Cloud causes an overcast sky ater 2pm, and due to differential in pressure results in rain or wind movement, which clears the skies by late evening. However due to high directional temperatures from the west sun, services and lif core is placed nearer to this surface, North and south surfaces, generally, is less affected by the solar radiation. The direction jn forming the mass was the necessity in making a greater surface for indirect sun lighting, shaded from the east-west radiation, From the centre, the mass is truncated towards the east. The east facade, which received the ‘most direct sunlight has a reduced surface area while the carved aut zone provided forthe penetration of indirect sunlight, An effective span of 2x 1 Im bays provide forthe structure of a north wing and a south wing, 2225 nC) |G Ginaemere: Pees _— Construction of the building had already progressed to Level 7, when the Client brought ‘on-board a consultant to assist in looking at energy saving fo the building operation ‘ost. The building’ energy consumption was Analysed, and with various modifications to the architectural, mechanical and electrical ‘elements, the building was headed tovvards energy eficiency. Five categories were identified for improvement (i) Design for Energy Efficiency For an office building, ai-conditioning system is generally regard asthe energy guzzler among, all other system found inthe building, The building was designed to have an energy efficent air-conditioning system, which operates at low system efficiency Ffective lighting contro system stich as motion sensor and photo sensor that allows us to reduce the energy consumption from ightings was adapted. Motion sensors, which are widely used in toilets, staircases, and photo sensors controlling lobby and car park were implemented. Lifts system with VWVF motor drive for energy efficiency and dual speed mode forall eee: Provision for extensive landscaping, and vertical greening has been made for GTower to reduce heat gained from sola radiation anc improve air quality. The use of greenery such as landscaping, ooftop\sky garden and grcen roof (intensive, extensive or hybrid system) can alleviate urban heat islands through shading and ‘evaporative cooling. The plants also provide a {green and more pleasant environment Energy Implementation 1. Double Glaze facade 2, Energy Eiticient Chiller Plant System 3, Efficient Lighting system 4. Motion Sensors and Photo-sensors for lig ‘control 5. Fficient Lift and Escalator System 6, Extensive Landscaping and Verical Greening Gi) Design for Water Efficiency {Grower has an initiative to reduce water ‘consumption by installing water efficient fittings in the building such as toilets, shower oom an panties, Also, the building links all their water ‘sub-meters tothe Building Management Systom ang0 that the facility staf can monitor the daily ‘water usage as well a8 identifying any water leakage found in the building Another Green Initiative of GTower is the provision of Rain Water harvesting system for inrigating the lage landscaping and vertical greening area found throughout the entire building, In this way, the use of portable water can be greatly reduced, ‘Water Efficient Implementation: 1. Use of “Good!” rating water efficient fitings 2. Rainwater Harvesting for landseape irigation 3. Collection af condensate water for make-up ‘water tank top up Site & Project Management Link way to LRT station will be provided to ease convenience to building tenants. During Construction, out main contractor whom are I5O 14000 certified has been constantly ‘monitoring and setting target to reduce energy, water and construction waste on site during the constuction period.

SCREEN IN THE PUMP CHAMBER cof recycled contents more than 30 % such as carpet, landscapes drainage celis, external timber wood decking, and kitchen cabinets are used during construction, The bridge bat on| the roof level is definitely worth mentioning asit utilizes many different types of recycled ‘materials in the interior as part of indoor decoration and also creating recycling awareness to the building users, Site & Project Management 1, Use for horticulture waste recycled waste 2. Implementation of elective waste management 3. Extensive use of environment friendly materials * Carpets with recycled content * External timber decking with recycled content * Landscape drainage cell with recycled iv) Indoor Environmental Quality & Environmental Protection Provisions for Carbon Monoxide (CO) ‘monitoring system in the basement car patks are made. Having a Carbon Dioxide (CO?) ‘monitoring systems, which trigger BMS to circulate air inside ofthe building to achieve better indoor air quality is available in this Green Building. To prevent from getting exposed to the ‘chemical particles in the indoor envionment, Tower was designed with use of low VOC paints. Leak detection system in the Chiller Plantroom covering all traces of refrigerant leaks is installed in the building, 1€Q Implement 1. Providing Carbon Monoxide monitoring system at basement cat parks 2. Carbon Dioxide sensors are available a all AHUs 3. Fluorescent luminaries’ ciw high frequency ballast 4, Use of VOC paint and wallpaper 5. Provision for Refrigerant leak detection system () Innovation There are innovative installations for GTower to save energy, water and waste, 1) Heat Recovery System Use of waste heat recovered from condensate ‘nts has been designed for GTower to generate hhot water for hotel rooms, thus reducing ener consumption 2) Eco-cool System Outdoor alt coolers, which ate energy efficient hhave been adopted for alfresco dining area on the oof top. 3) Eco Friendly Swimming Pool Sanitation System Salt Chlorinators for swimming poo! sanitation system has been adopted fr is pool sanitizing which results ina pure and crystal clear water. The use ofthis system allows us not to use chemicals to keep the pool clean, thus improving water quality and good environmental impact, 4) Auto-Tabe Cleaning System for Chillers The auto-tube cleaning system allows no ditto be accurnulated within the chiller tubes. The continuous accumulation of dint will cause flow rate problems, increase head pressure the plugging up of heat exchanger tubes and the degradation of heat transferability. Since the cleaning process is on a continual basis, it AR a a
