Based on these points, the points obtained until last week passed the highest level verification, namely platinum. Seeing this, we have met green building predicate," she expressed, Friday (4/16).

She explained the valuation was based on six greenship parameters, namely, Appropriate Site Development (ASD), Building Environment Management, Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Indoor Health and Comfort, Material Resources, Cycle and Water Conservation.

"JIS is the first stadium in Indonesia that carries the concept of sustainability. That means this achievement must be maintained regularly," she explained.
