Balancing the need to mitigate rising temperatures whilst keeping carbon emissions low is challenging for most developers but not for GuocoLand, whose latest project, Lentor Mansion, addresses both concerns.n is equipped with rooftop solar panels across its six residential blocks, offsetting energy consumption in common areas by 60%, well above the minimum 30% replacement required by the Building and Construction Authority to grant a Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification.
To further mitigate heat, GuocoLand also used specialised glass and high-quality stone polymer composite vinyl flooring in the units ofChng said the special glass can reduce heat gain within the units. Meanwhile, the stone polymer composite vinyl flooring, apart from being a greener product, is also water, scratch, and stain resistant.
Beyond the construction materials and fixtures, GuocoLand paid special attention to the building’s orientation to minimise heat and achieve maximum ventilation in the development. “We believe that residents will benefit from living in an environment that has a lot of greenery. We're able to also borrow greenery from the nearby Hillock Park, expanding the landscape and greenery views,” Chng said.For its next project, Ong said GuocoLand will place an “even greater emphasis on preserving the biodiversity of its surroundings.”
