TOWARDS A GREENER CLUB

Sustainability has long been a key pillar of the Club’s operations. Through careful planning and effective management, the Club was able to achieve approximately $782,000 in energy cost savings by introducing new energy efficient initiatives and building on existing ones. After converting all of the light fixtures in the Car Park to energy-saving LED lights, the Club is proud to say that it has successfully optimized the entire clubhouse’s lighting system. In addition, all of the lights in the Squash courts have been replaced to more reliable LED tubes, resulting in better lighting and higher cost savings.

To respond to the rising number of electric vehicles on Singapore’s roads, the Club installed two Electric Vehicle Chargers at the Level 1 Car Park. The Air Handling Unit at The 2nd Floor’s kitchen has also been replaced with a more efficient unit, resulting in a 20% increase in efficiency. By ensuring that the Club’s heavy equipment and spare parts were well maintained throughout the year, it eliminated the need for new purchases and repairs, thereby achieving cost savings of $316,900. The cancellation of print magazine subscriptions and rebates from broadcasters also yielded savings of $254,500.
