HarbourFront Precinct
Enhancing a brownfield district with centralised, energy-efficient cooling infrastructure.
The Vision
The Greater Southern Waterfront is home to several high-volume commercial buildings owned by real estate developer Mapletree. Their commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 centred on embedding green solutions across their portfolio to reduce overall carbon footprint. Part of the plan was to deploy a new, sustainable cooling system for their properties.
Our Solution
SP Group was appointed to design, build and operate a new distributed district cooling system that will interconnect five buildings – Bank of America HarbourFront, the new HarbourFront Centre, the existing HarbourFront Towers 1 & 2 and VivoCity. Supplying chilled water through three injection nodes, the system will become one of Singapore’s largest brownfield district cooling deployments that will enhance building energy efficiency across the HarbourFront precinct. Upon full implementation by 2031, the system is expected to be 8 per cent more energy-efficient than the National Environment Agency’s Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for water-cooled chilled water systems in industrial facilities. This reduces operating costs and carbon emissions, while freeing up valuable space previously used for individual cooling plants for operational or commercial use.
