SINGAPORE – An initiative to coat Housing Board flats with heat-reflective paint will be rolled out to all estates by 2030, after a pilot project in Tampines showed that the cool paint reduced ambient temperatures by up to 2 deg C.
The scheme will be offered to all town councils over the next five years, with the Government footing the bill for the cool coatings.
Senior Minister of State for National Development Tan Kiat How said on Feb 3 that scaling up this initiative to all existing estates will cost the Government an additional $60 million.
HDB also said in a statement that public housing blocks will also be fitted with smart electrical sub-meters from the second quarter of 2025 to track energy consumption patterns and the performance of common services such as lifts, lights and water pumps in each block.
