Geberit's Space-saving Innovations Tackle Sustainability Challenges for High-Density Building Developments in SEA

Geberit Group, the European market leader in eco-friendly drainage systems, is supporting designers, developers and architects in Asia to create sustainable high-rise buildings with its ground-breaking SuperTube and Pluvia systems.

Engineered to strike the balance between architecture and eco-friendly design, Geberit's space-saving technologies enable cities to maximize space while ticking the sustainability box.

With limited land supply, cities across Asia are rapidly constructing high-density buildings to meet the demands of their growing population. In Vietnam, one of the region's burgeoning economies, it is predicted that Ho Chi Minh City will need an additional 47 million square meters of housing by 2030, and Da Nang has allocated 32% of its land for urban development.

These buildings consume significant amounts of electricity and contribute to the region's already-high greenhouse gas emissions, therefore, countries like Vietnam, Indonesia and Singapore are incentivizing developers to go green with space-saving building design and technologies.

An effective drainage system, such as the Geberit SuperTube and Pluvia systems, helps win back space and reduce a building's ecological footprint.

"The Shilla Monogram Quangnam Danang is a prime example of how long-lasting solutions from Geberit contribute to sustainable construction and environmental protection in projects. The SuperTube system reduces the amount of material required (HDPE) and significantly reduces CO2 emissions. The Pluvia system uses 73% less material weight for PE pipes and fittings and achieves a 74% reduction in CO2 emissions compared with conventional roof drainage systems," said Mr Darren Ng, Head of Sales for Vietnam & Indonesia at Geberit North & South East Asia.
