Green Features

Triple Glazed Facade Glass

Over time, triple glazing has become more and more popular, and it is now widely accepted. In fact, they are very well-liked in countries with colder climates. They are excellent at absorbing the warmth of the sun's rays and then transferring it into the rooms. These windows, which work best for larger windows, also have a glass pane with solar control and self-cleaning properties.

Power Saving Lighting

Using energy-efficient LEDs to create an unforgettable silhouette along Singapore's magnificent skyline on the building façade and roof crown is another exciting feature of OFC.

Photovoltaic (PV) cells

With more than 400 m2 of solar PV panels capturing 75kWp of solar energy, the building has the largest PV system for a high-rise commercial building in the CBD area. It will be Singapore's highest PV assembly, rising to a height of about 250 m AMSL from the top of one of the city state's tallest structures.

Regenerative drive lifts

Every elevator for passengers is equipped with a regenerative drive that recycles energy typically wasted during braking, sending it back into the building to power other functions and therefore reducing the total amount of energy consumed.

Eco Switch

A switch that can be programmed to allow occupants to adjust the temperature of their air conditioning and the brightness of their lighting during periods of low usage and lunch breaks to meet their preferences.

Paper Recycling

Utilizing recycled paper reduces the need to cut down as many trees as new paper would otherwise require, protecting natural resources. Recycling services can occasionally be more affordable than trash removal services. Paper recycling reduces air pollution from incineration and frees up landfill space.

Greenery

OCF will support Singapore's efforts to promote green and sustainable living by including substantial vertical green walls for a cooler and greener environment and lush sky gardens so that residents can take advantage of nature even at work.

Water Efficiency

To conserve water, strategies such as implementing water-efficient fixtures, installing sub-meters to track usage and detect leaks, and collecting rainwater for irrigation purposes are employed.
