Furthermore, several Tropicana projects have been awarded bronze, silver and gold certifications from the Green Building Index ("GBI) and GreenRE in recent years. GBI is the first green building rating tool designed specifically for Malaysia's tropical climate and socioeconomic context.
Developed by the Malaysian Institute of Architects and the Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia, GBI is affiliated with and complies with the World Green Building Council standards. GreenRE, and alternative to GBI, is driven by the Real Estate and Housing Developers' Association Malaysia ("Rehda").
A developer must incorporate concrete measures to enhance a site's water and energy efficiencies, indoor environmental quality, lower carbon emissions, optimise the use of construction materials and more to secure a GBI or GreenRE certification.
A list of Tropicana projects that have obtained GBI or GreenRE certification can be found below.

Tropicana applies innovative building designs that offer natural ventilation and lighting to reduce electricity consumption and wastage. Some examples of energy-efficient features installed across our developments can be found below:

Renewable Energy Projects
We embarked on an exciting project to install solar panels at Tropicana's pioneer resort-themed development, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort ("TGCR"), Petaling Jaya in 2021. Installation of the 2,214 solar photovoltaic panels commenced in March 2021. The panels, spread across 53,204 sq ft of rooftop space at TGCR's clubhouse, were fully operational by September 2021.
- 2,214 PV panels installed
- 107,000 kWh electricity generated a month
Tropicana had earlier introduced renewable energy projects in other developments in Klang Valley. For instance, Tropicana Metropark in Subang Jaya features windmills that power water turbines in an innovative bio-filtration system to maintain the water quality in the development's 4.41-acres lake.
