Energy Saving Strategies

A. Elevator motor
NTU-ADM has applied the Mitsubishi VVVF inverter control panel
for the elevators. VVVF stands for variable voltage and variable
frequency. According to the official website of Mitsubishi, the design
of the motor has been modified to increase its motor efficiency. The
design allow significant amount of magnetic field to be produced,
resulting in lower energy consumption and resources. By doing so,
carbon dioxide emission has been reduced. According to the chart
below, the energy consumption of VVVF system is lesser than a
conventional AC-2 system by approximately 60%
(Mitsubishielectric.com, 2014).

B. Air conditioning system
Diagram : Outdoor condensed unit

NTU-ADM has applied the environment friendly air conditioning
system, City Multi series. One condensed unit can be connected to 50
indoor units. This system only required two copper pipes instead of 3
pipes, reduced the installation cost and simple installation. The refrigerants
are circulate through two small diameter refrigerant copper pipes. This
system has applied the intelligent VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system
which controlling the variable speed compressor in the outdoor unit.
Hence, the amount of refrigerant flows from the outdoor unit according to
the setting of each indoor unit. While the outdoor unit employs the VRF
system, each indoor units has employed LEV (Linear Expansion Valve) to
meet the cooling and heating needs (Mitsubishielectric.ca, 2014).
Each indoor unit can be personalized by applying this system. For
example, indoor units that facing to east and west direction require more
cooling at certain period compare to other units. This system is able to
start and stop its operation due to the requirement of each indoor unit.
Hence, creating high ratio of cooling and heating demand. As the result, it

Motion sensor has been installed for all the toilets
and corridors in NTU-ADMN. It will automatically turn
on if it senses occupancy in the certain area. If the
area has no occupancy, the lights will automatically
turn off hence it is conventional and energy saving
technology (Sensor & Sensor, 2009).

D. Energy saving light
Diagram : Section AA Fluorescent Light

Energy saving light has been used in the NTU-ADM building.
NTU-ADM has employed fluorescent lighting by BETA lighting due to
few reasons. It has more energy efficiency compare to conventional
light bulb.
For a normal light bulb, 80% of energy is released as heat
energy, only 20% of energy is used to operate, while fluorescent light
bulb has approximately 80-90% energy operation. As it release lesser
heat energy, the surrounding temperature will not raise as much as

Water Saving Strategies

A. Dual Flush Cistern
System
Image : Dual Flush Cistern System

NTU- ADM has applied the dual flash cistern system in toilet. Dual
flush toilets are high efficiency toilet. It consumes much less water per
flush than ordinary toilets do. Standard toilets flush by using water to
siphon waste out of the toilet bowl (Poolesplumbing.com, 2014).
Naturally, using water to push water involves a great deal of waste.
However, dual flush cisterns use a small amount of water to push waste
into the trapway, which is much wider on dual flush toilets than the
standard variety, making it require less pressure to remove waste
effectively (Poolesplumbing.com, 2014) .
In addition to this water saving measure, dual flush toilets have a
"half flush" option that allows them to flush using only half as much
water. This is specifically designed for use with liquid waste, and
prevents water from being used when it is not necessary
(Poolesplumbing.com, 2014).
Building Science

B. Self- closing tap
Image : Self-closing tap

Self- closing tap has been mounted in the basin for all the toilets
in NTU- ADM. The main difference between self-closing tap and other
tap is the fact that it turns itself off after a set period of time. This is
particularly useful in commercial situations where water-saving is of the
utmost importance. It also reduces the risk of people leaving the tap on
and flooding the area (Poolesplumbing.com, 2014).
C. Wastewater separation and treatment system

Wastewater separation and treatment system have been installed
in NTU- ADM. Wastewater from the sewers flows through a pipe
connection into the wastewater separation system where the
separation of solids present in the effluents and the compaction and dewatering of the extracted solid take place. Then, the elimination of
gross solids processes take place. After the pre-treatment, the
wastewater proceeds to further treatment, whereas the de-watered
solids are ready for disposal. After finish the process, the water is again
been used in any purposes (Uscentrifuge.com, 2014).

D. Using Constructed Wetlands to Treat
Wastewater
Diagram : Wetland Treatment
Diagram : Green roof of NTU-ADM
Wetland is constructed to the green roof of NTU- ADM to treat

the wastewater. Constructed wetlands are purpose built wetlands
which are specially designed for the treatment of wastewater.
Physical, chemical, and biological processes combine in wetlands to
remove contaminants from wastewater. These processes are
fundamental not only to designing wetland systems but to
understanding the fate of chemicals once they enter the wetland
(Wetlandsystems.ie, 2014).
Wetlands are relatively inexpensive to install and can have low
to zero running costs and electricity requirements, as long as pumps
are not needed. Ideally gravity should bring the effluent down to a
constructed wetland and then on to the groundwater
(Wetlandsystems.ie, 2014).

