Learn about neighbourhood-wide implementations of sustainability and cooling measures organised by JTC
Punggol Digital District (PDD) employs at-scale sustainable practices in energy and water efficiency, material and waste management, environmental planning, low-energy buildings and transport.
With integrated passive design strategies alongside advanced mechanical and electrical systems, the district will achieve 35% reduction in operational carbon emissions yearly, equivalent to taking 4,000 cars off the road.
PDD boasts district-wide sustainable infrastructure, including a district cooling system (DCS) and a Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PWCS).
Spanning a 4km underground pipe network, the DCS is expected to reduce 3,700 tons of CO2 emissions per year and achieve up to 30% reduction in energy consumption compared to standard commercial buildings.
