Applauding Sustainability
GICC has become the first in Macau to receive the
prestigious Silver Certification for

GICC will open with a number of innovative design features
this year. The following are key highlights:

own robust and highly efficient “Energy Center” which includes a central
chiller plant that can be integrated with future chiller plants; a centralized
chilled water supply and a 110kV power substation for not only GICC, but for
all of Galaxy Macau™, the world-class luxury integrated resort. - The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
system at GICC is among the world’s most advanced, featuring effective
energy-saving measures to optimize ventilation. - Eco-friendly Green Walls will be planted along
the façade of the Galaxy Arena entrance and at the Andaz Macau entrance to keep
temperatures cooler in summer and reduce the amount of heat escaping in winter.