Temperature & Climate Data

Singapore is located in the equatorial region and experience
tropical climate. Hence, the weather is hot and humid for the entire
years. Singapore does not have summer and winter season but rainy
season and dry season. According to the macroclimate graphs, the mean
highest maximum temperature is 31 degree Celsius and mean average
lowest maximum temperature is 24.15 degree Celsius. The mean
average temperature of Singapore is 27.58 Celsius degree. The mean
average rain precipitation for whole years are around 177.15mm and
reach the highest on December, while the mean average humidity level is
around 83.90%.
The climate at a particular site can be quite difference from the
climate data that are published as being representative of an entire
region. For example, Nanyang campus are located at sub-urban place
which are far away from the city. The surrounding conditions are differ
from the cities hence the data for microclimate has less accuracy to
predict the local climate data.

Wind Direction Analysis

(June - September)
Data by:(App2.nea.gov.sg, 2014)

Wind analysis included general wind analysis and local wind analysis. The
wind pattern can be affected by reasons such as plant and the building at
the surrounding. The wind distrubution is mainly from north-east and
southwest direction. The wind direction is affected by the monsoon seasons
in singapore. Acorrding to the graphs shown above, the winds are originate
from north-east direction from December to March while the winds are from
south-west direction from June to September.

16
Wind Analysis
Windbreaks are commonly used to protect outdoor areas, it can be fences or
plants. In this case, the windbreaks for Nanyang university school of art, design
and media is the plants and the building itself. There are approximately 40 plants
has been planted and arranged in two rows. The gap between the plants are
arranged around 3.5m to avoid the roots of plants intersecting and interrupt the
growth of plants. Besides, the distance between the plants will also affect the
windbreak pattern. According to Heusch (1988), if the wind velocity has been cut
too much by very close planting, it will affect the surrounding temperature rises. It
would be better to regenerate a stand of approximately 40 adult trees to cut the
wind-speed more frequently. This strategies has been applied by the project. The
effect of windbreaker influences by height of the plants, distances of plants to the
centre of Faade and windbreak lengths. The windbreak pattern is shown as in the
diagram below.

Diagram 1 : Wind breaker pattern on Section BB

Point A
Before the wind reaches the plants, it slows down and builds
pressure, and turns upwards and sideways.
Point B
It passes the obstacle (plants), it increases its speed, and
reduced pressure results at the sides of and behind obstacles.
Point C
The wind experiences increased pressure again and slow
downs.
Point D
The air pressure is lower hence the air velocity is higher.
In conclusion, wind ultimately returns to its original flow pattern after

encountering an obstacle such as a plants and buildings. These pressure
differences, flow patterns, and the size and shape of the wind-protected
areas behind the plants are important to control the air motion, inside and
outside of the building.

Venturi Effect on
Nanyang NTU
The Nanyang University School of Art, Design and Medias facades are
mostly glazed glass which may be a large disadvantage because of the
large exposed surface to the sunlight (Greensource.construction.com,
2014). Although the building will have sufficient natural lighting for the
internal spaces, the heat trapped indoor is also higher compared to
buildings that are shaded. The Venturi effect can help in introducing
wind movement into the building for natural ventilation and passive
cooling.
The Venturi effect is used along with convection current to create air
movement in the building itself and decrease room temperature.
Convection means the transfer of heat by the movement of air. Thus,
the warm air at the lower area will replace the cold air at a higher area
continuously and eventually creates an air movement in the building.
This process normally is usually slow and minimal therefore the Venturi
effect can help in accelerating the process.
Diagram 2 : Venturi Effect on Section BB

The high pressure zone and low pressure zone can create an increased
air flow over the surfaces of the building which are the green roof and
the glass faade. Cooling down the surfaces reduces heat energy
transmitted to the envelope which the heat will be conducted to the air
indoor. The flowing air that passes the envelope of the building will also
carry the warm air, which is ventilated from the interior of the building,
away to the atmosphere.

Green roof reduces water runoff from heavy rain
During heavy or continuous rain, runoff can possibly damage
waterways and rain harvesting system (GRHC WEBSITE, 2014).
The growing media of the green roof which are the volcanic rocks
and sand together with the turf grass can hold water and this water will
go into the rainwater harvesting system to be reuse. Some of the water
is returned to the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration
(evapotranspiration) (GRHC WEBSITE, 2014). Storm water that runoff
the roof is much more delayed and reduced in volume. The green roof
will filter the storm water and makes the water cleaner than the water
that runoff a conventional roof (GRHC WEBSITE, 2014).
According to the data collected by researchers from Pennsylvania
State University, it indicates that green roofs able to capture up to 80%

of rainfall compared to conventional roof which only captured 24% of
rainfall during rainy season.

