Tampines Grande & Tampines Concourse
Tampines Grande is a cutting-edge and new generation green office. The building has achieved an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of 122 kWh/m2/year (compared to the norm of 200 kWh/m2/year for buildings) and moving forward, is expected to achieve a minimum energy-efficiency of 30% higher than that of a standard commercial office building.
11 Tampines Concourse - the first CarbonNeutral® development in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific. The three-storey office building has an energy-efficient design and eco-friendly fittings that will yield energy savings of 620,000 kWh, or at least $120,000, a year.
