SUSTAINABILITY
REPORT
Since 2015, SGREIT properties have
been progressively switching to
using LED lights as a sustainable
initiative towards energy efficiency.
Wisma Atria has been progressively
changing all the fluorescent lights
in its carpark and common areas
to LED lights, and ongoing efforts
are made to fit the entire mall
with energy efficient lighting. At
Myer Centre Adelaide, lights in the
common areas in the retail and
office sections and its basement
carpark have been replaced with
LED lights to reduce electricity
usage. Similarly, both Starhill Gallery
and Lot 10 in Malaysia retrofitted the
lights in its carparks with LED lights
since 2015.
In FY 2015/16, a software was
commissioned and installed at Myer
Centre Adelaide to optimise the operation
of the cooling towers and chillers for the
recently installed heating, ventilation
and air-conditioning system (HVAC) plant
through which healthy building conditions
are achieved as it ensures safety and
comfort of the indoor environment. There
was a reduction in the energy consumed
by the HVAC plant, thus resulting in
reduced operating costs.
Since 2012, the offices of the Manager
and Property Manager in Singapore
have been recognised for their green
efforts at Project Eco-Office, an initiative
between Singapore Environment Council
and City Developments Limited that
recognises environmentally-friendly
practices in workplaces. Wisma Atria
and the Malaysia Properties have been
extending their continued support for
Earth Hour by switching off facade lights
for the buildings. At Wisma Atria, there
are designated parking lots reserved
for electric cars. To raise awareness
of the importance of alternative
energy, Lot 10 installed a bicycle
battery charging station at the mall.
In FY 2016/17, the Manager organised
a visit to Gardens by the Bay for staff,
to raise awareness on horticulture and
biodiversity. We target to continue in
our efforts to organise and participate
in environmental activities to promote
awareness and encourage green
behaviour among our stakeholders.
