Innovative Energy Efficient Equipment

In the interest of long-term sustainable development, we are actively exploring means to reduce energy consumption. One of the initiatives is to investigate into new and innovative energy efficient equipment and technologies for use in buildings. These cover areas for lighting, air conditioning, lifts and escalators and other miscellaneous equipment. It is estimated that the energy consumption of lighting and air-conditioning equipment accounts for about two-thirds of the total energy consumption in buildings.

Our programme, known as the Energy Management Opportunities (EMO) Implementation Programme, has been executed in two phases. The Phase 1 programme completed in 1999 with successful implementation of electronic ballasts, variable speed drives, high efficient motors, demand control AC system, etc. in Government buildings.
