The Dewan Serbaguna MPSJ USJ 7 is an appreciable development which intent to bring great values to the communities. It is a development containing one level with a mezzanine floor. It also houses three badminton courts, a stage and two meeting rooms. The development incorporates energy efficient features such as roof insulation and energy efficient lightings. In order to ensure the comfort and well‐being of the building occupants, carbon dioxide monitoring and controlsystem with carbon dioxide sensor is installed. This helpsto ensure the building occupants receive sufficient outdoor air at all times. Low volatile organic compounds(VOC) materials and finishes are used in the development to minimize the detrimental impact caused by VOC to occupant’s health. External views to the outdoor are very important to reduce eyestrain for the building occupants.
