natural airflow, the envelope of the
buildings.
had to calibrate permeability and shade. .
The significant amount of space dedicated to
living nature and the preference for organic
over hard-edged forms creates a visual oasis
within Singapore's dense city center. Views
of nature have been shown to lower blood
pressure and heart rate, improve mental
engagement and awareness and positively
impact attitude and overall happiness. These
implicit reactions may translate into a desire
to
spend more time in the hotel’s public spaces,
and to plan return visits to the hotel in the
future. In addition, the high exterior visibility
of the hotel’s natural forms and gardens
provide local residents with an opportunity to
experience the same positive health effects.

CONSIDERING LEED CERTIFICATIONS
 LEED - 2011 (CS 2009)

1. VEGETATION -
Sites with Zoning Ordinances but No Open Space Requirements
Provide vegetated open space equal to 20% of the project site area.

Development Density and Community Connectivity, vegetated

roof areas can contribute to credit compliance. (PG-35)

2. STORMWATER -
Design the project site to maintain natural stormwater flows by promoting infiltration.
Specify vegetated roofs,
pervious paving and other measures to minimise impervious surfaces. Reuse stormwater for non-potable uses
such as landscape irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing, and custodial uses. (PG-36)

Potential Technologies & Strategies

Use alternative surfaces (e.g., vegetated roofs, pervious pavement, grid pavers) and nonstructural techniques
(e.g., rain gardens, vegetated swales, disconnection of imperviousness, rainwater recycling) to reduce
imperviousness and promote infiltration and thereby reduce pollutant loadings.
Use sustainable design strategies (e.g., low-impact development, environmentally sensitive design) to create
integrated natural and mechanical treatment systems such as constructed wetlands, vegetated filters and open
channels to treat stormwater runoff. (PG-37)

3. HEAT ISLANDS - Heat islands are defined as thermal gradient differences between developed and undeveloped
areas.

Consider replacing constructed surfaces (e.g., roof, roads, sidewalks, etc.) with vegetated surfaces such
as vegetated roofs and open grid paving or specify high-albedo materials, such as concrete, to reduce heat
absorption. (PG-38)

Install a vegetated roof that covers at least 50% of the roof area.
