SINGAPORE - An existing four-storey office building owned by local bank DBS will be transformed into a net-zero energy building, with the installation of rooftop solar panels and use of natural ventilation and smart systems.
The move to achieve net-zero energy consumption is in tandem with the Government s target to green 80 per cent of buildings by 2030, as part of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, said DBS Bank on Friday (July 9).
Net-zero energy means the building produces enough energy for its own consumption, such as by harnessing solar energy.
The transformation of the office building at 135 Bukit Timah Road is set to cost $5 million, with a portion covered by a grant awarded by the Building and Construction Authority.
