City Square Mall bags global green award
Cited for environmental, energy design by US body
[SINGAPORE] City Square Mall, honoured by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore for being an environmentally- friendly building, has now won a globally recognised award.
It is the first mall here to win the Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design Gold Certification in the category for existing buildings, with the accolade awarded by the US Green Building Council.
It has been reported that the water and energy-efficient City Square Mall collects rainwater on its roof for the watering of plants. In its first year of operation, its green-building features were said to have saved more than 20,000 cubic metres of water, roughly the volume of 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
