Head on down to City Square Mall and experience the ECO-friendly shopping and dining atmosphere!
Standing on a piece of historic Singapore and located at the edge of the city area, did you know that this 700,000 square foot mall is Singapore’s very first Eco-mall?
It is the first Singapore mall to win the prestigious BCA Green Mark Platinum Award in 2007, and in 2008, the Cityscape Asia Real Estate Awards for Best Developer – Retail (Future).
In this issue, RepublicanPost took visited the mall to investigate what makes this award-winning mall so attractive and why YOU, your family and friends should head down there.
Eco-friendly features of the mall
Imagine being supplied with 11 million KWh (the equivalent of 416 667 days), of free electricity for your laptop at home. That is how much electricity the mall estimates to save per year! Additionally, the annual amount of water saved is comparable to that of 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
In this article, we will explore some of the features of Singapore’s very first eco mall’s efforts on practicing and educating its shoppers about environmental living.
The Green Roof.
Designed with distinct environmentally friendly features, the Green Roof aims to reduce the temperature of the Fountain Square below while allowing natural daylight to pass through.
It has solar energy harnessing capability, which powers the cool breeze system at the Fountain Square. It also promotes cross ventilation that provides better thermal comfort at the Fountain Square. Furthermore, the Green Roof has a rainwater harvesting system for non-potable use.
The Eco-kiosk.
See what this boy on the left is doing? Well if you are tired of shopping, you can stop by one of these kiosks located around the mall and maybe enlighten yourself with tips on how to be more environmentally friendly!
With 200 stores, the mall will cater to your shopping and entertainment needs, no matter how old or how young you are. With shops such as Metro Department Store, NTUC FairPrice, Charles & Keith, Cotton On and many more, it’s time that you head down here and experience the Eco shopping experience!
So what are you waiting for? Just head down to Farrer Park Station on the Northeast Line (NEL) and you can see that the mall is directly connected to the MRT station through its basement. @
