Living World Grand Wisata was designed to be a mall that applies sustainable values for a better future, realized through energy efficient architecture concept focusing on the building’s orientation that uses sunlight as natural lighting through skylight from windows made of double glazing glass that prevents the sun’s heat from entering the indoor areas, resulting the reduction of AC use. This mall also applies high-efficiency AC that can save electricity consumption by up to 25% and also uses LED lamps for all mall areas, plus a water conservation concept through zero waste water system by managing dirty water waste, which will be utilized for watering plants in green park area sized 2,000 sqm.
Besides, Living World Grand Wisata also voices its caring commitment to local brand development through collaborations to present an exhibition with Bekasi Beauty Pop Up Fest from Paragon Group, Berjajanria, which indulges visitors with Asian culinary, and ball pool playground from Funworld that will accompany the visitors and their families during Ramadan moments. As a token of contributions to macroeconomy growth in Bekasi Regency, Living World Grand Wisata participates in developing MSMEs (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) fostered by Bekasi Regency by providing spaces for the MSMEs’ presence in the mall, especially in the field of culinary, handcrafts, and batik fashion from West Java.
