Strategy
Atelier Ten are providing mechanical and electrical engineering design to completion and masterplan sustainability consultancy. The main gardens include two biomes representing cool dry conditions of the Mediterranean springtime and the cool moist conditions of tropical mountain regions. Atelier Ten has developed innovative strategies controlling these for conditions within the naturally hot humid environment of Singapore, while minimising energy demand to exemplar levels. External supertree structures coupled with liquid desiccant systems provide cool air to the biomes. These also incorporate photovoltaics, solar thermal panels and rainwater harvesting.
Waste generated by Singapore’s National Parks will be diverted from landfill and used as a source of biomass to generate energy for use throughout the gardens. In addition, Atelier Ten have developed sustainable management matrices to establish agreed principles of design and construction to exceed benchmarks establish by LEED™, Singapore’s BCA Green Mark scheme and One Planet Living approaches.
