Nearly 1,000 households have signed up for the centralised cooling system (CCS) in the upcoming "forest town" of Tengah, where some 8,000 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats have been launched so far. Home owners who opt for the energy-efficient system will save around 15 to 20 per cent in upfront costs and up to 30 per cent in life cycle costs, SP Group, which runs the system in Tengah, said on Monday (Oct 19). The CCS is one of many smart features that will be implemented in Tengah, the town billed as a "smart energy" one powered by artificial intelligence. Under the CCS, chilled water will be piped to homes from centralised chillers installed on the rooftops of selected Housing Board (HDB) blocks. This is more energy-efficient compared with conventional air-conditioning systems, said SP Group. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/housing/nearly-1000-households-in-tengah-have-signed-up-for-centralised-cooling-system?utm_source=emarsys&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ST_Newsletter_PM&utm_term=Nearly+1%2C000+households+in+Tengah+sign+up+for+centralised+cooling+system&utm_content=19%2F10%2F2020
