Sustainable water management initiatives at Ascencia
At Ascencia, we are committed to managing our resources responsibly. We continuously improve our water conservation measures and monitoring systems to reduce waste and ensure efficient use. As part of this initiative, we have integrated water-saving sanitary solutions across our malls to promote more sustainable operations.
Water management across Ascencia’s malls
To ensure efficient water use, we have put the following measures in place:
✔ Daily water monitoring using well-maintained main meters.
✔ Working cut-off valves for better water control when needed.
✔ Adequate water storage to ensure a steady supply for cold water distribution.
✔ Regular coordination with water suppliers and the Central Water Authority (CWA) to manage supply disruptions.
We also encourage tenants to fix leaks quickly and adopt water-saving practices in their spaces.
Geberit: a smarter approach to water efficiency
To further improve water management, we have installed Geberit’s advanced toilet systems in key malls. These solutions help reduce water use without affecting performance.
How Geberit supports sustainability
✅ Water-Saving Technology: Dual-flush and optimised flush systems reduce water consumption.
✅ Durable Materials: Long-lasting products that reduce the need for frequent replacements.
✅ Eco-Friendly Manufacturing: Production processes designed to use less energy and minimize waste.
✅ Recyclable Components: Many parts can be repurposed at the end of their lifespan.
✅ Lower Environmental Impact: More efficient use of resources helps reduce our overall footprint.
More than water: energy-efficient HVAC at Bagatelle Mall
Along with better water management, Ascencia is improving its energy efficiency. The new HVAC system at Bagatelle Mall helps reduce electricity use while maintaining comfort for visitors and tenants.
Key Benefits of the New HVAC System:
✔ Use of Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: The upgraded HVAC system utilizes R1234ze, a next-generation Hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerant. This refrigerant is environmentally friendly, offering optimized energy efficiency, reduced electricity consumption, and does not contribute to global warming or ozone layer depletion.
✔ Enhanced Energy Efficiency: The new system’s advanced cooling technology improves energy efficiency, leading to reduced electricity consumption.
✔ Environmental Leadership: By adopting R1234ze, Ascencia demonstrates its commitment to sustainable practices, setting a new standard for eco-conscious operations in Mauritius.
