At this morning’s SGBC Learning Journey to HY at the JTC Corporation Punggol Digital District (PDD), more than 30 SGBC Member representatives and Green Mark Professionals explored a simple but powerful idea: sustainability works best when it scales beyond a single building to the entire district. Beyond an introduction to HY’s newly renovated green office premises, participants also got the opportunity to experience some of PDD’s sustainability features.
Here are some key highlights from the insightful session:
- District-First Thinking: How PDD’s masterplan — including district cooling, energy efficiency, greenery and sustainable mobility — creates the foundation for greener buildings within it.
- Deep Dive into Certifications: How office design and fit-out can be shaped by and aligned with Green Mark for Interiors (GMI), LEED and WELL certifications.
- Digital Twin Demo: A live demonstration showcasing how digital technologies can support smarter building operations and decision-making.
- PDD Campus Highlights Walkthrough: Experiencing PDD’s sustainability features firsthand, from biophilic design to mobility infrastructure.
A big thank you to SGBC Member HY M&E for sharing the rationale behind their move to PDD, and to all participants who joined us to discover how collaboration with other organisations within the District builds a connected ecosystem — where shared sustainability ambitions at the district level drive innovation across every building within it.
