INNOVATION CENTRE

Green features

Solar panels are implemented on rooftop of the structures and will also be integrated with shelters on top of walk paths. This is extremely beneficial in Singapore context. Sufficient Sunlight energy on daily basis can be consolidated through Solar panels to subsidize the power consumption of the facilities. This iconic feature resonates perfectly with the concept of energy-efficient green building.

70 per cent of roof top surface will be covered with tropical flora terra. This green rooftop design will not only add aesthetical features to the campus, but also plays a part in promoting the idea of Garden City in Singapore.

Low emissivity glasses are used in window panels in all campus facilities, to replace conventional type of glass panels. Low emissivity glass can effectively block ultraviolet radiation present in the sunlight so as to protect items inside the building such as furniture and wall coverings. At the same time, such type of glass is also more permissive to infrared radiation transmitting out of the building. Therefore, the rate of heat accumulation inside the room will be effectively reduced since more heat energy is allowed to exit the building in the form of infrared radiation. This can eventually reduce power consumption due to usage of air-conditioning.

Green concrete, or recycled concrete is used in our campus structure because of environmental consideration. This in general reduces the waste produced at the construction site and make this entire structure environmental friendly.
