Towards a greener tomorrow.

Developed with a commitment to reducing environmental impact, Punggol Digital District incorporates green technologies and energy-efficient systems that not only conserve resources but also foster long-term sustainability. From its Green Mark Platinum buildings to the innovative smart grid and district cooling system, every element of the district has been carefully designed to create a positive environmental footprint.

Learn about Punggol Digital District's sustainable features.

Shaping a liveable district through active design.

Punggol Digital District is designed for a greener, cooler future. From a mass-engineered timber building to green spaces, the district mitigates promotes sustainable ways to work, live, play, and learn. A dedicated cycling route and seamless public transport access encourage green commutes, while solar energy and circular economy practices drive greener operations.

Passive design features for a more comfortable way of life.

Advanced simulations helped shape the district's buildings to make the most of natural light, reduce heat from the sun, and improve airflow. These efforts create a comfortable and sustainable environment, reducing heat buildup and making Punggol Digital District a better place to live and work.

A platform to make operations more efficient.

The Open Digital Platform drives both innovation and sustainability as Punggol Digital District's central operating system. It optimises energy consumption, enables predictive maintenance, and manages resources efficiently through integrated systems, enhancing the district's overall environmental performance.

A district cooling system to reduce energy use.

Punggol Digital District’s 4km District Cooling System is an important part of its sustainable design. This innovative system, along with rainwater harvesting and a Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PWCS), reduces energy consumption by up to 30% and cuts CO2 emissions by 3,700 tonnes annually, allowing for more efficient operations while reducing its environmental impact.

A smart grid to drive renewable energy adoption.

A collaboration between JTC, Univers, and PacificLight, Punggol Digital District’s smart grid is Singapore’s first district-level smart grid. This AI- and IoT-powered grid integrates solar energy and battery storage systems to provide clean, reliable power. Connected to the ODP, it also optimises energy usage by strategically redistributing demand across different times, allowing businesses to potentially save costs.

It is estimated this will reduce carbon emissions by 1,700 tonnes. The use of rooftop solar panels in the estate is also expected to generate 3,000 megawatt-hours of clean energy annually — enough to power 11,000 three-room HDB flats.

A greener commute and eco-friendly connections.

To encourage sustainable commuting, Punggol Digital District is easily accessible — whether you choose to walk, cycle, or take a bus or train.

Once you get there, the district itself is easy to navigate, thanks to a network of well connected pathways. This includes the iconic 'red bridge', part of a 2km-long Collaboration Loop that connects every building in the district.

Green spaces and biodiversity

Rooftop urban farms, integration of verdant green spaces, and a direct link to the Punggol Waterway are part of Punggol Digital District’s design to maximise space and create a greener business park. A 1.3km-long Heritage Trail is slated to open in 2026, featuring conserved trees from the area.
