The visit to Keppel Infrastructure (KI) @ Changi buiding on 20 Sep 24 was an eye-opener to Singapore's first Green Mark Platinum Positive Energy building under the new and more stringent Green Mark scheme.
During this visit, Zhenglin Wang, Head of Marketing & Partnerships, Infrastructure Division, showcased KI's ability to retrofit an existing building within a short span of time by upgrading of the high-efficiency air conditioning and mechanical ventilation system, as well as installing smart sensors, LED lights, electric vehicles charging infrastructure and vast vertical greenery. He also showed us the photovoltaics ( over 4,000 square metres) that were also installed on the rooftop and building façade, which is expected to yield about 600,000 kWh/year of renewable energy, more than double of the building’s consumption.
Besides gaining insights into KI's Energy-as-a-Service offering, we had the opportunity to visit the critical KI operations nerve centre, which harnesses advanced digital and machine learning technologies to provide real-time surveillance of KI’s operations across Singapore, around the clock, starting with its district cooling plants.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Keppel Infrastructure for hosting us. A big shoutout to Zhenglin Wang for his insightful presentation and answers during the interactive Q&A session.
A big thank you to the Climate Change Committee, comprising Claudia Gehlen, Diana Tang and Patrycja Wisniewska for organizing this event.
Lastly, BLCC Singapore want to thank European Chamber of Commerce, Singapore (EuroCham Singapore) for the collaboration and our guests for joining us for the event.
