Green Building in Singapore

Marina Barrage
The Barrage serves three benefits: It creates a freshwater lake to boost Singapore's water supply, acts as a tidal barrier to prevent flooding in low-lying city creas, and keeps the water level consistent, offering a venue for water-based activities in the heart of the city. The Barrage uses double-glazed glass panels used to reduce heat penetration and the need for air-conditioning. Another green feature of the Barrage is that they have a 70kW peake DC Solar Park that houses Singapore's largest collection of solar panels in operation. It also has automated irrigation sprinkler system on the rooftop is linked to rain sensors.
