Keppel Land, Philips team up to save energy

THERE are more ways than one to go green.

Following Singapore's green building week in early September this year, local prime office developer and landlord Keppel Land entered, one week later, into a first-ever zero capital expenditure (capex) scheme with lighting giant Royal Philips to reduce energy consumption at its office buildings.

Under this agreement, Philips will, with no upfront costs to Keppel Land, replace the conventional office lamps at the latter's office premises with energy-efficient LED lighting.
