MAKING THE SWITCH TO LED
Since 2015, SGREIT’s properties
Wisma Atria Property, Myer Centre
Adelaide, Starhill Gallery and Lot
10 Property have progressively
replaced fluorescent lights with
LED lights in the common areas
and carparks of the malls.
Ongoing efforts are made
to fit the malls with energy
efficient lighting.
Starhill Global
REIT has set
a long-term
target to achieve
a 15% reduction in
energy consumption
over a 10-year period
from FY 2016/17 for the
Singapore Properties.
WATER CONSERVATION
Water is a scarce resource and the
Manager is conscious of the importance
of contributing to water conservation
and reduction in water usage.
Wisma Atria is fitted with water-saving
features including tap flow restrictors,
waterless urinal system and fittings
approved by Public Utilities Board
(PUB)’s Water Efficiency Labelling
Scheme in Singapore. Wisma Atria
has in place a Water Efficiency
Management Plan (WEMP) and its
usage of private water meters in
essential areas as mandated by PUB.
The WEMP allows the identification of
areas to reduce water consumption
and raise water efficiency through the
understanding of water usage within
the building, while advanced warnings
on possible pipe leakages is evidenced
through the monitoring of water
consumption via the private meters.
In Singapore, all of our water comes
from public utilities. In 2015, Wisma
Atria achieved PUB’s Water Efficiency
Building (Basic) certification.
In FY 2016/17, the water consumption
in Singapore increased slightly due to
the progressive reopening of Isetan’s
operations at Wisma Atria, thereby
resulting in increased water usage.
Likewise, there was an increase in
water consumption in the Malaysia
Properties following the reopening
of Isetan’s own operations after its
renovations. However, water usage in
Australia remained stable. There were
water conservation initiatives at Myer
Centre Adelaide such as waterless
urinals installed in the current year.
