The entire development of Biopolis aims to spearhead innovation in environment performance and sustainability, and serve as a test-bed for promising environmental technologies.

Some sustainable features include a building-integrated photovoltaic or solar-powered system; “intelligent” building automation systems to optimise energy usage; a district cooling system to provide centralised chilled water supply to optimise the use of space and minimise energy costs for air-conditioning; and solar-powered LED lights with ultra capacitor as energy storage device which are now being used as a landscape feature.
