Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centrehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Opens-Singapore-s-First-Smart-Energy-Town-Showcase-at-MyTengah-Experience-Centre News Release SP Group Opens Singapore’s First Smart Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centre Singapore, 19 October 2020 – SP Group’s (SP) MyTengah Experience Centre, an interactive showcase of SP’s smart energy solutions that will be deployed in Singapore’s first smart energy town at Tengah, will be open to the public from 20 October 2020. SP will bring Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system to Tengah. Located at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh, the MyTengah Experience Centre will give future Tengah residents and visitors a first-hand look and feel of living in the A.I.-enabled, eco-friendly, smart energy town. It provides visitors with an immersive experience of the benefits of the smart energy innovations that will be installed and integrated across more than 20,000 residential, commercial and community facilities. These innovations include the centralised cooling system, digital display boards of energy consumption at residents’ blocks, charging stations for electric vehicles, and a digital platform that enables a near real-time monitoring of these solutions. Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group said, “SP wants to create a lowcarbon, smart energy Singapore. Tengah will be the model for low-carbon smart energy towns in Singapore. The MyTengah Experience Centre brings to life the benefits that residents will enjoy with our smart energy solutions, which will enable residents to integrate sustainability into their everyday lives.” Residential Centralised Cooling In collaboration with the Housing & Development Board (HDB), SP will bring Singapore’s first largescale residential centralised cooling system1 to Tengah. Air-conditioning accounts for a quarter of an average Singaporean household’s electricity consumption2 . With SP’s centralised cooling system, Tengah residents can enjoy as much as 30 per cent energy savings. Chilled water will be centrally produced from interconnected modular chiller plants built on the HDB roof tops before it is distributed to residential and commercial units for air-conditioning. To maximise the limited space available in Tengah, SP is also testing both conventional and vertical solar panels, known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). The solar energy generated from these sources will then be used to power the centralised cooling system to meet the township’s cooling needs. The centralised cooling system will also be serviced by SP, bringing greater convenience to the Tengah residents. Smart Energy Solutions In addition to centralised cooling system, SP will be installing other smart energy solutions across Tengah. These include digital sustainability displays called Eco Boards at the housing blocks’ lift lobbies to drive community awareness and help residents be more mindful of their block’s utilities’ consumption and impact on the environment. These boards will also provide residents with green tips to lower their electricity and water consumption and promote sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks. SP will also be implementing EV charging solutions in Tengah, with both fast and overnight chargers augmented by renewables and energy storage systems. At Tengah’s neighbourhood centre, drivers will be able to charge their EVs quickly at SP’s innovative Fast-Charging Hubs while attending to their errands. Digital Platform SP Group is rolling out OneTengah, a digital platform which integrates all the capabilities such as centralised cooling, battery energy storage systems, EV-charging stations, as well as data and analytics from other platforms within Tengah. The OneTengah platform will enable town council and facility operators to make use of energy management control and A.I.-enabled insights to monitor the town’s energy resources. They will also have complete visibility of systems in Tengah at an aggregated town or block cluster level. On a single dashboard, they can better monitor system performance and be alerted of anomalies, for quick actions to be taken to enhance the experience of living and working in Tengah. SP has also created a sustainable lifestyle app called myTengah app for an eco-friendly and hasslefree lifestyle. With the app, Tengah residents can access their household utilities consumption, intelligently control their centralised cooling usage, make smart decisions to lower their carbon footprint and integrate sustainability into their everyday lives. To visit the Tengah Experience Centre, simply walk in and register on site or make an appointment3 via the myTengah app, which can be downloaded on both the Apple App and Google Play stores. For more information on Tengah, please visit mytengah.sg. -Ends- Annex Testimonials from Future Tengah Residents “Initially, I was uncertain about centralised cooling because it is a new concept and I did not fully understand how it works. An SP Sustainability Ambassador personally and patiently explained to me how it works, with chilled water that is generated from highly energy-efficient modular chiller plants. SP Group then invited me for a sneak preview of the MyTengah Experience Centre. I saw the actual CCS chilled water indoor unit and was able to see how it will look like exactly in my future home, including the actual piping and fittings. I am now convinced and looking forward to saving more money in the long run.” - Mr Steven Ang, 64, future resident who signed up for centralised cooling for his new Tengah home “The MyTengah Experience Centre is such a cool and exciting place. It’s impressive and the fact that we can experience augmented reality elements, it’s the highlight for me as it showcases the intricate details and helps me visualise what has been planned for Tengah.” - Ms Beverly Tan, 23, visitor invited for a preview of the MyTengah Experience Centre, applying for a new home in Tengah “Sustainability to me is the harmonious co-existence of man and nature.

SP will bring Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system to Tengah. Located at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh, the MyTengah Experience Centre will give future Tengah residents and visitors a first-hand look and feel of living in the A.I.-enabled, eco-friendly, smart energy town. It provides visitors with an immersive experience of the benefits of the smart energy innovations that will be installed and integrated across more than 20,000 residential, commercial and community facilities. These innovations include the centralised cooling system, digital display boards of energy consumption at residents’ blocks, charging stations for electric vehicles, and a digital platform that enables a near real-time monitoring of these solutions. Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group said, “SP wants to create a lowcarbon, smart energy Singapore. Tengah will be the model for low-carbon smart energy towns in Singapore. The MyTengah Experience Centre brings to life the benefits that residents will enjoy with our smart energy solutions, which will enable residents to integrate sustainability into their everyday lives.” Residential Centralised Cooling In collaboration with the Housing & Development Board (HDB), SP will bring Singapore’s first largescale residential centralised cooling system1 to Tengah. Air-conditioning accounts for a quarter of an average Singaporean household’s electricity consumption2 . With SP’s centralised cooling system, Tengah residents can enjoy as much as 30 per cent energy savings. Chilled water will be centrally produced from interconnected modular chiller plants built on the HDB roof tops before it is distributed to residential and commercial units for air-conditioning. To maximise the limited space available in Tengah, SP is also testing both conventional and vertical solar panels, known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). The solar energy generated from these sources will then be used to power the centralised cooling system to meet the township’s cooling needs. The centralised cooling system will also be serviced by SP, bringing greater convenience to the Tengah residents. Smart Energy Solutions In addition to centralised cooling system, SP will be installing other smart energy solutions across Tengah. These include digital sustainability displays called Eco Boards at the housing blocks’ lift lobbies to drive community awareness and help residents be more mindful of their block’s utilities’ consumption and impact on the environment. These boards will also provide residents with green tips to lower their electricity and water consumption and promote sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks. SP will also be implementing EV charging solutions in Tengah, with both fast and overnight chargers augmented by renewables and energy storage systems. At Tengah’s neighbourhood centre, drivers will be able to charge their EVs quickly at SP’s innovative Fast-Charging Hubs while attending to their errands. Digital Platform SP Group is rolling out OneTengah, a digital platform which integrates all the capabilities such as centralised cooling, battery energy storage systems, EV-charging stations, as well as data and analytics from other platforms within Tengah. The OneTengah platform will enable town council and facility operators to make use of energy management control and A.I.-enabled insights to monitor the town’s energy resources. They will also have complete visibility of systems in Tengah at an aggregated town or block cluster level. On a single dashboard, they can better monitor system performance and be alerted of anomalies, for quick actions to be taken to enhance the experience of living and working in Tengah. SP has also created a sustainable lifestyle app called myTengah app for an eco-friendly and hasslefree lifestyle. With the app, Tengah residents can access their household utilities consumption, intelligently control their centralised cooling usage, make smart decisions to lower their carbon footprint and integrate sustainability into their everyday lives.

