Sustainable living at the core of every Avida community
(Second of a series)
Sustainability becomes most powerful when woven into daily life. For families, an address with sustainability features brings in greater comfort, healthier spaces and bigger savings. That’s on top of the inspiration one gets knowing they contribute to a global movement to care for Mother Earth.
Those benefits come standard in communities developed by Avida Land. In its pursuit of inspired living spaces and master-planned communities, the company has evolved to adapt to the demands of the times. Today, those demands include resilience, eco-friendliness and overall well-being—priorities that come together as sustainability.
For Avida, a strategic location is not only about access to lifestyle and economic hubs. It also means elevation. Sites on higher ground reduce flood risks, protect the property and minimize disruptions. Avida reinforces this with effective drainage systems and detention ponds engineered to perform during severe weather. Through these measures, every home becomes a safer, more dependable place to live.
These choices reflect the company’s proactive and forward-thinking approach to building climate-resilient addresses, as well as its strong sense of responsibility to residents. In a country regularly visited by typhoons and tormented by heavy rains, such foresight provides residents with confidence and peace of mind.
Water, a vital resource, must be used wisely. Recognizing its role in security, comfort and hygiene, Avida Land integrates water-efficient plumbing fixtures in its homes. These fixtures—including toilets, showerheads and faucets—make use of advanced designs to ensure optimal performance while reducing consumption, supporting responsible use and lowering utility costs.
The low-flow fixtures, along with elevated site selection, form part of Avida Land’s “ClimAdapt” innovation. They join other key elements: rainwater harvesting, motion-sensor lights and low solar heat-gain glass windows.
And, Avida does not stop there. A close look reveals even more eco-driven features. One thing that might instantly jump out is an effort to engage homeowners in sustainability through practical measures reducing waste, nurturing greenery and fostering environmental stewardship.
All those become second nature to them because of the Eco Yard. This unique Avida Land feature is a comprehensive outdoor space that includes a materials recovery facility (MRF), a composting area and a plant nursery. In its house and lot communities, the Eco Yard is a living extension of the Filipino bakuran—a green and nurturing space that sustains both the community and environment.
Biodegradable materials from households are turned into compost that may be used for the common green spaces. The nursery, dedicated to native plants, promotes biodiversity and provides seedlings for the community ensuring vibrant and resilient landscapes through the continuous production of plant replacements.
Avida Land incorporates solar-powered street lights within its house and lot communities to enhance energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. These renewable energy solutions reduce dependence on the electrical grid, resulting in lower operational costs and decreased carbon emissions. The solar street lights emit a warm white light that creates a safe and welcoming ambiance in common areas, enhancing safety and security by illuminating pathways and open spaces effectively.
Designed with a standardized light angle and throw, the warm glow minimizes light pollution and limits disturbance to residents, while its softer tone ensures superior visibility even in darkness and rainfall. By harnessing renewable energy, these solar lighting systems promote long-term community savings, comfort, and sustainability.
Avida Land house and lot developments have efficient floor plan layouts that are thoughtfully crafted to minimize space wastage, providing residents with more functional and comfortable living areas. With its enhanced window provisions promoting natural airflow and ample sunlight, it contributes to a well-ventilated and well-lit interior environment. This design approach supports light energy conservation by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Those additions do more than set Avida developments apart. They offer real, lasting value. They lead to a more secure and meaningful life for you and your household.
