Singapore's Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has certified Keppel Bay Tower as a Green Mark Platinum (Zero Energy) building.
It is the first commercial property in the country to receive this accolade, said BCA and Keppel Land in a joint statement on Wednesday (Dec 9).
A Green Mark Platinum (Zero Energy) building must achieve a low energy use index (EUI) of less than 115 kilowatt hours per sq m per year. All its energy consumption, including plug load, should also be supplied from renewable sources, both on-site and off-site.
BCA worked with Keppel under the Super Low Energy Building challenge to push the technological boundaries on energy and water efficiency
While initially selected due to our water saving features, DCI managed to help cut Keppel Bay Tower's cooling energy use.
The 14 month programme saw DCI help Keppel save an additional 7% energy from cooling and reduce blow down water by 80%. All without chemicals!
