Robinson’s is currently constructing solar panels on its roof top. The cost savings in its electricity is estimated to be 20% compared to its existing power bill. It also started embarked on a lighting retrofitting program displacing CFLs to LED lighting fixtures. On top of this, the management is replacing old chillers with water cooled types.

Case Studies in Asia


Hashtgerd New Town, Iran A master plan for low carbon and resilient housing

•  Climate-sensitive urban form based on passive design. N-S orientation reduces cooling demand by 23%.

•  Compactness reduces thermal loss: Mean SA:V ratio is 0.47

•  Building configuration produces shades (6% reduction in cooling)

•  Green spaces induces micro-climate during hot months.

•  Efficient public transport in a mixed and dense urban structure

•  Integrated energy & water systems •  High quality pedestrian infrastructure •  WW treatment system (50% reuse)

Cloughjordan EcoVillage, Ireland Sustainability community living and rural regeneration

•  The planners confined the residential area to about one-third of the 27-ha site closest to the main street

•  Further area devoted to support services and amenities including a district heating system, an eco-enterprise centre, allotments for growing food, and a community farm.

•  Planted 17,000 trees dedicated to woodlands.

•  The Farm is based on a model of farming called Community Supported Agriculture
