Exploring Keppel’s Centralised Cooling System in Tengah
In a groundbreaking move towards sustainability, global asset manager Keppel is venturing into Tengah’s centralised cooling system, revolutionizing the way residential cooling is done in Singapore.
Keppel’s Innovative Approach
Keppel’s take on the centralised cooling system involves running pipes through the kitchen, keeping them at a consistent height throughout each unit to minimize the need for joints. This strategic design not only enhances energy efficiency but also contributes to developing Tengah as a smart and sustainable HDB town.
Enhanced Cooling System
Unlike its predecessors, Keppel’s pipes will enter each flat through the kitchen, alongside gas pipes, allowing homeowners to conceal them with carpentry. The uniform height of the pipes throughout the flat reduces the risk of water leakages and ensures a consistent water pressure, maintaining a neat and visually appealing appearance.
Quality Assurance and Future Prospects
To address concerns about leaks and condensation, Keppel is utilizing high-density polyethylene pipes surrounded by industrial-grade polyurethane foam insulation. By leveraging its expertise in cooling solutions for various sectors, Keppel aims to overcome challenges seen in previous systems and provide residents with a seamless and reliable cooling experience.
From establishing an operations nerve center for round-the-clock monitoring to introducing a unique tariff rate based on consumption, Keppel is committed to delivering excellence in district cooling. The company’s dedication to innovation and sustainability sets a new benchmark in the industry, offering residents a glimpse into the future of energy-efficient living.
As Tengah continues to evolve with five distinct districts, Keppel’s centralised cooling system stands as a testament to progress and environmental consciousness. With a focus on quality, efficiency, and aesthetics, Keppel is poised to transform the landscape of public housing cooling systems, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future for all.
One day, while visiting the Keppel EaaS Experience Centre, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand the meticulous planning and innovative design behind Keppel’s centralised cooling system. As I explored the model flat, I couldn’t help but marvel at the seamless integration of technology and aesthetics, envisioning a future where sustainability and comfort go hand in hand. The dedication and passion of the staff were evident in every detail, reinforcing Keppel’s commitment to excellence and environmental stewardship. It was truly a glimpse into a future where cutting-edge technology transforms everyday living, making sustainability not just a goal but a reality for all.
