SINGAPORE: The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is on a push to do its part for the environment, as it unveiled its first net energy positive building – a new eight-storey hangar that uses solar panels and natural ventilation features. The hangar at Changi Air Base (East), built for the SAF’s multi-role tanker transport, can generate 1,225 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity a year, enough to power 273 four-room Housing Board flats. This is 30 per cent more than the energy it consumes, with the leftover used in other parts of the base.
