Punggol New Campus:
Scheduled to be completed in 2024. !!
Aiming to obtain SLE (Super Low Energy) certification established by the Singapore Construction Bureau.
What is SLE certification?
SLE certification is
The energy required in a conventional building,
For buildings that reduce energy saving by 40% or more
It’s the certification given.
AGC PV Glass:
AGC’s solar-powered glass building materials are used for campus food court skylights.
It is used as one of the energy sources on campus.

AGC’s Photovoltaic Glass Adopted by Singapore Institute of Technology
AGC Inc.
has announced that its photovoltaic glass has been adopted at the Singapore Institute of Technology’s new Punggol campus, scheduled to open in 2024.
The new Punggol campus of the Singapore Institute of Technology
is scheduled to be the first in Southeast Asia to install an urban multi-energy microgrid*1
that will decentralize energy sources and enable the effective use of local renewable energy sources,
with the aim of obtaining the Super Low Energy (SLE) certification established by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority.
AGC’s photovoltaic glass, to be installed in the skylight of the food court on the campus,
will be used as one of the energy sources*2, contributing to the reduction of the campus’ reliance on electricity derived from main grid.
It will also enable natural lighting, which is an inherent feature of glass, to create a bright and inviting interior space.
*1 Multi-energy microgrid
A system to stably supply electricity by installing small-scale power generation facilities near consumers and using decentralized power sources such as solar, storage batteries, EVs, etc., instead of purely relying on power supplied from the main grid.*2 The area of AGC’s photovoltaic glass used in the campus is about 400m2, equivalent to 57.7Kwp rated output. Rated output is a value that indicates how much power a solar installation can generate under predetermined conditions (standard conditions).
