CAGAYAN DE ORO -- Pueblo de Oro Development Corp. formally launched plans for what it claimed to be Mindanao’s first eco-friendly condominium on Tuesday with solar panels to be installed on the roof to produce around 150 kilowatts peak renewable energy.
The project, dubbed “Primavera Residences,” is a 10-storey twin-tower Italian-designed condominium with architectural features that promise to cut lighting and cooling costs for tenants.
Expected completion date for its Tower A is set for July 2012.
“Primavera Residences complements other green efforts in the Pueblo de Oro Township, including the 40-hectare Pueblo Urban Rainforest and the electric shuttles that would soon be serving Township residents,” said Rodolfo L. Meñes, Pueblo de Oro Development vice-president and general manager.
“When the ‘Net Metering Law’ will be implemented in Mindanao in the next two years in our estimate, the photovoltaic cells will feed electricity to the local distribution utility grid,” Romolo V. Nati, president of architectural firm ItalPinas, said.
“[In the meantime], we will be using the energy produced from the solar cells to directly power the common and shared areas of Primavera,” he said. -- MDB
