Green Buildings in Singapore,
Singapore’s Changi Airport, Terminal 3 which has a roof architecture that allows soft natural light into the building and at the same time, not allowing the heat to escape in. There are more than 900 skylights reflector panels which allow themselves to allow the right temperature of heat into the building. These solar panels generates energy, furthermore, it is not only sustainable, and it is also renewable meaning that we will never run out of it. Hence, due to the solar panels, it marks a as a green building. In addition, In line with Singapore’s reputation as the Garden City, Terminal 3 boasts a vertical garden five storeys high, known as the “Green Wall”. With a height of 300 metres across the main building, the “Green Wall” is a tapestry of climbing plants, interspersed with four cascading waterfalls and a hand-carved sandstone art wall display.
