Capital Tower

The Capital Tower in Singapore is one of the world's oldest modern smart buildings, which was completed in 2000. Capital Tower is a 52-story Grade A office building in Tanjong Pagar, Singapore's business and financial district. It is the city's fourth-tallest skyscraper. Capital Tower has 52 floors served by five shuttle double-deck lifts. It is the location of many intelligent energy efficiency systems, including an energy recovery wheel system in its air-conditioning unit, which allows cool air to be recovered to maintain the efficiency of the chillers.

Not only that, but the Capital Tower has motion detectors in the lift lobby and toilets to save energy, and the use of double-glazed windows reduces heat penetration to minimize energy consumption. The building uses condensation from the air handling unit to reduce water use, while specific devices monitor carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide levels to ensure optimal air quality and distribution. This structure is an excellent example of intelligent workspaces, which are intended to lower their carbon footprint by taking into account the impact of employee working habits and needs, as well as the natural environment. Furthermore, the use of double-glazed windows, as shown in the Capital Tower, can minimize the amount of energy used to cool the building.
