在你进入藤泽永续智能市镇（Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town）前，你可能已经发现这并不是一个普通的市镇。因为，有多少市镇会在镇前的道路安装一条长达400米的太阳能电板？ 前往这个位于日本神奈川（Kanagawa）县的永续智能市镇，首先会进入的是一个名为Welcome Garden的长型花园，然后就会抵达藤泽永续智能市镇委员中心及中央公园。 在这短短的路途上，你会发现更多智能与永续的设计，像是配有感应器、闭路电视和太阳能电板的LED街灯。 这些不起眼的街灯，是该市镇努力为住户创造环保与永续家居的最佳证明。 通过配置的闭路电视，这些街灯为市镇的各个地方进行监控，例如市镇入口、公共建筑、阴暗的公园角落及街道的人行道等，以确保镇内与居民的安全。 当夜幕降临，这些街灯会用一种智能的方式照亮整个市镇。在一般的“待机”模式下，这些街灯的亮度会降低至70%，但一旦感应器感应到底下有人经过时，他们就会把亮度调节到100%。 而且，通过一个无线网络系统，它们会“通知”前面的街灯，让它们也把亮度调到最高。 而这些只是2019年EdgeProp Malaysia卓越打造永续、管理及健康考察团所见识到的部分设计，参与此次考察的包括房屋与地方政府部长Zuraida Kamaruddin、大马房地产发展公司的高层，还有EdgeProp Malaysia最佳管理产业大奖的评委。 这个从10月3日展开的三日考察团，是由EdgeProp.
