Spritzer Bhd’s automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) warehouse has been honoured with the “Energy-Efficient Building” award both nationally and in Asean.
The bottled water producer competed with 114 other nominees at the National Energy Awards (NEA) 2023, and obtained the merit award in the sub-category of zero-energy building.
At the 2023 Asean Energy Awards (AEA) hosted by the Asean Centre for Energy in Bali, Indonesia, the company’s ASRS warehouse won the energy-efficient building award.
Spritzer’s ASRS warehouse was the first building in GBI (Green Building Index) with a negative BEI (Building Energy Index) caused by its excessive solar energy generation.
Spritzer’s automated warehouse system located within their main plant in Taiping is a testament to its innovation and sustainability.
Spritzer’s group chief executive officer Kenny Lim said, “This system operates entirely on energy derived from solar and other renewable sources, bypassing the need for conventional energy inputs. This milestone achievement in the company’s ongoing journey towards embracing and promoting sustainability, demonstrates their commitment to greener and more efficient practices.”
Lim added, “We are honoured and proud to be counted among the distinguished recipients of the prestigious Energy-efficient Building Award.
“Our ASRS warehouse serves as a certified testament to the principles of green building. With unwavering commitment, we champion the cause of sustainable energy practices and remain firmly dedicated to our ambitious goal of attaining net-zero emissions by the year 2030.”
