160 × 400W metal-halide lights

Lights consume high electricity even during daytime

Poor ventilation

Factory becomes hot every afternoon

Rusting steel

Leftover concrete discarded

No recycling programme

Materials simply scrapped or thrown away

# data[].attributes.body
unused concrete materials are not well protected and left to harden which had to be broken down for scrap

Leftover concrete waste

Raw materials left in open yard

Old T8 fluorescent lighting

Poor building orientation creates heat gain

Air-conditioning struggles

Employees use personal fans

Others use electric heaters

Poor indoor air quality

Poor ventilation

55% of energy used for office AC. Assuming that the aircon is replaced with 0.9kw/ton VRF system, there is substantial energy savings of at about 25%.

Factory Sustainability Issues

High energy consumption from production equipment.

Compressed air leaks causing energy losses.

Excessive water usage in cleaning and operations.

Poor segregation of production waste and recyclables.

Idling forklifts and vehicles generating unnecessary emissions.

Packaging material waste from incoming and outgoing goods.

Noise pollution affecting workers and surrounding areas.

Heat generated from machinery increasing cooling requirements.

# data[].attributes.body
Ventilation is poor due to no windows, stale air is being circulated which is bad for healthy. Should someone fall sick, spreading of virus is very fast within an enclosed area.

# data[].attributes.body
* Appliances and lighting are frequently left on even when not in use.

Many workers use elevators even for short-distance travel between adjacent floors, often due to employees, particularly women, wearing high-heeled shoes

How does one even start looking for the leaks?

Sounds like a complex and complicated problem

Energy Consumption:

• Lit by 160 metal halide downlights at 400W each → extremely high-power consumption.

• Lighting remains operational even during daylight hours → avoidable energy waste.

# data[].attributes.body
Poor ventilation and uneven thermal comfort

# data[].attributes.body
Employees use lifts for short-distance travel between floors, esp female staff wearing high heels

High paper consumption
- High use of A3 and A1 paper.

Company Vehicles

Petrol/diesel vehicles for site & HQ travel.

# data[].attributes.body
Frequent diesel-driven inbound and outbound deliveries

# data[].attributes.body
High consumption of A4, A3 and A1 paper.

Single-sided paper is often discarded.

Heavy reliance on hard-copy filing.`````

Old drawings, computers, printers and unused furniture occupy about 20% of office space.

Rusting unused steel accumulates in the waste area.

Leftover concrete is allowed to harden and later broken down for scrap.

Dust and debris are found around the factory and open yard.

No formal recycling programme is in place.

Minor water leaks are found around the factory premises.

Lighting mainly T8 fluorescent tubes, plus 160 metal halide downlights at 400W each

Health & Productivity — SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being)

1. Poor indoor air quality.

2. Inadequate ventilation.

3. Some office areas are too warm while others are too cold due to poor air circulation.

4. Comfort and health issues may affect productivity.