TNP PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG Nearly 1,000 households have signed up for the centralised cooling system (CCS) in the upcoming “forest town” of Tengah, where some 8,000 Build- To-Order (BTO) flats have been launched so far. Home owners who opt for the energy-efficient system will save around 15 per cent to 20 per cent in upfront costs compared with current market rates, and up to 30 per cent in life cycle costs, energy utilities provider SP Group, which runs the system in Tengah, said yesterday. The CCS is one of many smart features that will be implemented in Tengah, which is billed as a “smart energy” town powered by artificial intelligence. Under the CCS, chilled water will be piped to homes from centralised chillers installed on the rooftops of selected Housing Board (HDB) blocks. This is more energy-efficient than conventional air-conditioning systems, said SP Group. The system will be powered by solar energy generated by vertical and horizontal solar panels on the rooftops of HDB blocks. Residents will be able to monitor and control their home energy usage via the MyTengah app, which will be run by SP Group. They will be able to locate electric vehicle charging points via the app, and earn points to be exchanged for rewards by taking part in sustainable activities. A digital dashboard will be installed at the lift lobby of each block, which tracks its utilities consumption and impact on the environment. These eco-boards will also provide residents with tips on how to reduce electrical and water consumption, on top of promoting “sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks”, said SP Group. Future residents and the public can now visit the new MyTengah Experience Centre at the HDB Hub at Toa Payoh Central. There, they can learn more about the CCS and other ecofriendly solutions that will be implemented in Tengah. Advance booking is recommended, though walk-ins are allowed, subject to capacity. The 97 sq m experience centre can take around 16 visitors at any one time. Mr S. Harsha, managing director of sustainable energy solutions in Singapore for SP Group, said Tengah will be the first town to have a large-scale centralised cooling system, in line with national sustainability efforts. There are plans to provide predictive air-conditioning maintenance services for home owners using the data collected, he said. “This is part of the end-toend service SP Group hopes to provide, on top of the regular maintenance of the centralised chillers,” said Mr Harsha. 98 PER CENT OPT IN Around 98 per cent of the households introduced to the CCS by SP Group staff opted in, although Mr Harsha noted that they were not able to contact all 8,000 households because of the Covid-19 restrictions. Payment will be made only on the day owners collect the keys to their new homes, with airconditioning units by Daikin pre-installed, said SP Group. The group declined to reveal the exact cost of the CCS. ngmich@sph.com.sg Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=centralised-cooling-system Search SP Group Opens Singapore’s First Smart Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centrehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Opens-Singapore-s-First-Smart-Energy-Town-Showcase-at-MyTengah-Experience-Centre News Release SP Group Opens Singapore’s First Smart Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centre Singapore, 19 October 2020 – SP Group’s (SP) MyTengah Experience Centre, an interactive showcase of SP’s smart energy solutions that will be deployed in Singapore’s first smart energy town at Tengah, will be open to the public from 20 October 2020.

The 38-year-old Principal Engineer is part of the team designing and building the first centralised cooling system (CCS) for a residential estate in Singapore – in the Tengah eco-town. Instead of individual compressor units mounted on aircon ledges, Mr Liu is tasked to build a centralised system which circulates chilled water to and from each flat to cool air within the flat, thus delivering air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in the estate. The first homes will be ready in 2023. “It is definitely a challenge because we have to work with many other parties to overcome the space constraints,” says Mr Liu. In his previous posting in SP Group, Mr Liu worked at an underground district cooling system that serves the Marina Bay central business district. But this time, Mr Liu has to deal with space constraints of a different kind. “In HDB flats, it’s not cost-efficient to have large underground spaces, so we have to think out of the box and find space for our cooling equipment,” Mr Liu shares. Eventually, the project team decided to place the CCS equipment on the HDB block roof, which would allow precious ground space to be used by the community. HDB flat rooftops would host the CCS equipment which service a cluster of HDB blocks. This arrangement would optimise the cooling output of the CCS equipment, achieving both energy efficiency and supply reliability. Mr Liu is proud that he plays a part in transforming the energy sector to meet climate goals.

We are helping to improve lives by the meaningful transformation of the power industry. This brings me a lot of satisfaction as an engineer,” he says. Reaping benefits from economies of scale In a CCS, a few interconnected centralised plants produce chilled water which is piped to individual households. “Colder” chilled water produced at the centralised plants is circulated to the indoor air-conditioner (known as chilled water fan coil unit or FCU) in each flat. The FCU recirculates the air within the flat and cools the air. In the process, the chilled water is “warmed” up. The warmer water is then returned to the centralised plants to be chilled again and repeat the process. Because the centralised chilled water plants are 30 per cent more energy efficient by design than individual split units found typically in households, CCS is more economical for air-conditioning of flats. Mr Liu Yue is the deputy lead for the construction of the centralised cooling system that will deliver air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in Tengah eco-town. PHOTO: SP GROUP Air-conditioned comfort with lower emissions Air-conditioning is ubiquitous in tropical Singapore. According to the Department of Statistics, about 80 per cent of Singapore households own air-conditioners, and from NEA household electricity consumption profile, air-conditioning contributes about 24 per cent of the average household electricity consumption. With rising incomes and warming temperatures, air-conditioning ownership and the use of air conditioners are set to rise. Worldwide, the use of air-conditioners results in the emission of nearly two million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, or about 4 per cent of the global share. There is therefore an increasing need to reduce carbon footprint from more energy efficient air-conditioning systems. The reduction in electricity consumption from CCS will contribute towards Singapore’s ambitious carbon footprint reduction commitments. Singapore aims to accelerate its timeline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, peaking emissions in 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While Singapore’s carbon emissions represent a small percentage of the global share (0.13 per cent in 2020), Singapore’s per capita emissions are very high, about twice the global average at 12 tonnes annually. If Singaporeans can reduce their carbon emissions significantly, it would demonstrate how people can meaningfully counteract climate change without severely lowering their standard of living. Mr Liu is energised by his contribution to help Singapore meet its climate goals. “The CCS we are building will enable Tengah residents to lower their carbon footprint through an energy-efficient cooling system. Just by living in the estate, each resident has already started the sustainability journey. This is a huge motivating factor to every engineer working on the Tengah project. “We started from ground zero and had our fair share of roadblocks in the journey. With all the hard work we put in, it is very rewarding to see everything come to fruition. I am glad to be able to play a part in pioneering the most futuristic town in Singapore towards smart and sustainable living. I guess it's my way of leaving my mark – a green one,” adds Mr Liu. Energy-efficient cooling for a warming world Leading the effort for more efficient cooling systems, SP Group will be implementing various types of cooling systems in different capacities, both in commercial and residential buildings. Its flagship district cooling system in the Marina Bay CBD network will be expanding to cool 28 commercial buildings by 2026. The savings in electricity consumption is estimated to reduce about 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off the road. SP Group is establishing Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system for STMicroelectronics at the Ang Mo Kio Technopark. By the time it is operational in 2025, it will reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes annually. SP Group is also constructing a distributed district cooling network in Tampines, where seven existing buildings will be retrofitted by 2025. Transitioning the world into a decarbonised future Beyond its role as the national grid operator, SP Group actively pursues sustainability initiatives as a key part of Singapore’s climate strategy. Its climate initiatives include a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, deploying rooftop solar energy generation, and smart electricity metering to monitor and reduce usage. SP Group has also expor

