A recent survey by LaFarge-EdgeProp in Malaysia has found that there is growing environmental awareness among Malaysian when it comes to choosing a home. Besides the traditonally strong factors of convenience and location, Malaysians surveyed voted natural green spaces as their top third priority. Notably, most of the respondents are not just hoping for more greenery but also want to live in homes that offer good ventilation (65.6%) and ample natural lighting (40.7%), two hallmarks of a sustainable development. “Thoughtfully-designed homes start from the design phase right up to the choice of materials, the actual build and finally maintenance. The use of durable products allow for lower maintenance cost in the long run,” says Lafarge Malaysia Bhd president and CEO Mario Gross explains.
