THE RESIDENCES AT ALPHALAND MAKATI PLACE
THE RESIDENCES at Alphaland Makati Place utilizes innovative and state-of-the-art home automation system that allows residents to remotely control certain functions of their units. This system involves a main panel that controls lighting and appliances for the living room, kitchen and bedrooms, as well as a mobile tablet pre-installed with the system’s app. The property’s fiberoptic connectivity provides optimum speed capacity and future adaptation, assuring the effi ciency of the home automation system.
The home automation app can also be downloaded and installed on the unit owner’s mobile gadgets such as smartphones and tablets, so they can access their unit’s home automation system even when they are away for business or out on a trip. Residents also have the option to check on their units remotely through their mobile gadget by installing their own CCTV that can be synched with the app. Similarly, they can program the system to turn on the air conditioning before arriving home. All that’s needed to activate the access is a good mobile Internet connection.

The entire building itself saves on electricity costs because of its high solar reflectance surfaces, which reduce the “heat island effect” that usually forces cooling systems to work harder. Even the building’s surface and finishing paint, carpets, fabrics and similar materials use low-level chemical toxicity. All these features are included in fullyfurnished,