The 27-year-old now leads a team of technical officers and technicians to maintain and renew high-voltage equipment and power cables. We caught up with Kai Herng to learn about his role, responsibilities, and motivations at SP. Tell us more about your current role. As a Distribution Network engineer, my work entails equipment maintenance and renewal. We are also the first responders on the ground when there is a power disruption. Executive Engineer Lim Kai Herng guides his colleague, Engineer Lim En Ping, as they carry out switching work at a substation. What is your most memorable achievement to date? When I first started as an engineer, my team and I were tasked to upgrade the existing 6.6kV network equipment at the western part of Singapore. Some of them are at least 20 to 30 years old and did not have in-built remote control and monitoring functions. With advancements in technology, we are now able to retrofit existing equipment to “send” information to our control centre. With the upgrade, power supply can be restored more quickly in the event of disruption. The team successfully completed this project in early 2020 – it is a milestone that I am very proud of! What are some of your biggest challenges at SP and how did you overcome them? As electricity and gas networks are critical infrastructure, close customer engagement for timely equipment and network maintenance becomes even more important. One of the key challenges is the rounds of discussions and negotiations with customers to schedule electricity supply shutdowns, for maintenance works to take place. In order to minimise disruption and inconvenience to customers we need to offer flexible solutions such as staggering shutdown times or providing alternate electricity supply during maintenance work.  Kai Herng cited the importance of strong camaraderie and teamwork. “It is no doubt a  heavy responsibility, but our unwavering focus on keeping Singapore lit keeps us going!”   This article was first published in BrightSparks Magazine February 2021.

Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centrehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Opens-Singapore-s-First-Smart-Energy-Town-Showcase-at-MyTengah-Experience-Centre News Release SP Group Opens Singapore’s First Smart Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centre Singapore, 19 October 2020 – SP Group’s (SP) MyTengah Experience Centre, an interactive showcase of SP’s smart energy solutions that will be deployed in Singapore’s first smart energy town at Tengah, will be open to the public from 20 October 2020. SP will bring Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system to Tengah. Located at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh, the MyTengah Experience Centre will give future Tengah residents and visitors a first-hand look and feel of living in the A.I.-enabled, eco-friendly, smart energy town. It provides visitors with an immersive experience of the benefits of the smart energy innovations that will be installed and integrated across more than 20,000 residential, commercial and community facilities. These innovations include the centralised cooling system, digital display boards of energy consumption at residents’ blocks, charging stations for electric vehicles, and a digital platform that enables a near real-time monitoring of these solutions. Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group said, “SP wants to create a lowcarbon, smart energy Singapore. Tengah will be the model for low-carbon smart energy towns in Singapore. The MyTengah Experience Centre brings to life the benefits that residents will enjoy with our smart energy solutions, which will enable residents to integrate sustainability into their everyday lives.” Residential Centralised Cooling In collaboration with the Housing & Development Board (HDB), SP will bring Singapore’s first largescale residential centralised cooling system1 to Tengah. Air-conditioning accounts for a quarter of an average Singaporean household’s electricity consumption2 . With SP’s centralised cooling system, Tengah residents can enjoy as much as 30 per cent energy savings. Chilled water will be centrally produced from interconnected modular chiller plants built on the HDB roof tops before it is distributed to residential and commercial units for air-conditioning. To maximise the limited space available in Tengah, SP is also testing both conventional and vertical solar panels, known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). The solar energy generated from these sources will then be used to power the centralised cooling system to meet the township’s cooling needs. The centralised cooling system will also be serviced by SP, bringing greater convenience to the Tengah residents. Smart Energy Solutions In addition to centralised cooling system, SP will be installing other smart energy solutions across Tengah. These include digital sustainability displays called Eco Boards at the housing blocks’ lift lobbies to drive community awareness and help residents be more mindful of their block’s utilities’ consumption and impact on the environment. These boards will also provide residents with green tips to lower their electricity and water consumption and promote sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks. SP will also be implementing EV charging solutions in Tengah, with both fast and overnight chargers augmented by renewables and energy storage systems. At Tengah’s neighbourhood centre, drivers will be able to charge their EVs quickly at SP’s innovative Fast-Charging Hubs while attending to their errands. Digital Platform SP Group is rolling out OneTengah, a digital platform which integrates all the capabilities such as centralised cooling, battery energy storage systems, EV-charging stations, as well as data and analytics from other platforms within Tengah. The OneTengah platform will enable town council and facility operators to make use of energy management control and A.I.-enabled insights to monitor the town’s energy resources. They will also have complete visibility of systems in Tengah at an aggregated town or block cluster level. On a single dashboard, they can better monitor system performance and be alerted of anomalies, for quick actions to be taken to enhance the experience of living and working in Tengah. SP has also created a sustainable lifestyle app called myTengah app for an eco-friendly and hasslefree lifestyle. With the app, Tengah residents can access their household utilities consumption, intelligently control their centralised cooling usage, make smart decisions to lower their carbon footprint and integrate sustainability into their everyday lives. To visit the Tengah Experience Centre, simply walk in and register on site or make an appointment3 via the myTengah app, which can be downloaded on both the Apple App and Google Play stores. For more information on Tengah, please visit mytengah.sg. -Ends- Annex Testimonials from Future Tengah Residents “Initially, I was uncertain about centralised cooling because it is a new concept and I did not fully understand how it works. An SP Sustainability Ambassador personally and patiently explained to me how it works, with chilled water that is generated from highly energy-efficient modular chiller plants. SP Group then invited me for a sneak preview of the MyTengah Experience Centre. I saw the actual CCS chilled water indoor unit and was able to see how it will look like exactly in my future home, including the actual piping and fittings. I am now convinced and looking forward to saving more money in the long run.” - Mr Steven Ang, 64, future resident who signed up for centralised cooling for his new Tengah home “The MyTengah Experience Centre is such a cool and exciting place. It’s impressive and the fact that we can experience augmented reality elements, it’s the highlight for me as it showcases the intricate details and helps me visualise what has been planned for Tengah.” - Ms Beverly Tan, 23, visitor invited for a preview of the MyTengah Experience Centre, applying for a new home in Tengah “Sustainability to me is the harmonious co-existence of man and nature. It is about achieving an equilibrium and balance. The MyTengah Experience Centre showcases the solution that can make this happen. To me, it’s also about savings and with CCS, we can save up to 30 per cent in our energy consumption. It is so economical.” - Mr Shaun Wong, 23, visitor invited for a preview of the MyTengah Experience Centre, applying for a new home in Tengah About SP Group SP Group is a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific, driving a low-carbon, smart energy future for its customers.

