Goal 1: Maximizing Utilization of Renewable Energy and Resources

  • Measure:  Percentage of renewable energy used
  • Targets:
    • Minimally acceptable value: 50%
    • Desired/target value: 80%
  • Strategies:
    • Implement a large-scale solar power station on the roof, designed to maximize solar energy generation
    • Utilize Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Design, make solar panels as an integral part of the building's architectural elements, including facades and windows
    • Design the building to utilize natural airflow and sunlight, reducing the energy need for artificial lighting and air ventilation
    • Implement systems to collect and reuse rainwater for landscaping and non-potable water uses, reducing the demand on external water supplies.

Goal 2: Enhancing Visitor Engagement and Integration with Surrounding Environment

  • Measure:  Green space ratio and building's ecological footprint
  • Targets:
    • Minimally acceptable value: Green space ratio of 30%
    • Desired/target value: Green space ratio of 50%
  • Strategies:
    • Design of solar panel greenhouses extending outward to expand green space
    • Integrate green roofs and living walls to increase biodiversity and reduce the heat
    • Incorporate gardens on different levels of the building to create a vertical green landscape.

Goal 3: Sustainable Material Usage

  • Measure:  Percentage of sustainable materials used in the overall construction and interior fit-out
  • Targets:
    • Minimally Acceptable Value: 50% sustainable materials
    • Desired/Target Value: 75% sustainable materials
  • Strategies:
    • To reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation, source building materials from local manufacturers and suppliers. This also supports the local economy
    • Utilizing and Incorporating materials that have been recycled or are easily recyclable
    • Use materials that comply with green building certifications like LEED, ensuring that the materials meet certain environmental and sustainability standards.
