An example of a Green Buildings in
Singapore is 311@Somerset. It was awarded the Green Mark Platinum in 2013 for being
an environment-friendly building in Singapore. To be part of an environment-friendly
building, it had green features such as Green Lease and Tenancy collaboration.
Tenant’s provisions are specified in the Green Lease and there is a control on
the energy usage. Likewise, the building have a carbon offsetting car-park.
This implies that a small portion of the car-parking fees will be used to fund
solar panels to be built on the development. The intention is to offset the
carbon of the vehicles getting to the mall. Also, solar panels are able to
harness the sun’s energy to power up car-park lighting and barrier system.
Thus, it reduces the energy usage in the shopping mall.
