IKEA Batu Kawan
IKEA Batu Kawan is the first IKEA lifestyle furniture store in the North. It is part of the ASPEN Vision City, a joint venture development between ASPEN & IKANO. This mixed development has high development density of 157,000 ft2/acre.
After fine-tuning of all building energy systems by Soma Technical (CxS) & IEN Consultants, IKEA Batu Kawan managed to achieve an annualized BEI of 156 kWh/m2/year, 50% better than a typical retail building in Malaysia.
As IKEA has specific requirements for building envelope thermal performance as part of their global design conditions, the window area on building facade is limited, however skylights are provided in order to have visual connection to outdoors & daylight to minimize use of artificial lighting.
IKEA Batu Kawan successfully achieved Gold rating for both LEED & GBI Certification.
