Malaysians are embracing sustainability features when planning for future home purchases, according to the Malaysia Consumer Sentiment Study H1 2020 by PropertyGuru, Asia’s leading property technology company. “The majority (63%) of Malaysians are thinking ahead and prioritising environmentally sustainable features, with solar panels (70%), smart cooling systems (59%) and pollution-absorbing interiors (40%) highest in demand,” says Sheldon Fernandez, Country Manager, PropertyGuru Malaysia. “These desires underscore rising costs of living in the country, along with growing quality of life concerns, particularly in urban areas. They also align with the government’s current green initiatives, including a 20% renewable energy mix in its 2025 generation targets.”
