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
