Green Buildings In Singapore

One Green Building I would like to touch on is the Parkroyal hotel in Singapore. The Parkroyal hotel consists of a few features such as the skylights, solar panels, energy-saving elevators and escalator which were built to conserve energy. The solar panels plays a part in conserving energy by absorbing solar energy and using them as power sources. This helps reduce the amount of electricity usage. Furthermore, an efficient energy saving skylight helps minimize the energy used in heating, cooling and lighting as they provide daylighting and ventilation. Lastly, the energy saving elevators has in cab sensors and softwares which provides sleep mode, turning off lights and ventilation. All these features helps reduce the energy used to move the elevators.
