Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) continues to take the lead in redefining energy efficiency in Philippine real estate. In partnership with global low-carbon energy leader, ENGIE, through their joint venture “Philippine DCS Development Corporation (PDDC),” FLI is deploying advanced cooling systems in its flagship Festival Mall and in Quest Hotel Clark under Filinvest Hospitality.
Both initiatives are structured as 20-year Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) Energy Efficiency Performance projects, covering the full development, design, installation, operation, and long-term maintenance of these state-of-the-art systems. These landmark projects go beyond routine upgrades. They are bold statements of Filinvest’s commitment to decarbonise its portfolio, cut energy costs, and deliver future-ready assets that set a new benchmark for sustainable operations in Philippine real estate.
Festival Mall: Raising the Bar on Energy Performance
At Festival Mall, Filinvest Land is raising the bar for sustainable retail operations with a state-of-the-art cooling system that redefines both efficiency and comfort. This is not a simple upgrade—it is a decisive leap in how malls can operate more sustainably while delivering superior customer experience.
The initial phase targets a 36% reduction in energy consumption, with even greater efficiencies expected once the project reaches full implementation and commercial operations. This marks an unprecedented milestone in energy performance, setting a new standard for sustainable building operations.
Beyond energy savings, the impact will be felt where it matters most—comfort. Indoor cooling temperatures inside the mall will be a consistently cool 23–24°C. The result is a vastly enhanced customer experience, delivering greater comfort while consuming significantly less energy. This breakthrough proves that cutting-edge technology can drive both sustainability and customer satisfaction, reshaping the way malls operate for the future.
On top of comfort, the new system is projected to generate at least ₱56.9 million in annual electricity savings—powerful proof that sustainability drives not only environmental gains but also stronger business performance.
“Festival Mall’s new cooling system is a clear example of how we are future-proofing our assets through sustainable innovation,” said Tristan Las Marias, President and CEO of Filinvest Land, Inc. “This project reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering greener, more reliable, and more efficient spaces for our stakeholders, while reinforcing our role in shaping sustainable communities nationwide.”
By marrying energy savings with superior customer experience, Festival Mall’s chilled water system proves that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand, setting a benchmark for retail developments across the country.
