Summary
The Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) eco-campus in the Punggol Digital District in Singapore is an award-winning model of sustainability and innovation in school building design. Consolidating six satellite locations, this state-of-the-art campus integrates seamlessly with industry and the community, reinforcing SIT’s applied learning approach. Designed with cutting-edge sustainable features, the campus includes two Super Low Energy buildings that reduce energy consumption by at least 40 %, Southeast Asia’s first Multi-Energy Microgrid (MEMG) with 10,000 square meters of solar panels capable of powering 1,000 four-room flats annually and a District Cooling System that enhances energy efficiency by 30 % over conventional cooling methods.
Complementing this initiative is the campus’ District Cooling System, which optimizes energy use across key facilities, including classrooms, laboratories, the library, multipurpose hall, auditorium, food court and administrative spaces. By efficiently regulating cooling needs, this system is expected to achieve substantial reductions in both electricity consumption and SIT’s overall carbon footprint.
