Building 7-Gen Communities
using electrification, and tight building envelopes.
To meet the IPCC target of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, the world will have to curb carbon emissions by at least 49% by 2030, and then achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Natural gas is the primary heating fuel for most buildings constructed today.
With a life cycle of 60-100 years, these buildings will be forced to retrofit to cleaner energy sources in order to meet IPCC targets. Add in increasing taxes on natural gas, pricing volatility, methane leaks arising from its distribution, and the health costs of combustion byproducts, and it should be apparent why our 7-Gen Communities are built with zero-gas energy sources.
Because it is a rare electricity grid that runs without some fossil carbon feedstocks, where practical, we go a step beyond mere electrification and install distributed energy systems powered by renewable sources such as solar energy.
Clean energy sources are complemented by a well-designed, tight building envelope. This includes high-efficiency window insulation, and air-source heat pumps to generate heating and cooling. ERV (energy recovery ventilator) technology rounds out the picture to keep these buildings healthy as well as efficient.
See the principle of Low-Carbon, No Gas Operations in action through our EVE Park and West 5 development projects.
The result is a comfortable environment with fresh, well-oxygenated, healthy air, and a low carbon footprint.
Principles for Sustainable Communities
Renewable-powered distributed energy systems are driving Next-Gen AI Data Centres and 7-Gen Communities — delivering resilient, sustainable infrastructure that powers innovation and strengthens our shared future.
We prioritize the responsible use of water — integrating efficient renewable systems that support both 7-Gen Communities and Next-Gen AI Data Centres.
Our innovative approach — from building sustainable, future-ready communities to developing Next-Gen AI data centres with clean energy solutions — is key to reducing embodied carbon and driving lasting impact.
Designing sustainable transportation options to reduce the carbon footprint of communities.
Innovations such as carousel parking within sustainable communities allows for the use of park-like green spaces where parking lots once dominated.
Building sustainable communities with smart renewable energy and green construction, and developing Next-Gen AI Data Centres engineered for low operational carbon impact.
We aim to restore disturbed land, creating new urban assets with minimal disruption of foodland and natural habitats.
