Executive Summary
Singapore is located at the north of the equator and with high
precipitation rate throughout the year makes Singapore a hot and humid country.
Singapore could experience higher temperature in the future.
Many Singaporeans who are living in HDB flat now are feeling
uncomfortably hot as the indoor temperature increases due to the heat being trapped
particularly on the east and west façade walls. As a result, HDB dwellers tends
to switch on the air conditioner and fan causing an increase of energy
consumption.
Water-Cooled façade wall is a method that utilizes harvested
rainwater to run through PVC pipes which are embedded inside the walls using
gravity feeds. Water-Cooled façade wall is able to reduce heat gain on the east
and west façade walls which will ultimately reduce indoor temperature for
greater energy efficiency and sustainability.
Water-Cooled façade wall is a solution that can reduces the
amount of thermal heat trapped indoors, decreases the amount of energy
consumption and minimizes the damage to the ozone layer by reducing the
emission of harmful greenhouse gases.
The benefits of Water-Cooled façade wall are reduction in
thermal heat trapped indoors, reduction in the amount of energy consumption,
and reduction in the damage to the ozone layer.
Water-Cooled façade wall is a beneficial, simple and
innovative method that reduces heat gain on east and west façade wall. It will
contribute towards the conservation and improvement of our environment for a
sustainable development.