SP will bring Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system to Tengah. Located at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh, the MyTengah Experience Centre will give future Tengah residents and visitors a first-hand look and feel of living in the A.I.-enabled, eco-friendly, smart energy town. It provides visitors with an immersive experience of the benefits of the smart energy innovations that will be installed and integrated across more than 20,000 residential, commercial and community facilities. These innovations include the centralised cooling system, digital display boards of energy consumption at residents’ blocks, charging stations for electric vehicles, and a digital platform that enables a near real-time monitoring of these solutions. Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group said, “SP wants to create a lowcarbon, smart energy Singapore. Tengah will be the model for low-carbon smart energy towns in Singapore. The MyTengah Experience Centre brings to life the benefits that residents will enjoy with our smart energy solutions, which will enable residents to integrate sustainability into their everyday lives.” Residential Centralised Cooling In collaboration with the Housing & Development Board (HDB), SP will bring Singapore’s first largescale residential centralised cooling system1 to Tengah. Air-conditioning accounts for a quarter of an average Singaporean household’s electricity consumption2 . With SP’s centralised cooling system, Tengah residents can enjoy as much as 30 per cent energy savings. Chilled water will be centrally produced from interconnected modular chiller plants built on the HDB roof tops before it is distributed to residential and commercial units for air-conditioning. To maximise the limited space available in Tengah, SP is also testing both conventional and vertical solar panels, known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). The solar energy generated from these sources will then be used to power the centralised cooling system to meet the township’s cooling needs. The centralised cooling system will also be serviced by SP, bringing greater convenience to the Tengah residents. Smart Energy Solutions In addition to centralised cooling system, SP will be installing other smart energy solutions across Tengah. These include digital sustainability displays called Eco Boards at the housing blocks’ lift lobbies to drive community awareness and help residents be more mindful of their block’s utilities’ consumption and impact on the environment. These boards will also provide residents with green tips to lower their electricity and water consumption and promote sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks. SP will also be implementing EV charging solutions in Tengah, with both fast and overnight chargers augmented by renewables and energy storage systems. At Tengah’s neighbourhood centre, drivers will be able to charge their EVs quickly at SP’s innovative Fast-Charging Hubs while attending to their errands. Digital Platform SP Group is rolling out OneTengah, a digital platform which integrates all the capabilities such as centralised cooling, battery energy storage systems, EV-charging stations, as well as data and analytics from other platforms within Tengah. The OneTengah platform will enable town council and facility operators to make use of energy management control and A.I.-enabled insights to monitor the town’s energy resources. They will also have complete visibility of systems in Tengah at an aggregated town or block cluster level. On a single dashboard, they can better monitor system performance and be alerted of anomalies, for quick actions to be taken to enhance the experience of living and working in Tengah. SP has also created a sustainable lifestyle app called myTengah app for an eco-friendly and hasslefree lifestyle. With the app, Tengah residents can access their household utilities consumption, intelligently control their centralised cooling usage, make smart decisions to lower their carbon footprint and integrate sustainability into their everyday lives. To visit the Tengah Experience Centre, simply walk in and register on site or make an appointment3 via the myTengah app, which can be downloaded on both the Apple App and Google Play stores.

An SP Sustainability Ambassador personally and patiently explained to me how it works, with chilled water that is generated from highly energy-efficient modular chiller plants. SP Group then invited me for a sneak preview of the MyTengah Experience Centre. I saw the actual CCS chilled water indoor unit and was able to see how it will look like exactly in my future home, including the actual piping and fittings. I am now convinced and looking forward to saving more money in the long run.” - Mr Steven Ang, 64, future resident who signed up for centralised cooling for his new Tengah home “The MyTengah Experience Centre is such a cool and exciting place. It’s impressive and the fact that we can experience augmented reality elements, it’s the highlight for me as it showcases the intricate details and helps me visualise what has been planned for Tengah.” - Ms Beverly Tan, 23, visitor invited for a preview of the MyTengah Experience Centre, applying for a new home in Tengah “Sustainability to me is the harmonious co-existence of man and nature.

TNP PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG Nearly 1,000 households have signed up for the centralised cooling system (CCS) in the upcoming “forest town” of Tengah, where some 8,000 Build- To-Order (BTO) flats have been launched so far. Home owners who opt for the energy-efficient system will save around 15 per cent to 20 per cent in upfront costs compared with current market rates, and up to 30 per cent in life cycle costs, energy utilities provider SP Group, which runs the system in Tengah, said yesterday. The CCS is one of many smart features that will be implemented in Tengah, which is billed as a “smart energy” town powered by artificial intelligence. Under the CCS, chilled water will be piped to homes from centralised chillers installed on the rooftops of selected Housing Board (HDB) blocks. This is more energy-efficient than conventional air-conditioning systems, said SP Group. The system will be powered by solar energy generated by vertical and horizontal solar panels on the rooftops of HDB blocks. Residents will be able to monitor and control their home energy usage via the MyTengah app, which will be run by SP Group. They will be able to locate electric vehicle charging points via the app, and earn points to be exchanged for rewards by taking part in sustainable activities. A digital dashboard will be installed at the lift lobby of each block, which tracks its utilities consumption and impact on the environment. These eco-boards will also provide residents with tips on how to reduce electrical and water consumption, on top of promoting “sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks”, said SP Group. Future residents and the public can now visit the new MyTengah Experience Centre at the HDB Hub at Toa Payoh Central. There, they can learn more about the CCS and other ecofriendly solutions that will be implemented in Tengah. Advance booking is recommended, though walk-ins are allowed, subject to capacity. The 97 sq m experience centre can take around 16 visitors at any one time. Mr S. Harsha, managing director of sustainable energy solutions in Singapore for SP Group, said Tengah will be the first town to have a large-scale centralised cooling system, in line with national sustainability efforts. There are plans to provide predictive air-conditioning maintenance services for home owners using the data collected, he said. “This is part of the end-toend service SP Group hopes to provide, on top of the regular maintenance of the centralised chillers,” said Mr Harsha. 98 PER CENT OPT IN Around 98 per cent of the households introduced to the CCS by SP Group staff opted in, although Mr Harsha noted that they were not able to contact all 8,000 households because of the Covid-19 restrictions. Payment will be made only on the day owners collect the keys to their new homes, with airconditioning units by Daikin pre-installed, said SP Group. The group declined to reveal the exact cost of the CCS. ngmich@sph.com.sg Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=centralised-cooling-system Search SP Group Opens Singapore’s First Smart Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centrehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/SP-Group-Opens-Singapore-s-First-Smart-Energy-Town-Showcase-at-MyTengah-Experience-Centre News Release SP Group Opens Singapore’s First Smart Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centre Singapore, 19 October 2020 – SP Group’s (SP) MyTengah Experience Centre, an interactive showcase of SP’s smart energy solutions that will be deployed in Singapore’s first smart energy town at Tengah, will be open to the public from 20 October 2020.

The 38-year-old Principal Engineer is part of the team designing and building the first centralised cooling system (CCS) for a residential estate in Singapore – in the Tengah eco-town. Instead of individual compressor units mounted on aircon ledges, Mr Liu is tasked to build a centralised system which circulates chilled water to and from each flat to cool air within the flat, thus delivering air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in the estate. The first homes will be ready in 2023. “It is definitely a challenge because we have to work with many other parties to overcome the space constraints,” says Mr Liu. In his previous posting in SP Group, Mr Liu worked at an underground district cooling system that serves the Marina Bay central business district. But this time, Mr Liu has to deal with space constraints of a different kind. “In HDB flats, it’s not cost-efficient to have large underground spaces, so we have to think out of the box and find space for our cooling equipment,” Mr Liu shares. Eventually, the project team decided to place the CCS equipment on the HDB block roof, which would allow precious ground space to be used by the community. HDB flat rooftops would host the CCS equipment which service a cluster of HDB blocks. This arrangement would optimise the cooling output of the CCS equipment, achieving both energy efficiency and supply reliability.

