except in those areas shaded in
white. Same situation applies with
the recent August 2012 monsoon
rain.
13. General Features
Nerou
Elements Eco-Efficient Residences a Aire
residential development comprised of
two towers, namely, Nerou Tower and
Aire Tower.
The project will focus entirely on eco-
efficiency through the use of advanced
technologies. This in effect will benefit
not just our environment but the unit
owners as well.
For announcement purposes only.
14. General Features
Nerou, inspired from the Greek word Nerou
for “water” is a 28-storey residential
building that will be built focusing on
the flow and soothing benefits of
water.
Its main features are its water-themed
residential lobby, resort-style pool at
the 5th level and a roof deck sky pool
overlooking the different Metro Manila
City skylines.
For announcement purposes only.
15. General Features
Aire, named after the Greek word for Aire
“air”, is the Tower 1 of Elements
Residences that fronts Shaw
Boulevard.
It is a 28-storey residential building
that will showcase and exude the
breeze and calmness of air.
Its serene features are the Hanging

as the use of solar panels, green roofs
and LED lights in these areas.
For announcement purposes only.

20. Eco-Efficient Features
Solar panels
Green roofs
LED lights
Rainwater catchment
Smart controllers
Low flow fixtures
Recycling
21. Eco-Efficient Features
Elements Residences is equipped
with solar panels which efficiently
absorb solar rays converting it into
electricity thru the photovoltaic
method.
The power that will be generated by
these solar panels will illuminate the
Sky Garden and Hanging Garden at
night as well as other common
areas in the building.
22. Eco-Efficient Features
These are building rooftops covered
with a variety of vegetation. This
will serve many eco-efficient
functions such as rainwater
absorption, building insulation and
may also have an impact on
lowering urban air temperature.
Element’s green roof will be
designed both in the Sky garden
and taken a step further in the
Hanging Garden.
23. Eco-Efficient Features
The light emitting diode
(LED Light) is a lighting technology
that will further improve the energy
efficiency of modern lighting
fixtures.
Common areas ordinarily use
compact fluorescent lamps and this
will be replaced by LED lights. This
will then save up an approximate
80% of electricity.
Further, it has a life span of five
years which is five times an ordinary
fluorescent lamp and it contains no
mercury.
24. Eco-Efficient Features
This provides sustainable source of
usable water .Collected rainwater
irrigates the Sky Garden and
Hanging Garden and serves as
water storage system for building
maintenance.
It lessens the chances of flooding
as it prevents gathered rainwater
from accumulating in the sewage
system.
25. Eco-Efficient Features
This technology dramatically
improves energy efficiency by
channeling electricity only when
motion is detected. This equipment
will be installed in the common
areas of the building which most of
the time is unused.
Through this technology, lights in
the hallways will automatically turn
off and will switch on once it detects
movement.
26. Eco-Efficient Features
These modified common household
fixtures substantially lessen yearly
water consumption of a typical
family by an approximately 22,000
gallons. This will be applied not only
to toilet fixtures but also to shower
heads, bidets and kitchen faucet.
27. Eco-Efficient Features
Elements’ business center and
administration office will also
partake in the eco-efficiency of the
whole building.
Pro-active Recycling and reusing
will be a common practice. From
the use of recycled paper, to
refillable ink print
cartridges, refurbished computers
and rechargeable batteries.
