DBS has opened Singapore’s first net-zero building by a bank, as part of the bank’s goal of achieving net-zero operational carbon by the end of the year.

Located at 135 Bukit Timah Road, the refurbished DBS Newton Green houses over 400 employees from various functions across the bank’s consumer banking group.

Before retrofitting works began, the 30-year-old building consumed about 845 MWh each year, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of about 200 four-room HDB homes in Singapore.
