Also in Singapore, in August 2023, we added more photovoltaic panels to those already on site. The new equipment will enable us to generate an additional 4.79% of our annual energy consumption. Thanks to the new panels, the previous installations and our earlier electricity-purchasing commitments, the Asia Campus is now 100% powered by renewable energy.
Another Asia Campus innovation of the year was our experiment in March with “hybrid cooling” – in other words, reducing background levels of air conditioning and using desk fans to ensure individual comfort. People working on campus were broadly satisfied with this simple change, which resulted in a 33% reduction in energy used for cooling. Indeed, these results were so impressive that they were covered in the Australian business press!
