 The new Robinsons Galleria Cebu is designed with the main goal of sustainability in mind, setting a new green-print for responsible commercial structures to come. Heeding the concerns of climate change and environmental sustainability, the mall only utilizes energy-efficient lighting and air-conditioning system throughout the mall, as well as water-conserving plumbing fixtures among its restrooms, and extends this thoughtful approach to its architecture. With tinted clerestory windows figuring prominently at the mall’s expanse, the Robinsons Galleria Cebu invites ambient natural sunlight in while keeping the harmful UV rays and the heat out, thereby minimizing the use of light fixtures throughout the day. The mall also only utilizes innovative LED lighting technology.  Its innovative approach to climate control use only the newest air conditioning systems that utilize less energy, while keeping the mall pleasantly cool and refreshing throughout the day. Its rest areas only feature water-saving fixtures such as non-flush urinals and automatic faucets, and its plumbing design limits waste water through strategic water recycling.  Solar panels will soon be installed in the roof deck of the mall.

By bringing the lush, verdant growth of the outside in, with its landscaped green zones replete with vertical gardens, refreshing water features, public rest spaces, and natural stone pathways, the mall’s environmental design makes going through your shopping errands seem like a walk in the park. Its generous use of foliage greatly reduces carbon emissions in the area, be it in its lush outdoor spaces, or in the rest spaces indoors, where planters and pocket gardens are prominently figured throughout the mall.
