DAIKIN GREEN BUILDING
Daikin is transitioning its facilities towards a green building. Some of the key actions implemented in Daikin Green Building are:
Energy Savings
1
Adopting advanced technologies in our VRV system for greater energy savings in aircon.
2
Updating building lights to energy efficient LED.
3
Window films to reduce the solar heat intake from outdoor.
4
Scheduled timing and temperature settings for HVAC system. Adopting Go25 initiatives approved by SGBC, setting indoor air-conditioning to 25°C to save energy, cuts costs, and fighting the urban heat island effect.
5
Installation of solar panels on building roof generating 10% of power used by the building and generate certificates for RECs.
Renewable Energy
Daikin Singapore demonstrates its strong commitment to sustainability by purchasing and redeeming Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which support renewable energy generation and help reduce greenhouse gas (Scope 2) emissions. This initiative marks a key milestone in the company’s sustainability journey and reflects its proactive approach to decarbonization while signaling its commitment to customers, employees, and investors. By leveraging RECs and developing energy-efficient products and solutions, Daikin Singapore contributes to lowering both its own and its customers’ energy consumption. The company also supports the local green economy through the purchase of local RECs and aims to achieve a 25% renewable energy target by 2025, reinforcing its role in accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy.
*Scope 2 emissions encompass emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heating, or cooling by a company. These emissions occur at the facility where the electricity is generated, rather than at the company's own facilities.
Water Savings
- Minimising water consumption through 3 ticks WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling) fittings
- Scheduled timing for plant irrigation depending on weather
Building Optimization
- Increase efficiency through Smart Office integration
- Real time data collection to enhance energy management
- Adopt our advanced control systems (I touch manager, Reiri, and Marutto, RMS) that automatically regulate our buildings HVAC system to minimize wastage
- Reduce grid power consumption through the installation of 191 solar panels
Optimization through Smart Office, real time data collection, advance control system, and solar panels
Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
- Create conducive work environment through adequate fresh air supply and removal of TVOCs (Formaldehyde)
- Optimize indoor air quality with Streamer technology from Daikin Air Purifiers
- Minimize risk of respiratory ailments through MERV 8 filter and Bio Anti Body filters
- Prevent Mold Growth with Anti Mold filters
- Upkeep HVAC system through regular maintenance, Steam Cleaning, and Duct Cleaning.
- Enhance indoor air quality with Daikin’s Indoor Smart Eco System and at the same time producing fresh organic vegetables for staff consumption
- Counter low humidity levels with Daikin’s latest air purifier with built in humidification function

Before After
IEQ implementations towards Green Building:
Air Purifier, Filters, Steam Cleaning
Green Landscaping
- Green walls at roof area to reduce heat into the building
- Greenery and trees in the building premises to enhance environment friendly landscaping
Trees, plants and green wall towards green landscaping
Waste Management
- Promote 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) among staff
- Waste segregation into Recycled & General Waste
Waste management to segregate recycled and general wastes
Sustainability is the path Daikin would walk on.
We have the ability to make a surprisingly extraordinary economy: one that can re-establish biological communities and ensure nature while delivering advancement, success, significant work, and genuine security.