News Release SP Group Opens Singapore’s First Smart Energy Town Showcase at MyTengah Experience Centre Singapore, 19 October 2020 – SP Group’s (SP) MyTengah Experience Centre, an interactive showcase of SP’s smart energy solutions that will be deployed in Singapore’s first smart energy town at Tengah, will be open to the public from 20 October 2020. SP will bring Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system to Tengah. Located at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh, the MyTengah Experience Centre will give future Tengah residents and visitors a first-hand look and feel of living in the A.I.-enabled, eco-friendly, smart energy town. It provides visitors with an immersive experience of the benefits of the smart energy innovations that will be installed and integrated across more than 20,000 residential, commercial and community facilities. These innovations include the centralised cooling system, digital display boards of energy consumption at residents’ blocks, charging stations for electric vehicles, and a digital platform that enables a near real-time monitoring of these solutions. Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group said, “SP wants to create a lowcarbon, smart energy Singapore. Tengah will be the model for low-carbon smart energy towns in Singapore. The MyTengah Experience Centre brings to life the benefits that residents will enjoy with our smart energy solutions, which will enable residents to integrate sustainability into their everyday lives.” Residential Centralised Cooling In collaboration with the Housing & Development Board (HDB), SP will bring Singapore’s first largescale residential centralised cooling system1 to Tengah. Air-conditioning accounts for a quarter of an average Singaporean household’s electricity consumption2 . With SP’s centralised cooling system, Tengah residents can enjoy as much as 30 per cent energy savings. Chilled water will be centrally produced from interconnected modular chiller plants built on the HDB roof tops before it is distributed to residential and commercial units for air-conditioning. To maximise the limited space available in Tengah, SP is also testing both conventional and vertical solar panels, known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). The solar energy generated from these sources will then be used to power the centralised cooling system to meet the township’s cooling needs. The centralised cooling system will also be serviced by SP, bringing greater convenience to the Tengah residents. Smart Energy Solutions In addition to centralised cooling system, SP will be installing other smart energy solutions across Tengah. These include digital sustainability displays called Eco Boards at the housing blocks’ lift lobbies to drive community awareness and help residents be more mindful of their block’s utilities’ consumption and impact on the environment.

PHOTO: SP GROUP Air-conditioned comfort with lower emissions Air-conditioning is ubiquitous in tropical Singapore. According to the Department of Statistics, about 80 per cent of Singapore households own air-conditioners, and from NEA household electricity consumption profile, air-conditioning contributes about 24 per cent of the average household electricity consumption. With rising incomes and warming temperatures, air-conditioning ownership and the use of air conditioners are set to rise. Worldwide, the use of air-conditioners results in the emission of nearly two million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, or about 4 per cent of the global share. There is therefore an increasing need to reduce carbon footprint from more energy efficient air-conditioning systems. The reduction in electricity consumption from CCS will contribute towards Singapore’s ambitious carbon footprint reduction commitments. Singapore aims to accelerate its timeline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, peaking emissions in 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While Singapore’s carbon emissions represent a small percentage of the global share (0.13 per cent in 2020), Singapore’s per capita emissions are very high, about twice the global average at 12 tonnes annually. If Singaporeans can reduce their carbon emissions significantly, it would demonstrate how people can meaningfully counteract climate change without severely lowering their standard of living. Mr Liu is energised by his contribution to help Singapore meet its climate goals. “The CCS we are building will enable Tengah residents to lower their carbon footprint through an energy-efficient cooling system. Just by living in the estate, each resident has already started the sustainability journey. This is a huge motivating factor to every engineer working on the Tengah project. “We started from ground zero and had our fair share of roadblocks in the journey. With all the hard work we put in, it is very rewarding to see everything come to fruition. I am glad to be able to play a part in pioneering the most futuristic town in Singapore towards smart and sustainable living. I guess it's my way of leaving my mark – a green one,” adds Mr Liu. Energy-efficient cooling for a warming world Leading the effort for more efficient cooling systems, SP Group will be implementing various types of cooling systems in different capacities, both in commercial and residential buildings. Its flagship district cooling system in the Marina Bay CBD network will be expanding to cool 28 commercial buildings by 2026. The savings in electricity consumption is estimated to reduce about 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off the road. SP Group is establishing Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system for STMicroelectronics at the Ang Mo Kio Technopark. By the time it is operational in 2025, it will reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes annually. SP Group is also constructing a distributed district cooling network in Tampines, where seven existing buildings will be retrofitted by 2025. Transitioning the world into a decarbonised future Beyond its role as the national grid operator, SP Group actively pursues sustainability initiatives as a key part of Singapore’s climate strategy. Its climate initiatives include a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, deploying rooftop solar energy generation, and smart electricity metering to monitor and reduce usage. SP Group has also exported these technologies to overseas markets where there is demand for sustainable energy solutions. SP Group has provided expertise to build district cooling and heating systems, smart metering and solar power generation in cities in China, Thailand and Vietnam.

| TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2020 | THE STRAITS TIMES | B1 UMEJ BHATIA S’PORE’S UN REPRESENTATIVE ON COVID-19 DIPLOMACY B4 1,000 households opt in for Tengah’s cool new feature Michelle Ng Nearly 1,000 households have signed up for the centralised cooling system (CCS) in the upcoming “forest town” of Tengah, where some 8,000 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats have been launched so far. Home owners who opt for the energy-efficient system will save around 15 per cent to 20 per cent in upfront costs compared with current market rates, and up to 30 per cent in life cycle costs, energy utilities provider SP Group, which runs the system in Tengah, said yesterday. The CCS is one of many smart features that will be implemented in Tengah, which is billed as a “smart energy” town powered by artificial intelligence. Under the CCS, chilled water will be piped to homes from centralised chillers installed on the rooftops of selected Housing Board blocks. This is more energy-efficient compared with conventional air-conditioning systems, said SP Group. The system will be powered by solar energy generated by vertical and horizontal solar panels on the rooftops of HDB blocks. Residents can also monitor and control their home energy usage via the MyTengah app, which will be run by SP Group. They will be able to locate electric vehicle charging points via the app as well, and accumulate points by participating in sustainable activities that can be exchanged for rewards. A digital dashboard will be installed at the lift lobby of each housing block, which tracks the block’s utilities consumption and impact on the environment. These eco-boards will also provide residents with tips on how to reduce electrical and water consumption, on top of promoting “sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks”, said SP Group. From today, future residents and members of the public can visit the new MyTengah Experience Centre at HDB Hub in Toa Payoh Central to learn more about the CCS and other eco-friendly solutions that will be implemented in Tengah. Visitors will be able to see the setup of the air-conditioning system in a home setting and learn how the system operates through various interactive displays. Advance booking is recommended, although walk-ins are allowed, subject to capacity limits. The 97 sq m experience centre can take around 16 visitors at any one time. Mr S Harsha, managing director of sustainable energy solutions in Singapore for SP Group, said that Tengah will be the first town in Singapore to have a large-scale centralised cooling system, in line with national sustainability efforts. There are plans to provide predictive air-conditioning maintenance services for home owners using the data collected, he said. “This is part of the end-to-end service SP Group hopes to provide, on top of the regular maintenance of the centralised chillers,” he added. Around 98 per cent of the households that were introduced to the CCS by staff from SP Group opted in, although Mr S Harsha noted that they were not able to contact Salesman Lim Kwok Mun and his wife Susan Lee checking out the air-conditioning system at the MyTengah Experience Centre at HDB Hub in Toa Payoh yesterday. From today, future residents and members of the public can visit the centre to learn more about Tengah’s eco-friendly solutions.

The group declined to reveal the exact cost of the CCS. When completed, Tengah could comprise around 30,000 public housing units and 12,000 private ones. Salesman Lim Kwok Mun, 71, and his wife Susan Lee, 68, a housewife, were drawn to the greenery in Tengah and decided to apply for a three-room BTO flat in Plantation district last year. Said Mr Lim: “The idea of a centralised cooling system is very cool; it’s like a hotel where you go in and everything is managed for you. “We are quite adventurous and want to keep up with technology, so we want to make our retirement home a smart home.” ngmich@sph.com.sg KEEPING UP WITH TECH The idea of a centralised cooling system is very cool; it’s like a hotel where you go in and everything is managed for you.

