SINGAPORE: Almost 10,000 households have signed up for the new, and reportedly more energy-efficient, Centralised Cooling System (CCS) offered to would-be HDB residents in Tengah since 2020. The system uses centralised chillers installed at the top of HDB blocks to cool the water, which will be piped down to flats to cool the interiors. …

The system uses centralised chillers installed at the top of HDB blocks to cool the water, which will be piped down to flats to cool the interiors.The big draw was that this would not only eliminate the need for conventional air-conditioning units but also lessen the operational and maintenance expenses of households.A few photos of the cooling system were shared online recently and have caused dismay.
“I cancelled because I realised that it is really very unsightly,” a Mr Lim told CNA, concerned over the size of the system’s trunking. The trunking can be hidden by covering it up, but this, of course, comes at the expense of the new homeowner.
