Background
Since the 1990s, sustainability has been integrated into CDL’s corporate vision and mission to create enhanced value for business and stakeholders. CDL strives to incorporate green technologies in its developments. Irwell Hill Residences comprises a 540 unit luxury residential development across two towers of 36 floors in Singapore’s District 9.
Solution implemented
Ampd Energy’s battery system, the ‘Enertainer’, was installed in the first quarter of 2022 and powered two of the tower cranes used in the construction for Irwell Hill Residences.
Outcome delivered
From operating data collected on site, the implementation of the Ampd Enertainer resulted in significant carbon emissions reduction and operating cost savings. In 9 months of operation, Ampd helped CDL abate 150 tonnes of CO2 (83% reduction), reduce operating cost by 27%, and save 70,000 litres of diesel. There was also a significant reduction in noise pollution, and a saving of ~700 manhours due to reduced maintenance requirements (i.e. no refuelling, no periodic changing of filters, lubrication, etc). Diesel storage hazards were eliminated, reducing the risks associated with fire, spillage, and pilferage. The 24/7 IOT-enabled system saw improved levels of power availability at ~99.8% uptime, and allowed CDL to monitor the usage and condition of the equipment remotely.
