Driven by a strong commitment to Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), corporate social responsibility, and long-term sustainability, Shaw Tower Singapore has installed 33 Tongdy (Neutral Green) PMD duct-mounted air quality monitoring systems within its central HVAC infrastructure. This deployment reinforces Shaw Tower’s positioning as a health-focused, environmentally responsible commercial complex and establishes a new benchmark for air quality management in modern office buildings.
A Strong Commitment to Green and Healthy Building Operations
As a global leader in green buildings and smart city development, Singapore consistently prioritizes the balance between environmental sustainability and occupant wellbeing. Located in the Ophir-Rochor precinct rejuvenation zone, Shaw Tower is a mixed-use development integrating office, retail, and cultural spaces. Its iconic curved architecture and multi-layered green public areas embody a people-centric design philosophy, where environmental performance is deeply embedded into daily operations.
Shaw Tower’s building management strategy is anchored in three core principles:
1. Green and Sustainable Operations
Aligned with Singapore’s carbon-neutral roadmap, Shaw Tower continuously optimizes energy consumption through low-carbon infrastructure, intelligent energy-efficiency systems, and ongoing upgrades to power, cooling, and lighting systems—embedding sustainability into every operational detail.
2. Healthy and Comfortable Indoor Environments
In the post-pandemic era, indoor air quality has become a decisive factor for tenant satisfaction and visitor experience. Shaw Tower recognizes that air quality directly affects employee productivity, occupant health, and dwell time, making IEQ a critical component of its competitive advantage.
3. Smart Building Management
By integrating its Building Management System (BMS) with a comprehensive environmental monitoring network, Shaw Tower enables 24/7 real-time data collection and intelligent decision-making. The adoption of Tongdy PMD air quality monitors represents the practical execution of these strategic objectives.
Why Tongdy PMD Duct-Mounted Air Quality Monitors?
The Tongdy PMD series is a professional solution specifically designed for air quality monitoring inside HVAC air ducts. With over 20 years of expertise in air quality sensing, Tongdy is a national high-tech enterprise whose products are certified by CE, FCC, RoHS, and internationally recognized green building standards such as RESET and WELL. Today, solutions have been deployed in more than 100 large commercial buildings across 32+ countries, proving their reliability and performance at scale.
Installed in both supply and return air ducts, the PMD series seamlessly adapts to Shaw Tower’s complex mixed-use environment while delivering outstanding cost-performance value.
1. Comprehensive Multi-Parameter Monitoring
To address diverse scenarios across offices, retail areas, and dining spaces, the PMD monitors provide full-spectrum air quality insights, including:
- PM2.5 & PM10 (fine and inhalable particulate matter)
- CO2(carbon dioxide)
- TVOC (total volatile organic compounds)
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Ozone (O3)
- Temperature and humidity within air ducts
2. High-Precision Sensor Technology
Advanced sensor architectures and proprietary environmental compensation algorithms ensure measurement accuracy regardless of ambient fluctuations. Constant airflow control design guarantees stable data output, extends device lifespan, and delivers fused multiSEGA multi-parameter data optimized for HVAC automation and control strategies.
3. Intelligent Integration and Automation
The PMD series supports Wi-Fi, Ethernet (RJ45), 4G, and RS485 communication protocols, enabling seamless integration with Shaw Tower’s BMS. Data from all 33 monitoring points is delivered in real-time to the central control platform, enabling facility managers to monitor air quality conditions floor-by-floor remotely.
When anomalies such as elevated CO2, PM2.5, or CO levels are detected, the system automatically triggers alerts and can be configured to dynamically adjust HVAC components—air handling units, fan coils, and fresh air systems—creating a fully closed-loop process from monitoring to control. Modular sensor design and online calibration significantly reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Strategic Value of the Deployment
1. Protecting Occupant Health and Experience
The comprehensive duct monitoring network provides full visibility into air quality throughout the central HVAC system, ensuring supply air meets the requirements of different usage scenarios. This directly safeguards the respiratory health of thousands of office workers and daily visitors, enhancing productivity, comfort, and tenant satisfaction.
2. Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction
By leveraging real-time air quality data, the BMS can intelligently optimize ventilation rates and thermal loads based on occupancy and environmental conditions—avoiding unnecessary ventilation and reducing energy waste while maintaining superior air quality.
3. Enhanced ESG Performance and Brand Value
As ESG considerations become increasingly critical in commercial real estate, advanced air quality monitoring has emerged as a key differentiator. Shaw Tower’s partnership with Tongdy reflects confidence not only in technical performance but also in proven commercial building expertise. This upgrade elevates Shaw Tower to a regional benchmark for air quality management, reinforcing its leadership in sustainability and healthy building practices.
Proven Performance and Industry Leadership
Since deployment, Shaw Tower’s management team has reported high data stability and effective air quality control across all zones. Tenant satisfaction has increased noticeably—particularly in high-occupancy spaces such as meeting rooms, office floors, and retail areas.
This project exemplifies significant reference value within the industry.
As expectations for healthy indoor environments continue to rise in Singapore’s commercial real estate sector, Shaw Tower’s collaboration with Tongdy offers a replicable blueprint for building data-driven, green, and health-centric commercial spaces. Beyond enhancing occupant experience, this approach accelerates industry-wide progress toward sustainability and environmental responsibility.
