That\u2019s because unlike the typical staid facades of manufacturing plants, Paramit\u2019s modern design \u2013 flush with greenery \u2013 has had some people asking if it was a resort!<\/p>\n

Trees and rich landscaping permeate the 162,000sq ft (15,050sq m) factory, which incorporates courtyards, roof gardens and skylights that provide natural light to the production floor. Ample louvres fully shade from the afternoon sun, reducing heat gain.<\/p>\n

The cooling plant (the main units of an air-conditioning system) of the factory is reduced to less than half, thanks to passive architectural design that reduces heat load, an innovative and energy-efficient chilled water floor slab cooling system, as well as an energy recovery system for the factory exhaust.<\/p>\n

Compared to the old factory \u2013 previously located at Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone \u2013 it uses 40% less energy per floor area and is also water-efficient, utilising 7.1 million litres of rainwater a year.<\/p>\n
