Concept

Parc Riviera is designed to be constructed through Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) construction with modular dimensions and standardized design.

PPVC is a productivity construction method which focus to raise productivity by reducing use of manpower on site with modular units fabricated and fitted with fittings and finishes off-site. This method reduces the amount of dust and noise pollution generate from normal construction site. The PPVC construction method also enhances site safety as most installation activities and manpower were moved off-site to a factory controlled environment.

With thoughtful design the units are designed with 2.3m deep balcony which provided shading to living/dining or master bedroom and the full height curtain wall glass are tinted to reduce heat from the sun.

Maintainability

The building uses of environmental friendly products that are certified by approved local certification body for all the units and are applicable for non-structural building components and construction: 1. Ceiling Plaster Board 2. Laticrete Tile Grout 3. SKK Exterior Paint 4. SKK internal Paint 5. SKK Sealer 6. Asia Mortar R-crete Eco Skimming 7. Asia Mortar R-crete Eco Screed 8. Asia Mortar R-crete Eco Render

SUSTAINABILITY

Ecological & environmental values

Majority of Parc Riviera’s development façade is orientate to North-South facing - eliminating any use of low-e glass. Blocks are orientated to take advantage of prevailing winds and minimise solar heat gain. End wall east-west facing also help to reduce heat gain to the units. Dark grey tinted glass to the main façade treatment.

2.3m deep balconies as horizontal sun shade and vertical framing to enhance shading. Use of energy efficient features such as motion sensors, ventilation systems etc.

Use of water fittings that are certified under WELS.

Use of energy re-generative lift provision to reduce power consumption for all lifts. Use of eco-friendly materials for dry wall panels, ceiling panels and paintings are used to minimize environmental impact.

Use of PPVC modular for construction. PPVC is a construction method whereby free-standing volumetric modules (complete with finishes for walls, floors and ceilings are constructed and assembled and manufactured before installing each PPVC module at every floor by the tower crane.

INNOVATION EXCELLENCE

Relevance to community

Environmentally friendly materials and products are used in the Development’s building construction. These require less resources and increase the reusability of such materials and products for the same or similar use, thereby decreasing waste as well. Adopting the latest practices and innovative green materials to reduce use of energy and water consumption.

Example of such uses as low-VOC paints, adhesives, laminates and panel boards to ensure a better indoor air quality. In order for the building to remain sustainable, it would be recommended that similar green materials be used when refurbishing or renovating in the future.

The provision of Recycling and Compost bins are provided to encourage resident to apply sustainability as a greener lifestyle. The water fittings used in the units are certified “VERY GOOD” by the Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS). Examples are the bathroom, kitchen.

Lighting in areas where usage is low shall be controlled by motion sensors. These areas include lobbies and stair cases half landings. The lights in these areas shall be automatically turned on and off by motion sensors.

Use of Technology

There is a wireless intercom system to the guardhouse for the access card entrance e.g. lift lobbies. Residents are able to unlock lift lobby door of their own block when visitor intercom them. This wireless intercom enables the residents to release the lobby door even though they are not at home using their mobile phone if they provide the handphone number to the Management to link to the intercom system.

CO sensors are smart devices used to measure the levels of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas. Our basement carparks are equipped with mechanical ventilation with CO sensors.

Some of the features of the CO sensors include: • Real time detection of air CO • LCD display CO and optional temperature & RH measurement • High accuracy humidity and temperature detection optional