4 TUESDAY, OCTOBER20,2020 news 1,000 Tengah households opt for centralised cooling system The energy-efficient system will be powered by solar panels on HDB block rooftops MICHELLE NG Visitors checking out the air-conditioning and centralised cooling system at the MyTengah Experience Centre in Toa Payoh. TNP PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG Nearly 1,000 households have signed up for the centralised cooling system (CCS) in the upcoming “forest town” of Tengah, where some 8,000 Build- To-Order (BTO) flats have been launched so far. Home owners who opt for the energy-efficient system will save around 15 per cent to 20 per cent in upfront costs compared with current market rates, and up to 30 per cent in life cycle costs, energy utilities provider SP Group, which runs the system in Tengah, said yesterday. The CCS is one of many smart features that will be implemented in Tengah, which is billed as a “smart energy” town powered by artificial intelligence. Under the CCS, chilled water will be piped to homes from centralised chillers installed on the rooftops of selected Housing Board (HDB) blocks. This is more energy-efficient than conventional air-conditioning systems, said SP Group. The system will be powered by solar energy generated by vertical and horizontal solar panels on the rooftops of HDB blocks. Residents will be able to monitor and control their home energy usage via the MyTengah app, which will be run by SP Group. They will be able to locate electric vehicle charging points via the app, and earn points to be exchanged for rewards by taking part in sustainable activities. A digital dashboard will be installed at the lift lobby of each block, which tracks its utilities consumption and impact on the environment. These eco-boards will also provide residents with tips on how to reduce electrical and water consumption, on top of promoting “sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks”, said SP Group. Future residents and the public can now visit the new MyTengah Experience Centre at the HDB Hub at Toa Payoh Central. There, they can learn more about the CCS and other ecofriendly solutions that will be implemented in Tengah. Advance booking is recommended, though walk-ins are allowed, subject to capacity. The 97 sq m experience centre can take around 16 visitors at any one time. Mr S. Harsha, managing director of sustainable energy solutions in Singapore for SP Group, said Tengah will be the first town to have a large-scale centralised cooling system, in line with national sustainability efforts.

Hugh Lim For The Straits Times Climate change and urbanisation are two of the most important challenges facing the world today – and they are inextricably linked. In South-east Asia, one of the most rapidly developing regions in the world, millions are moving out of rural settings into more urbanised areas every year. Sadly, this urbanisation is usually accompanied by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, this need not be the case. Recent studies reveal that residents of denser city centres emit half the greenhouse gas emissions of their suburban neighbours. Moreover, cities have the unique ability to respond to a global issue such as climate change at a more local level, engaging residents directly. Cities are crucibles of innovation and usually offer more immediate and effective communication between the public and decision-makers. Therefore, cities that are well planned and managed may hold the key to balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. REQUIREMENTS OF SUCCESS On a city scale, urban infrastructure and policies are required to drive emissions reductions through lifestyle choices. Take the example of Tengah, Singapore’s most ambitious smart and sustainable new town to date. The Housing Board, in collaboration with energy utilities provider SP Group, will implement Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system there. Such collaborations and initiatives will aid Singapore in achieving its pledge to cap its emissions by 2030 and halve them by 2050. Its success will hinge on three things: power, process and people. Power: Geophysical constraints make it challenging for Singapore to adopt large-scale renewable energy solutions. This makes improving the performance of energy-consuming systems critical. The National Climate Change Secretariat predicts an increase in average surface temperatures of 2.9 deg C to 4.6 deg C under the RCP8.5 greenhouse gas trajectory for the period of 2070 to 2099, relative to 1980 to 2009. (RCP8.5 is a baseline scenario referring to the concentration of carbon that delivers global warming at an average of 8.5 watts per sq m across the planet.) What an increase in average surface temperatures means for Singapore is that there will be a commensurate increase in demand for air-conditioners. The amount of energy used to cool Singapore – which has the highest rate in the South-east Asian region of air-conditioners installed per capita – is projected to grow by 73 per cent between 2010 and 2030. The good news is that Singapore is piloting more energy-efficient technologies, including district cooling systems like the one implemented in the Marina Bay district in 2006, enabling energy savings of up to 40 per cent, according to SP Group. Tengah, which is scaled at around 220 to 300 HDB blocks, will be similarly equipped with a centralised cooling system adapted for residential use. Through centralised cooling, lifetime household energy consumption is expected to be reduced by 30 per cent. The upcoming Punggol Digital District, developed by national industrial infrastructure developer JTC Corporation, will be equipped with a smart energy grid that can lower energy usage, distribute green energy such as solar power seamlessly across the district and detect abnormal energy consumption. In Punggol Digital District, the buildings will be 30 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional commercial buildings, thanks to the sustainable design and smart optimisation enabled by the district’s open digital platform. Process: Sustainable districts can serve as test beds for urban systems innovation, enabling government agencies and industry partners to pilot a suite of complementary policies and actions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. Take Punggol’s open digital platform, which will collect districtwide data through its network of sensors, including building data (to do with lifts, lighting and occupancy, for example) and environmental data (such as temperature and rainfall). These data sets will allow JTC to optimise resources in real time and fix issues before they become serious problems. The open digital platform’s digital twin technology will also provide an experimental environment for anyone in the district. It will allow industries and researchers to tap the open data to MAKING A DIFFERENCE Tengah and Punggol Digital District are in the vanguard of city-level eco-smartness, but there are ways for everyone to contribute, no matter where in Singapore you live. SP Group is helping its customers to do just that through the My Carbon Footprint and My Green Credits features on the SP Utilities app. These allow customers to track carbon emissions resulting from electricity, water and gas consumption, and match this with the purchase of an equivalent amount of green energy.

