Landscaping, Microclimate and Water Management Systems

Eco-toilets are all equipped with low-flow sanitaryware and greywater recycling systems. One of the toilets has blackwater recycling treatment and waterless urinal. Native plants together with stormwater harvesting and water-efficient irrigation system have been used to reduce water consumption for irrigation. In addition, an artificial wetland with subsurface flow is integrated to treat greywater / stormwater using the roots of the plants.

Green Coverage
47% of the site is covered by greenery which helps lower the air temperature by up to 1°C.
Urban Native Woodland
The planted urban native woodland area of approximately 2,000m2 includes 135 native trees of over 40 different species and a diversity of native shrubs, providing food and shelter to attract native wildlife to the city.
Green Walls
Rapidly growing species are selected. The green walls are also resistant to strong wind and can be easily replaced.
Constructed Wetland
Rainwater from sloped roof drips towards the constructed wetland which filters the water through the roots of plants before passing to the recycled water system.
Microclimate Monitoring Stations
Four on-site microclimate monitoring stations gather information on solar, wind, temperature and humidity to coordinate microclimate conditions with desired comfort for interior space.
Storm Water Harvesting
A 180m3 rainwater storage tank is installed to store rainwater processed from constructed wetland and landscape area for irrigation.
Water-efficient Fixtures
Water-efficient sanitary such as low-flow basins, shower heads, dual flow water closets and waterless urinal are installed to reduce about 40% of water consumption than that of conventional fixture.
