CDL has adopted 25°C as the standard for indoor temperature for all its corporate offices, balancing energy efficiency with occupant comfort. This is part of the real estate developer’s commitment to climate action and low-carbon innovation.

Over 100 bladeless Hybrid Cooling Fans were also installed and equipped with vortex technology to enhance airflow and ensure thermal comfort, while reducing reliance on energy-intensive air-conditioning. This initiative is projected to reduce cooling load by around 20%, translating to an estimated annual carbon reduction of over 14,000 kgCO₂e.
 
To complement this and battle Singapore’s heat, CDL has also implemented a business casual dress code policy to promote comfort in a higher temperature setting since October 2024.

According to a recent staff survey, the new dress code was well-received with over 85% of respondents showing strong support, affirming the effectiveness of this holistic approach.

These initiatives mark a meaningful step forward in our journey towards net-zero where every small change adds up to a larger climate impact.