Hugh Lim For The Straits Times Climate change and urbanisation are two of the most important challenges facing the world today – and they are inextricably linked. In South-east Asia, one of the most rapidly developing regions in the world, millions are moving out of rural settings into more urbanised areas every year. Sadly, this urbanisation is usually accompanied by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, this need not be the case. Recent studies reveal that residents of denser city centres emit half the greenhouse gas emissions of their suburban neighbours. Moreover, cities have the unique ability to respond to a global issue such as climate change at a more local level, engaging residents directly. Cities are crucibles of innovation and usually offer more immediate and effective communication between the public and decision-makers. Therefore, cities that are well planned and managed may hold the key to balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. REQUIREMENTS OF SUCCESS On a city scale, urban infrastructure and policies are required to drive emissions reductions through lifestyle choices. Take the example of Tengah, Singapore’s most ambitious smart and sustainable new town to date. The Housing Board, in collaboration with energy utilities provider SP Group, will implement Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system there. Such collaborations and initiatives will aid Singapore in achieving its pledge to cap its emissions by 2030 and halve them by 2050. Its success will hinge on three things: power, process and people. Power: Geophysical constraints make it challenging for Singapore to adopt large-scale renewable energy solutions. This makes improving the performance of energy-consuming systems critical. The National Climate Change Secretariat predicts an increase in average surface temperatures of 2.9 deg C to 4.6 deg C under the RCP8.5 greenhouse gas trajectory for the period of 2070 to 2099, relative to 1980 to 2009. (RCP8.5 is a baseline scenario referring to the concentration of carbon that delivers global warming at an average of 8.5 watts per sq m across the planet.) What an increase in average surface temperatures means for Singapore is that there will be a commensurate increase in demand for air-conditioners. The amount of energy used to cool Singapore – which has the highest rate in the South-east Asian region of air-conditioners installed per capita – is projected to grow by 73 per cent between 2010 and 2030. The good news is that Singapore is piloting more energy-efficient technologies, including district cooling systems like the one implemented in the Marina Bay district in 2006, enabling energy savings of up to 40 per cent, according to SP Group. Tengah, which is scaled at around 220 to 300 HDB blocks, will be similarly equipped with a centralised cooling system adapted for residential use. Through centralised cooling, lifetime household energy consumption is expected to be reduced by 30 per cent. The upcoming Punggol Digital District, developed by national industrial infrastructure developer JTC Corporation, will be equipped with a smart energy grid that can lower energy usage, distribute green energy such as solar power seamlessly across the district and detect abnormal energy consumption. In Punggol Digital District, the buildings will be 30 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional commercial buildings, thanks to the sustainable design and smart optimisation enabled by the district’s open digital platform. Process: Sustainable districts can serve as test beds for urban systems innovation, enabling government agencies and industry partners to pilot a suite of complementary policies and actions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. Take Punggol’s open digital platform, which will collect districtwide data through its network of sensors, including building data (to do with lifts, lighting and occupancy, for example) and environmental data (such as temperature and rainfall). These data sets will allow JTC to optimise resources in real time and fix issues before they become serious problems. The open digital platform’s digital twin technology will also provide an experimental environment for anyone in the district. It will allow industries and researchers to tap the open data to MAKING A DIFFERENCE Tengah and Punggol Digital District are in the vanguard of city-level eco-smartness, but there are ways for everyone to contribute, no matter where in Singapore you live. SP Group is helping its customers to do just that through the My Carbon Footprint and My Green Credits features on the SP Utilities app. These allow customers to track carbon emissions resulting from electricity, water and gas consumption, and match this with the purchase of an equivalent amount of green energy.

Hugh Lim For The Straits Times Climate change and urbanisation are two of the most important challenges facing the world today – and they are inextricably linked. In South-east Asia, one of the most rapidly developing regions in the world, millions are moving out of rural settings into more urbanised areas every year. Sadly, this urbanisation is usually accompanied by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, this need not be the case. Recent studies reveal that residents of denser city centres emit half the greenhouse gas emissions of their suburban neighbours. Moreover, cities have the unique ability to respond to a global issue such as climate change at a more local level, engaging residents directly. Cities are crucibles of innovation and usually offer more immediate and effective communication between the public and decision-makers. Therefore, cities that are well planned and managed may hold the key to balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. REQUIREMENTS OF SUCCESS On a city scale, urban infrastructure and policies are required to drive emissions reductions through lifestyle choices. Take the example of Tengah, Singapore’s most ambitious smart and sustainable new town to date. The Housing Board, in collaboration with energy utilities provider SP Group, will implement Singapore’s first large-scale residential centralised cooling system there. Such collaborations and initiatives will aid Singapore in achieving its pledge to cap its emissions by 2030 and halve them by 2050. Its success will hinge on three things: power, process and people. Power: Geophysical constraints make it challenging for Singapore to adopt large-scale renewable energy solutions. This makes improving the performance of energy-consuming systems critical. The National Climate Change Secretariat predicts an increase in average surface temperatures of 2.9 deg C to 4.6 deg C under the RCP8.5 greenhouse gas trajectory for the period of 2070 to 2099, relative to 1980 to 2009. (RCP8.5 is a baseline scenario referring to the concentration of carbon that delivers global warming at an average of 8.5 watts per sq m across the planet.) What an increase in average surface temperatures means for Singapore is that there will be a commensurate increase in demand for air-conditioners. The amount of energy used to cool Singapore – which has the highest rate in the South-east Asian region of air-conditioners installed per capita – is projected to grow by 73 per cent between 2010 and 2030. The good news is that Singapore is piloting more energy-efficient technologies, including district cooling systems like the one implemented in the Marina Bay district in 2006, enabling energy savings of up to 40 per cent, according to SP Group. Tengah, which is scaled at around 220 to 300 HDB blocks, will be similarly equipped with a centralised cooling system adapted for residential use. Through centralised cooling, lifetime household energy consumption is expected to be reduced by 30 per cent. The upcoming Punggol Digital District, developed by national industrial infrastructure developer JTC Corporation, will be equipped with a smart energy grid that can lower energy usage, distribute green energy such as solar power seamlessly across the district and detect abnormal energy consumption. In Punggol Digital District, the buildings will be 30 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional commercial buildings, thanks to the sustainable design and smart optimisation enabled by the district’s open digital platform. Process: Sustainable districts can serve as test beds for urban systems innovation, enabling government agencies and industry partners to pilot a suite of complementary policies and actions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. Take Punggol’s open digital platform, which will collect districtwide data through its network of sensors, including building data (to do with lifts, lighting and occupancy, for example) and environmental data (such as temperature and rainfall). These data sets will allow JTC to optimise resources in real time and fix issues before they become serious problems. The open digital platform’s digital twin technology will also provide an experimental environment for anyone in the district.

| TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2022 | THE STRAITS TIMES | B1 SINGAPORE >98% LOCAL COVID-19 CASES SINCE MARCH 15 INFECTED BY BA.2 VARIANT | B5 Tampines to get cooling system by 2025 Ang Qing By the first half of 2025, Tampines will become the first town centre here to retrofit a centralised cooling system in a project that will slash the environmental cost of air-conditioning. It will also pave the way for more than 80 per cent of buildings in Singapore to follow suit. Yesterday, owners of seven buildings agreed to start work on SP Group’s first distributed district cooling network, with another slated to join in the future, said SP Group and investment company Temasek in a statement. District cooling technology involves generating chilled water in a centralised location, and then sending the water through a network to multiple buildings. It is more energy efficient as the system reaps the benefits of economies of scale. While air-conditioning was hailed by founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew as Singapore’s secret to success in the tropics, its comfort comes at the price of up to half of a building’s energy consumption. The shared infrastructure from ENERGY SAVINGS continued on B2 How a district cooling system works District cooling system Imagine a giant air-conditioner that can cool an entire district of buildings, rather than just individual buildings, but one that is greener and more energy efficient. How does it work? Chilled water (4 deg C to 7 deg C) OFFICE BUILDINGS COOLING TOWERS RETAIL BUILDINGS Warmer water (12 deg C to 14 deg C) 1 CENTRAL COOLING PLANT Chilled water is generated in a central cooling plant. Carbon emissions Reduction of carbon emissions by 1,359 tonnes annually, equivalent to taking 1,236 cars off the road 5 Benefits of system 2 Energy transfer station COMMUNITY CENTRES 4 3 Thermal storage tank The warmer water is then circulated to the cooling plant, via the return pipes, to be chilled again. The whole process repeats. A closed-loop network of underground insulated pipes distributes the chilled water to each building. Thermal storage tanks are designed to store cold energy in the form of ice or chilled water. They help to regulate cooling demand and provide resilience. Not all district cooling system plants deploy thermal storage tanks. Energy savings Over 2,800,000 kilowatt hours annually, equivalent to the power consumption of more than 900 three-room HDB households for a year Energy transfer stations within each building circulate the cold energy from the network into the building’s air-conditioning system, which dehumidifies and cools the air. Cost saving Up to $50.8m of life-cycle economic benefits over 30 years Eight buildings in Tampines to be part of network The distributed cooling system will tap existing chiller plants in several buildings within the network to supply linked buildings with chilled water for their cooling needs. Buildings with excess cooling capacity to supply chilled water Masjid Darul Ghufran Our Tampines Hub Buildings receiving chilled water TAMPINES AVENUE 5 TAMPINES CENTRAL 2 Income at Tampines Junction Telepark TAMPINES GRANDE District cooling • Instead of having individual chiller plants in each building, a district cooling system produces chilled water on a large scale in a central cooling plant and supplies it to buildings. • It operates at maximum energy efficiency by selecting the most suitable mix of chillers and using thermal storage tanks to manage electricity demand during peak periods. • Buildings that tap this centralised system benefit from reduced equipment cost and energy savings, while reducing their emissions and freeing up leasable space. TAMPINES CENTRAL 6 OCBC Tampines Centre Two Building to supply chilled water after first half of 2025 Tampines station Tampines Bus Interchange CPF Tampines Building Century Square TAMPINES CENTRAL 5 TAMPINES CENTRAL 1 Tampines One Tampines station Tampines Mall TAMPINES AVENUE 4 Underground pipes transporting chilled water Tampines Community Plaza TAMPINES CENTRAL 4 Differences between district cooling and conventional cooling Conventional cooling • Most buildings have dedicated space for their on-site chiller plants and rooftop cooling towers. • Building owners need to buy cooling equipment and incur operational and maintenance costs. They may also need to invest in more chillers than necessary as a buffer against potential increases in cooling needs. • Since the cooling demand of a building fluctuates throughout the day, the chiller in one building is unlikely to operate at its optimal efficiency. On-site cooling equipment, chillers and cooling towers need to operate round the clock regardless of energy demand. Sources: TEMASEK, SP GROUP STRAITS TIMES GRAPHICS

