RE-USE. REDUCE. RECYCLE.

ESDM Plaza is built based on sustainable principles. The design concept itself started with the circle shape representing the transformation of energy. The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. 

As a builder, we were challenged to build this plaza using materials and sources that will have a low carbon footprint throughout the construction process.

Most of the materials being used have been curated from the previous plaza. The pavings are from the original plaza and are kept during the demolition process. There was a billboard structure inside this area that is sorted and cut to make the seating and parts of structures of some elements in this new Energy Plaza at Kementrian ESDM.

The total area of the plaza is 1300 m2. The pond in the middle of the plaza cools down the temperature of the area and uses shell and organic materials. This plaza was designed to harvest rainwater to water the plants in this plaza.
