1. http://ecocampus.ntu.edu.sg EcoCampus @ NTU An integrated approach to urban sustainability in the tropics 2. * Launched In Collaboration with: Launch Industry Partners: EcoCampus Launch: April 2014 Launched on 30th April 2014 by Minister S. Iswaran EcoCampus featured in Singapores Sustainability Blueprint 2015, which outlines the nations visions and plans on sustainable development. (Link: SSB2015) As a high-impact integrated Living Lab, the EcoCampus will create exciting green-collar jobs, raise our international standing, and inspire Singaporeans to adopt sustainable practices - Minister S. Iswaran 3. * 35% Reduction in energy, water and waste intensity Education & Research Living Laboratory Industry Collaboration EcoCampus: An Integrated Framework To demonstrate impactful results on energy efficiency and sustainability 4. * RD&D Demonstration Projects New Construction Best Solutions from Phase-1 applied in Phase-2 10% 20% 35% Energy,waterandwastereduction Best practice guidelines Phase 1: Apr. 2014 - 2016 Phase 2: 2016 ~ 2020 Development Phase: Sept. 2011 ~ Sept. 2013 Testbedding Baselining & Planning Implementation Verification & Documentation Awareness & Planning Existing Building Maintenance Commission Systems & performance review Energy Savings in select buildings E-10 Initiative at NTU Campus Awareness for Energy Efficiency Awareness Capital Expenditure Driven EcoCampus: Implementation plan 5. * EcoCampus: A living laboratory Total area Built-up Space Population (Students & staff) Buildings on Campus Students in Residence 250 hectares 10 million sq.ft 40,000 > 100 10,000 A super test-bed for innovative technologies in tropical megacities 6. * EcoCampus: A living laboratory Video of Virtual Campus 7. * EcoCampus: A living laboratory New Residential Halls Opening: Sept 2014 New technologies implemented: Passive ventilation | 300 solar panels | Dual refuse chutes | Composting| Double-glazed windows 8. * EcoCampus: A living laboratory New technologies implemented: Passive displacement ventilation | Vertical and rooftop greenery | Energy efficient lighting | Highly efficient chilled water system | Hydrophylic polymer for moisture distribution Passive displacement ventilation principle The Learning Hub Opening: August 2015 9. * EcoCampus: A living laboratory The largest installation of PV at one location in Singapore 5MWp in total to meet 5% of annual energy use 10. * EcoCampus: A living laboratory Test-bedding innovative cooling methods for the tropics Chilled ceilings for offices Liquid immersion cooling for datacenters Chilled ceiling installed at the 425 m2 office of the Energy Research Institute at NTU is the first large-scale installation of chilled ceilings in Singapore and has been in operation since 2012. A liquid immersion cooling test-bed for data centers is currently being designed to cool 20kW of IT at the high performance computing centre at NTU. Project has started and the setup will be completed by Oct 2015. Collaborator: Collaborator: 11. * EcoCampus: Industry Collaboration* Joule Air Delta * Including ongoing and under discussion 12. * EcoCampus: Industry Collaboration* Sustainability Impact Achieve energy efficiency (EE) and energy conversation (EC) of up to 30% by novel Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) Innovative Element Highly efficient SEMS, Seamless integration of AC/DC building grid Demonstration Site: CTO Office Spaces Lab spaces Common areas Collaborator: Project: Smart AC and DC Management Systems for Green Buildings 13. * EcoCampus: Industry Collaboration* Image source: Siemens Collaborator: Project: Crowdsourcing, behavioral change, gamification for energy efficiency Sustainability Impact Energy savings through changing and improving user behaviour and coordination Innovative Element Application of a complete technical and sociological approach in order through gamification Demonstration Site: NTU campus wide all academic facilities, administrative buildings, and residence halls 14. * EcoCampus: Industry Collaboration* Sustainability Impact Improve chiller plant operational efficiency, which is important because chiller plants typically consume 50 60% of buildings total electricity Innovative Element Uses automatic control via intelligent algorithms based on real-time operational data. Proven in temperate climates, needs adaptation for tropical climates.
