Since its opening in 2011, the shopping centre has been a leader in sustainability practices. Among the mall’s recent achievements are becoming powered by 100% renewable electricity in July 2021, and having its restrooms recognised by the Guangzhou Emissions Exchange for outstanding performance in carbon neutrality – the first public convenience facility in a commercial complex to receive this recognition. This year, Taikoo Hui Guangzhou helped three more of its F&B tenants earn a One-Leaf rating, and two more of its F&B tenants earn a Two-Leaf rating, the second-highest grade in the Swire Properties Green Kitchen Initiative. Taikoo Li Sanlitun Wins Platinum LEED v4.1 Certification In June, Taikoo Li Sanlitun earned Platinum LEED v4.1 certification for its operations and maintenance of existing buildings, a step up from its LEED Gold v3 which the mall received in 2017. As Swire Properties’ first retail-led, mixed-use development in the Chinese Mainland, Taikoo Li Sanlitun has long been committed to promoting SD. Prior to receiving LEED Gold, the mall improved its energy efficiency through LED lighting renovation, façade insulation and automated waste sorting. Over the past five years, the complex has continued to increase energy efficiency through an HVAC system upgrade in the south zone, saving more than 66,500 kWh per month in the summer, and installing a solar power system in the north zone, paving the way for this latest certification.
