Green Mark Building

We passed by National Library the other day, JR mentioned that this building is the best energy saving Building in Singapore. It had been many years that I last touched on Intelligent Building Technology. After JR mention that, my interest start to glow again.

So I decided to do a search on the web, I realised that National Library has been awarded Green Mark Platinum (Green Mark Point 85 and above) by BCA.

Some features to look-out when u visit the library nxt time :-

• This Building is orientated away from the east-west sun, combined with sunshading features on the west face of the building as an additional shield against solar heat gain and glare.
• Energy efficient features include daylight sensors which are used together with automatoc blinds at the building facades, motion sensors and energy efficient lightings.
• A open plaza area between the two blocks which allows natural ventilation and daylighting.
• Extensive landscaping, sky terraces and roof gardens are utilized to lower local ambient temperature.
• Use rain sensor as part of the automatic irrigation system for rooftop gardens. Water efficient taps and cisterns are also used to conserve water.
