BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY (BCA)
GREEN MARK AWARDS – PLATINUM
One Raffles Quay (ORQ) was awarded the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Platinum Award, in recognition for its best practices in environmental design and construction, and the adoption of green building technologies.
The building incorporates many environmentally-friendly aspects in its construction, design and daily operations. Its low-emissivity glass minimises heat load and thermal transfer. On top of that, its energy-efficient air-conditioning system and lighting contribute to energy savings of 17%. Other features include daylighting in the underground link way to the MRT station and main entrance lobbies, energy-saving lifts and escalators, motion detectors for toilet lights, fully automatic and unmanned Electronic Parking System, Parking Guidance System and more. ORQ tenants also played an active role in reducing their office carbon footprint by recycling wastes such as light tubes.
ORQ won accolades for their achievements towards environmental sustainability under the Building and Construction Authority’s Green Mark awards.
