At Home With Nature – The Tengah Master Plan Concept

A new project aims to provide 42,000 new homes within a “smart and sustainable town” in Singapore. The concept involves creating an environment where residents can be “at home with nature”. This concept combines solar water heaters and green technologies to make the new town as environmentally friendly as possible. It also aims to minimize the need for outdoor air conditioning.

Tengah project is Singapore’s first smart and sustainable town

The Tengah project will include a central park and a network of community farmways. These are planned to run through the town’s housing estates, gardens, play areas, and farms. The town will also include dedicated cycling and walking paths. This will make it Singapore’s first car-free town centre. The roads will be surrounded by parkland, and traffic will be routed beneath the town centre.

Tengah will also have a district cooling network similar to the one in Singapore’s Marina Bay financial district, which uses chilled water piped through buildings to cool them. These pipes will also be installed in public housing blocks. There will be five districts, each with a theme, such as community farming, garden, or forest. An integrated community hub will connect these districts to the central nature reserve of the island.

It aims to provide 42,000 new homes in an environment where residents can be “at home with nature”

The Master Plan Concept for Tengah aims to develop 42,000 new homes in an environment where residents are “at home with nature” and “at peace with the environment”. The development of the township includes various green initiatives that aim to improve the quality of life of its residents. These include the use of smart homes and systems for rainwater and common area washing.

The development will also have a forest walk that will be connected to the existing city. It will also have a nature-themed playground, fitness stations, open green spaces, and seating areas. It will also have vegetation that mimics the different layers of a tropical rainforest. The plantings will be designed to provide habitats for dragonflies, butterflies, and birds. In addition, water features will be included in the development, which will reduce the mosquito population.

It is guided by the HDB’s Smart HDB Town Framework

Tengah is a new urban development planned for about 42,000 new residential units. The development will be divided into five residential districts, each with a distinct character and focus. Each district will be designed to be “at home with nature,” with car-free zones and underground parking. This will make space for parks, cycle paths, and community farms.

The project will be eco-friendly, with a strong focus on energy efficiency. It will feature green features, including solar panels and wind turbines. It will also feature a centralized cooling system and be conveniently located to public transportation and amenities.

It uses solar water heaters to reduce the need for outdoor ACs

Solar water heaters can help reduce the need for outdoor ACs by reducing the amount of electricity used. They are an excellent choice for climates where sunlight is plentiful. They can also reduce the cost of utilities. Currently, most water heaters in homes run on electricity or natural gas.

Solar water heaters come in a variety of models and designs. The basic components include a storage tank and a solar collector. The collector contains tubes that collect solar energy. The heated water then passes through the pipes and is stored in a tank. Occasionally, electricity is needed to maintain the desired temperature, so solar collectors can also serve as backup heating systems.

It is car-free in its town centre

Tengah Master Plan Concept is a planned town that is 100 per cent car-free in its town centre. The plan has a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly urban environment with underground parking and car-free streets. The town is envisioned to house 42,000 new homes and provide an eco-friendly environment. A green corridor runs through the town and includes a 100-metre-wide forest corridor. The town centre is a car-free zone and features an integrated park and parklands system.

The new township in the west of Singapore is the first new town to be built in 20 years. The plan focuses on smart technologies and features in the development process. It will feature a car-free town centre and a five-kilometre forest corridor. The new town will also be Singapore’s first green-town development, aligned with the government’s drive to become more environmentally friendly.

It is a smart energy town

The Tengah Master Plan Concept is an urban development plan that incorporates environmental features. It focuses on minimizing emissions through lifestyle changes. For example, Tengah will feature a car-free town center. The town’s design will encourage pedestrians to walk or cycle, which will make it convenient and safe for residents. Additionally, the town center will feature charging stations for electric vehicles.

Smart energy management is also a major focus of the town’s plan. Tengah will feature a central cooling system, automated waste collection, and smart lighting. There will also be dedicated bus lanes for drivers and pedestrians. This plan will help Tengah achieve its goal of becoming a “Smart Energy Town.”
