Think of a mall, and chances are memories of strolling, dining, and shopping in leisure come to mind. For many of us, the mall is synonymous to cool and comfortable dining venues, relaxing talks with friends and family over a cup of coffee, and boutiques that make the latest trends and gadgets accessible to all.

For Parkmall Cebu customers, however, these experiences are taken to the next level as they enjoy these pleasures with the confidence that these do not come at a heavy price to the environment. Parkmall Cebu pioneers the green mall revolution in the Philippines thru services and amenities that not only embody style, convenience, and comfort, but also integrate eco-friendliness into the mall experience.

A cool mall
Parkmall Cebu’s structure and design resonates with this very objective. Parkmall’s roof structure, for one, has been covered with heat-resistant insulation material in order to help cool the building’s interiors. This innovation eliminates the need for added airconditioning while still maintaining a cool and fresh mall atmosphere. The mall also sports an ingenious water-cooling system that lessens the need for ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-based refrigerants.

These innovations not only significantly lessen the amount of energy spent and refrigerants used within the mall, but also give our customers the confidence that they are doing their part in helping protect the environment. By choosing us, they are choosing to support and engage in our eco-friendly efforts while still enjoying the benefits of a comfortable mall experience.

A bright perspective
Any mall-going person knows that a well-lit mall is essential for a fun mall experience. The sight of food, the company of friends, the gleam of gadgets and the sparkle of jewelry – all of these can only be appreciated in defining lighting. At Parkmall, we offer our customers brilliant lighting while still keeping our thrust of conserving energy by using compact fluorescent lights (CFL) that greatly reduce energy consumption. Our brilliant artificial lighting system is augmented with skylights placed at strategic mall points. This seamless integration of nature and technology gives Parkmall Cebu a distinctly natural and homey feel.

Saving up for tomorrow
Parkmall Cebu is compliant with local ordinances and national laws that promote water conservation and water consumption efficiency. In accordance with these, Parkmall has installed waterless urinals and its very own sewage treatment plant which cleans its wastewater before it is released into the environment. Parkmall does not heed the added cost of this operation, as it knows that this effort will greatly help in ensuring that the local community has access to clean and safe water and a healthy environment, not only for today but also for years to come.

A light load
Parkmall is proud to pioneer the use of smart escalators in malls in Cebu and the country. These elevators are capable of sensing the load they are carrying and adjusting their speed and power consumption to best suit it. Lighter loads mean lower speed settings and more energy saved per hour of operation, with no adverse effect to customer convenience and enjoyment.

Nothing is really wasted
Parkmall’s centralized and efficient waste disposal and management system forms a crucial step in realizing Parkmall’s vision of an ecologically-friendly mall. From disposal to segregation and recycling and management, Parkmall takes an active role in lessening the impact of their waste on the environment.

These steps comprise only the first of many steps that Parkmall continues to undertake in the name of ecologically-sound mall management. As Parkmall grows, rest assured that we will continually seek better ways to promote our goal of saving and protecting the environment while still giving you the best possible mall experience in Cebu – an experience of comfort, style, and elegance with an environmentally-friendly heart.
