In 2021, NEX achieved the Green Mark Goldplus certification from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) on the back of enhancements to the business’s e-waste recycling programme, green procurement policies, and the implementation of a smart water management system together with its tenants.
In 2023 NEX partnered with UnaBiz, a Massive IoT service provider and integrator, to enable data-driven ventilation in the shopping mall by using Indoor Air Quality monitoring sensors. By integrating indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring with the mall’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems were used to optimise airflow and energy consumption.
The main purpose of HVAC systems is to help maintain comfort and a stable temperature. A data-driven HVAC system helps ensure good air quality for shopper’s and tenant’s wellness, while a high energy-efficiency system helps optimise energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions.
