Puncak Alam, Selangor – SUMISAUJANA, a leading Malaysian specialist in high-performance construction and industrial chemicals, has achieved LEED v4 BD+C: New Construction Silver certification for its new Office and Warehouse development in Puncak Alam, marking a significant milestone in the company’s sustainability journey.
A client using science to drive environmental performance
SUMISAUJANA’s core business is built on chemistry that improves the durability and performance of buildings and infrastructure. Extending that same performance mindset to its own facilities, the company asked for industrial buildings that would:
operate with significantly reduced energy demand
minimise potable water use
manage stormwater and site impacts responsibly
provide healthy, daylit and thermally comfortable environments for staff
At Lot 41735, the design focuses on efficient warehousing and logistics with a controlled office environment. The building envelope and systems were optimised to lower energy demand, while outdoor potable water use is removed from the design and indoor consumption is reduced through efficient fixtures. Rainwater is managed on site and habitat is protected or restored, so the facility behaves as a managed environmental system rather than a typical hard-paved industrial plot.
The Lot 41736 Office, R&D and Warehouse facility applies the same discipline at a larger scale. Here, office functions, laboratories and warehouse zones are integrated within a single LEED Silver certified building. The project improves energy performance and implements strong measures for rainwater management, light pollution control and habitat protection.
Daylight, thermal comfort and air-quality provisions support scientific and engineering work alongside industrial operations.
Across both sites, material choices reflect life-cycle and sourcing considerations, aligning the physical fabric of the buildings with SUMISAUJANA’s focus on long-term durability and responsible performance.
NEAPOLI’s role
NEAPOLI was employed for both projects, providing LEED strategy, energy modelling, environmental simulations and full documentation. The consultancy approach treated energy and water as design variables to be optimised rather than as checklist items, ensuring that the LEED outcomes reflect real operational improvements rather than purely theoretical intent.
