 year...on that day booked 1 condo for ownstay..

I like the peaceful environment there...u walk on the street or when u makan in cyber...u wont feel like anytime kena snatch or rompak...hopefully in future it still will be the same 

CYberjaya is like magnet... i only visited CYber 2 times... already bought 2 properties there... very crazy... LoL...

I know many complained Cyberjaya is far, toll, not matured.

I am getting more familiar with Nusajaya, except Singapore X factor:

1. Nusajaya is only < 10 km from Singapore, but if u travel during peak hours, the 3 km custom average will take 30+ minutes.
2. Toll @ second bridge far more expensive.
3. Cyberjaya is > 60% developed, Nusajaya probably about 20% only, with not much business activities.

Although I don't like the current government party, but they have already put in effort building infrastructure. Many Singaporean like & goreng Nusajaya, yet many Malaysian KPKB about Cyberjaya.

Funny. Haha.

Tamarind Square, Cyberjaya

selling price from RM2.7 mil (RM3mil for corner unit), wow, who is buying? No wonder food is expensive in Cyber...

Cyberjaya continues to focus on sustainability as a key economic driver
By JOY LEE

A view of Cyberjaya on a clear day.
AWARENESS about sustainability is growing among urban populations and this is driving cities around the world to establish their “green branding”.

While some cities are merely scratching the surface on going green, many are coming to the realisation that creating a smart and sustainable city means attaining a high level of economic efficiency and quality of life in a desirable place to live and do business.

And this comes with a meaningful commitment to environmental responsibility.

As countries around the world become increasingly conscious of the economic benefits of addressing environmental issues, major cities are becoming the new frontline in their efforts to go green.

In Malaysia, Cyberview Sdn Bhd has been tasked to drive the green agenda in Cyberjaya, which was accorded pioneer green city status in 2010 when the government acknowledged green technology as one of the new economic drivers for the country.

“In today’s global economy, national and international efforts to promote green development as a new source of growth have intensified in recent years. We are on the road towards evolving green technology further as a way of life and a catalyst for new economic growth.

“We are now embracing this concept and acknowledging some of the benefits associated with it. Sustainable economic development is an important agenda in our long-term plan and it is essential not only to ensure a continuous growth for the future, but also to support the sustainability of the country economically, socially and environmentally,” said Cyberview managing director Faris Yahaya.
Solar-powered street lamps (above) are an example of an environmentally friendly initiative that would help lower the use of electricity.
Cyberjaya was launched in 1997 and Faris noted that there were already plans then to make the ICT hub a green city.

Some 30% of Cyberjaya’s 7,000 acres is reserved as a green lung and the hub has committed to reduce 21% of carbon emissions by 2020.

Cyberview is also working with the Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry as well as other stakeholders in Cyberjaya to develop the Low Carbon City Framework 2020.

Cyberview has also collaborated with various partners to launch several green initiatives in Cyberjaya, including fitting solar panels on bus shelters and carparks, installing composting machines and setting up of GreeNomad kiosks, which utilise innovative green technology.

However, Faris points out that the green initiatives are not merely a matter of following the lastest trend as more multinationals (MNC) and, small and medium enterprises (SME) in Cyberjaya realise that they need to meet carbon targets and build business confidence in order to pull in more sustainability-based investments.

Additionally, sustainable practices also make economic sense, Faris added.

An example is Cyberview’s partnership with Europe-based Cofely GDF Suez. The partnership formed Pendinginan Megajana Sdn Bhd, a local district-cooling system provider in Cyberjaya.

The district cooling system generates chilled water for air-conditioning requirements within an area. Megajana currently has two plants that serves 37 buildings in Cyberjaya and plans are afoot for a third plant thanks to growing demand.

Megajana’s general manager Azharuddin Ismail said having a district-cooling system helps reduce energy costs for its clients.

“It is environmentally friendly and uses 40% less electricity than traditional cooling systems. The district-cooling system can reduce annual CO² emissions by about one tonne for every tonne of district cooling refrigerant demand served. It is also 40% more efficient and requires lower capital costs from building owners,” Azharuddin said.

Cyberview has allocated more than RM400,000 for more green initiatives this year.

Faris says Cyberview’s immediate focus is the implementation of “low-hanging-fruit” initiatives and would continue to grow its expenditure after more projects are confirmed.

Cyberjaya’s gross development value for the next five years is expected to be at RM20bil with Cyberview pouring in some RM8bil in investments during the period. Investments in Cyberjaya since 1997 total RM32.6bil.

Currently, Cyberjaya houses more than 700 companies (35 of which are MNCs) and a population of about 55,000 people. Population is expected to double by 2017 with the robust developments in the ICT hub.

“In achieving the green vision, companies in Cyberjaya are also enforcing best-planning practices and striking a balance between development and the environment. The sustainable eco-system enables these companies to grow progressively,” said Faris.

Data centre CSF Group plc president and chief executive officer Adrian Yong notes that sustainable practices have not only established a healthier and more enjoyable work experience at the company, but also earned it the Frost & Sullivan 2013 Data Center Service Provider of The Year award.

“One of our primary initiatives was to provide an indoor air quality assurance in the data centre area for better comfort for those who need to work in there for an extended period of time. We also installed autonomous lighting controls to ensure minimal electricity wastage and tweaked our plant rooms to include segregation of cooling and ventilation and right-sizing the electrical power used for protection of equipment,” Yong said.

The group’s facility, CX5, is the first data centre in Malaysia that has been awarded provisional Green Building Index certification.

Cyberview also expects more green projects in Cyberjaya in the future including the Centrus Mall by Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd and Setia Eco Glades development by SP Setia Bhd.

Setia Eco Glades sits on a 268acre site in Cyberjaya. SP Setia has reiterated its commitment to promote sustainable development with a masterplan that adheres to Green Building Index certification criteria.

Faris says all the initiatives are in line with the government’s aspiration to turn Cyberjaya into a pioneer green townships and as a showcase for the development of other townships.

“Cyberjaya Malaysia is proof that so much can be achieved with likeminded partners who are committed to creating a healthy and green city,” he said.

So hav u invested?
