Our Resort• Currently there are no holiday resorts
for tourists due to lack of energy- our green resort will provide tourists
with self sufficient, renewable and clean energy
• Pulau Ubin does not draw electricity from Singapore’s main power grid- too expensive to lay transmission
cables just for a small demand- About 100 villagers rely on energy
from diesel generators
Energy SourceSolar energy
◦Solar technology readily available in Singapore
◦Situated on the roofs of villas◦Energy used to power light bulbs and
air conditioning
Reduces the use of electricity from fossil fuels as much as possible
MaterialsMain structure - Concrete - Will be proportionately surrounded by
greenery - Practical - Will not stand out too glaringlyFurniture - Parquet wood - Preserves the rustic environment of
Ubin - More eco-friendly
