I have visited Panasonic Econation Center in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia and impressed with their innovation and initiative on green technology. The centre showcases various forms of comprehensive solutions from home, building, office, factory to township. As the first eco showroom in the Asia Pacific outside of Japan, the center reinforces Panasonic's commitment to be the No. 1 Green Innovation Company in the electronics industry by 2018.
What used to be an old house and a barren compound is now a 'beyond sustainable building' equipped with Panasonic's total energy solution - Create, Store, Save and Manage Energy. The one-of-its-kind 6,000 square-foot center in Malaysia is designed to interact with natural elements such as sunlight (40kWp solar panels fitted on a double roof structure), water (50 cubic metre rain water harvesting system), air (energy efficient air conditioning and quality purification) and earth (green landscaping and reduction of heat reflections). The 24MWh of energy the center can generate per year is akin to a reduction of approximately 12 tons of CO2 emission (or 600 trees being saved per year).
The Center is open to Trade Industry from Monday till Thursday (10am - 5pm) and to the general public on Friday and Saturday (10am - 5pm). If you happen to be in Kuala Lumpur, do drop by the Panasonic Econation Center at No. 70, Jalan 16/1 (Dato' Abu Bakar), 46350 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan. It's definitely a sight to behold.
