The total floor areas is 71,662.73 sqm. For Energy Efficiency Part, all individual rooms or enclosed spaces are individually switched and each individually switched zone shall not exceed 100m2 for 90% of the NLA. Motion sensor control lighting will be installed for at least 25% of common areas. Sub-meters will be provided for energy use > 100kVa, separating lighting and power sub-meters. Huge size of solar panel (1800kWp) will help to generate at least 2.5% of the overall building energy. Due to the huge solar panel size, the EUI for the project is more than 55% (59.9%). This project also appointed Ir. Tan Khim Bok which is the Commissioning Specialist, CxS (GBICxS/C0017) to enhance the commissioning for the energy related system for the project. 50% of building maintenance team to be on board 1 to 3 months before practical completion, to be involved in testing and commissioning of all building energy services. Designated building maintenance office with sufficient storage for inventory of tools and instruments are provided.
