Dow and Singapore Sports Hub Partner on Sustainable Building Design
MIDLAND, MI – Dow recently announced a carbon partnership agreement with Singapore Sports Hub, a state-of-the-art, fully integrated sports, entertainment and lifestyle hub. It is reportedly the first and largest public-private-partnership (PPP) sports facility infrastructure project in the world and is owned and operated by SportsHub Pte Ltd. This collaboration also marks the first carbon mitigation project in Singapore under Dow’s carbon partnership with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), as well as the first property owner collaboration within the program. Dow’s 10-year participation in The Olympic Partner program as well as its tenure as the Official Carbon Partner of the IOC concluded at the end of 2021.
Singapore Sports Hub provides a blueprint for what is possible in terms of adaptable, integrated building design, from its intentional multi-use concept to a commitment to using sustainable materials. Together, Dow and Singapore Sports Hub worked with urban planning firm Arup to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions based on the facility’s energy efficiency performance during its operational lifetime. Reductions successfully surpassed local building codes and stringent sustainable requirements for public buildings in Singapore. This was made possible in part by the combined experience and expertise of organizations including DP architects, Arup, and AECOM, making the most of materials/components through design, effective implementation and efficient operation.