These data sets will allow JTC to optimise resources in real time and fix issues before they become serious problems. The open digital platform’s digital twin technology will also provide an experimental environment for anyone in the district. It will allow industries and researchers to tap the open data to MAKING A DIFFERENCE Tengah and Punggol Digital District are in the vanguard of city-level eco-smartness, but there are ways for everyone to contribute, no matter where in Singapore you live. SP Group is helping its customers to do just that through the My Carbon Footprint and My Green Credits features on the SP Utilities app. These allow customers to track carbon emissions resulting from electricity, water and gas consumption, and match this with the purchase of an equivalent amount of green energy. With the right urban infrastructure and power of knowledge, it will be possible to achieve climate action goals at both the individual and national levels. stopinion@sph.com.sg • Hugh Lim is the executive director of the Centre for Liveable Cities (www.clc.gov.sg), under the Ministry of National Development.

B2 SINGAPORE | THE STRAITS TIMES | FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 2021 | Cool new way to help transform Tampines into eco-town by 2025 Seven buildings, including malls, will save energy by using a shared cooling system Michelle Ng Owners of seven buildings in Tampines Central are giving high energy bills the cold shoulder by coming together to tap a centralised cooling system. The project by Temasek and SP Group is one of the efforts to transform Tampines into an eco-town by 2025, in line with the Singapore Green Plan 2030. The buildings are Tampines Mall, Telepark, Century Square, Tampines 1, OCBC Tampines Centre Two, Our Tampines Hub and UOB Tampines Centre. Chilled water pipes, among other infrastructure, will be retrofitted and installed in these buildings so they can share the cooling load to provide air-conditioning, said Temasek and SP Group yesterday. This leads to greater system efficiency through economies of scale, compared with standalone cooling systems, they added. Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli said the project will complement existing green initiatives, such as solar panels on Housing Board rooftops, noting that the eco-town push can only be complete if businesses and commercial partners share the same vision. “Apart from being a residential estate, Tampines is also an active and mature business hub – home to an industrial park, several office complexes and a cluster of shopping malls and Our Tampines Hub,” said Mr Masagos, who is also an MP for Tampines GRC. He was speaking at an event yesterday at Our Tampines Hub, where representatives from building owners CapitaLand, Frasers Property, OCBC Bank, People’s Association and UOB signed a letter of intent with SP to affirm their interest in subscribing to the cooling system. “As we looked to target high-impact areas for sustainability that we could potentially intervene in, one problem emerged quite evidently – the issue of cooling in buildings,” he added. He noted that commercial buildings tend to consume a significant amount of energy through the use of air-conditioning. The seven participating buildings were involved in a white paper that studied the feasibility of such a cooling system. The study of 14 existing buildings in Tampines Central found that the cooling system would reduce energy consumption by 17 per cent, enough to power 1,665 three-room HDB flats for a year. It could also curb carbon emissions by 18 per cent each year – the equivalent of removing 2,250 cars from roads annually. Building owners would save $4.3 million annually from energy savings, the reduction in equipment replacement and maintenance costs, and potential earnings from freed-up chiller plant space which can be converted for retail or office use. The study by Temasek and SP started in the first quarter of last year, supported by the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment and Tampines GRC. Discussions with the owners of the other seven buildings are ongoing. Tampines was picked over Choa Chua Kang and Nee Soon, the two other shortlisted towns, for the pilot. Tampines was selected as it was deemed to have a good mix and a concentration of retail malls, offices and community hubs in close proximity, which is ideal for the implementation of a district cooling system. Building owners will bear the cost of setting up the system in their buildings. SP and Temasek declined to reveal the rates. Mr Masagos noted that introducing the system in a brownfield development comes with its own set of challenges, although it could pave the way for future towns to follow suit. He said: “It’s very difficult to introduce solutions into a mature and established development like Tampines Central, even if there are new technologies. “But this issue is not unique to Tampines (as) brownfield developments represent 80 per cent to 90 per cent of our urban landscape in Singapore. If we succeed in Tampines, it becomes a blueprint at the national level.” ngmich@sph.com.sg Centralised system to reduce energy consumption and costs A DISTRICT COOLING SYSTEM Imagine a giant air-conditioner that can cool an entire district of buildings, rather than just individual buildings – but greener and more energy-efficient. How does it work? 1 2 3 4 5 Chilled water is generated in a central cooling plant. A closed-loop network of underground insulated pipes distributes the chilled water to each building. When the chilled water reaches the building, energy transfer stations within each building circulate the cold energy from the network into the building’s air-conditioning system, which dehumidifies and cools the air. The warmer water is then circulated to the cooling plant, via the return pipes, to be chilled again. The whole process repeats. Thermal storage tanks (if used*), are designed to store cold energy, in the form of ice or chilled water. Thermal storage tanks help to regulate cooling demand and provide resilience. SHARING THE COOLING LOAD The buildings that will use the centralised system are: • Tampines Mall • Telepark • Century Square • Tampines 1 • OCBC Tampines Centre Two • Our Tampines Hub • UOB Tampines Centre COOLING TOWERS 1 OFFICE BUILDINGS RETAIL BUILDINGS 5 CENTRAL COOLING PLANT 14 BUILDINGS IN TAMPINES CENTRAL IDENTIFIED FOR PILOT TAMPINES AVE 5 Masjid Darul Ghufran 3 1 8 4 2 6 TAMPINES AVE 4 Tampines MRT station (DT32) 5 9 10 Tampines Bus Interchange 7 11 12 13 2 TAMPINES AVE 7 14 Tampines MRT station COMMUNITY CENTRES *Not all district cooling system plants deploy thermal storage tanks.
