Additional observation


This is a solar panel found outside a factory at Braddell. With a height of roughly 175cm above the ground, the solar panel is placed at about 35 to 45 degrees. We are unsure of what is the solar panel powering, and it was deserted outside the factory as it was a Sunday. However, this thing may look familiar to some of us who have went to Ah Tok's house at Pulau Ubin, which contains battery inside the metal cabin. Nevertheless, it is good to have a solar panel powering something useful. Energy saving hooray!

It was directly outside the main gate of the factory, no trees nearby and good orientation for sunlight.


A blur picture, but we can see that the roof of the building is actually full of grass, which amazed us as we don't see this kind of design often. With a green roof and plants around the building, it helps to cool down the building, which in turn saves electricity as air-conditional usage will be reduced. We believe that this is part of CEM student's ideal house, a house that helps to save energy and environment!