Green roof is energy efficient

The green roof can lessen the rate of heat energy transfer through
the roof, and lesser amount of energy for cooling means greater cost
savings. External shading of the building envelope is proven to be more
energy efficient than internal insulation (GRHC WEBSITE, 2014).
During the day, the green roof protects the building from direct
solar heat increasing the heat energy transfer to the interior space
(GRHC WEBSITE, 2014).
During the night, the green roof reduces the loss of heat energy
due to the thick layers. Thus, green roof is great in maintaining the
temperature of the interior and balancing the heat energy transfer
(GRHC WEBSITE, 2014)Less usage of energy in the building itself
produces fewer greenhouse

Green roof improve air quality
The air quality can be improved by using green roof. Nanyang
University School of Art, Design and Media is located at sub urban area,
which is far away from the cities, hence the rate of pollution is lower
compare the buildings located in the cities. Besides that, the massive
green roof plays an important role in cleaning the air around the area.
The turf grass trap and hold dust particles in the air to reduce air
pollution that is bad for human health, and evapotranspiration of plant
helps to cool down the surrounding temperature (PCA, 2014).
Green roof reduces impurities in the air and heat that will produce
smog. Reduced Urban Heat Island profile which is increasing every year.
There is lesser need for health care services due to good air quality in
the surroundings (PCA, 2014).

The green roof fully utilises the roof and turn the rooftop into a
place for socialising and relaxing purposes as there are a lot of unused
spaces in the developing city (PCA, 2014).
The roof creates convenient and comfortable space for day care,
meetings, and recreation (PCA, 2014). It also creates a better panoramic
view for the adjacent buildings (PCA, 2014)

27
Rain Harvesting
System
Nanyang Technology University
has a large surface of green on its roof
which enables the building to serve as a water catchment area since
Singapore itself undergoes tropical climate and there is plenty of rain whole
year long. The rainwater is absorb by the green roof preventing water
runoff from the curve roof. After the rainwater is filtered by the green roof,
the water is transferred to the gutter and then down to the filtration system
underground. The rainwater will be further treated and then pump back
together with the PUB water for potable water which is also grey water.
Similar system is
used in the

Rain Harvesting System
Benefits of using Rain Harvesting System in Nanyang NTU

Rainwater Harvesting System is fitted on the green roof
for irrigation
To reducing solar gain and slowing runoff during Singapores frequent
downpours, it is irrigated using rainwater collected in storage tanks; a

moisture retention mat installed beneath the lightweight soil also helps
keep the grass consistently damp under the sun.
The rainwater harvesting system helps to reduce the impact on the
environment by reducing the use of fuel based machines. It is suitable for
irrigation and watering garden because the rainwater is free from many
chemicals found in ground water and also free from pollutants as well as
salts, minerals, and other natural and man-made contaminants, so, it is
good for irrigation and plant thrive.
The automatic irrigation system tends to use a lot of water very quickly,
so it can only be used as part of very large rainwater harvesting systems
that feature large storage tanks. There systems are typically designed
and installed by professionals.

Rainwater Harvesting Helps
Reduce Floods & Soil
Erosion
The rainwater harvesting system not only reduces dependence on ground
water and the amount of money spent on water, but also reduces off-site
flooding and erosion by holding rainwater on the green roof. During the rainy
season, rainwater is collected in a large storage tanks which also helps in
reducing floods in some low lying areas. Besides, it helps in reducing
contamination of surface water with pesticides and fertilizers from rainwater
run-off (Conserve-Energy-Future, 2014).
Rainwater harvesting also can reduce salt accumulation in the soil which can
be harmful to root growth. When collected, rainwater filters into the soil,
forcing the salt down and away from the root zone area. This allows for
greater root growth and water uptake, which increases the drought tolerance
of the grass (Conserve-Energy-Future, 2014).
Diagram : Rain Harvesting System(Conserve-Energy-Future, 2014)

30
Rainwater Harvesting System Is Easy To Maintain

The system uses simple technologies that are inexpensive and easy to
maintain. The maintenance of the system requires little time and energy. The
result is the collection of water that can be used in substantial ways even
without purification (Paul Mansfield, 2014). The operation and maintenance of
rainwater harvesting system is controlled by the individual without having to
rely upon the maintenance practices of a municipally controlled water system
(Conserve-Energy-Future, 2014).
Diagram : (Paul Mansfield, 2014)
Rainwater Harvesting System Can Be Used As A Backup

Source To Municipal Water
The rainwater harvesting system provides an independent water supply
during regional water restrictions and in developed countries is often used
to supplement the main supply (Commonfloor.com, 2014). It provides
water when there is a drought, can help mitigate flooding of low-lying
areas, and reduces demand on wells which may enable ground water
levels to be sustained. In addition, it also helps in the availability of
potable water as rainwater is substantially free of salinity and other salts
(Paul Mansfield, 2014).
