The document discusses implementing piezoelectric energy generating floors in Singapore. It describes how piezoelectric floors can generate electricity from foot traffic and could be installed in high traffic areas like airports, malls, and MRT stations. Implementing these floors could help power lights, devices, and encourage sustainable behavior by showing energy production in real time. Locations like Changi Airport and Orchard Road are proposed for initial installations.

5. Power Up!

3. End User
 Community
 The public

4. Main Objective
 Help Singapore reduce its carbon emissions
 Hence, improving the health of people in Singapore
 Hence, more budget could be used in other sectors
other than healthcare

7. “Green Rewards” campaign
How does it work?
 Reward people who goes green and uses energy saving
appliances
Consequences:
 Encourage people to go green
 Hence, helping Singapore by lowering the energy usage and
also its carbon emissions
 Also this would allow people to lower their electricity fees and
also save money.
 With lesser pollutants due to lesser fuels burnt, the air will
also be cleaner, hence, bringing positive effect to the people’s
lives

8. “Green Rewards” campaign
Methodology:
1. Start in small-scale, probably in Bukit Timah areas
2. Look at its effectiveness
3. Improve on the campaign while addressing the
public’s concern
4. Implement the campaign in large-scale, probably to
all Singapore’s residential estates
5. Continue improving on the campaign with
continuous addressing of the public’s concerns
6. Implement to the whole of Singapore

9. “Green Rewards” campaign
Summary
 Encourages people to go green
 Hence, bring benefits to people
 Benefit in health
 Benefit in environment

12. Literally Green Building
 Plant flora on buildings
 Allow buildings to be more colorful
 Cool down environments

15. Literally Green Building
Methodology
1. Start in small scale, probably in Teck Whye Area

16. Literally Green Building
2. Conduct feedback sessions and ask for resident’s
opinions
3. Improve on idea
4. Expand scale of project to other places such as whole
of the North-West area
5. Improve on idea again with feedback sessions
conducted
6. Hence, expand project to whole of Singapore

17. Literally Green Building
Summary
 Cooling down environment
 Makes environment more colorful
 Hence, enhancing the famous name of
Singapore, “Garden City”

20. About Piezoelectricity
 Piezoelectricity
 is a charge that accumulates in some solids when a
mechanical stress is applied.
 Piezoelectricity is found in useful applications such as
 The production and detection of sound
 generation of high voltages
 everyday uses such as acting as the ignition source
for cigarette lighters

21. About Piezoelectric energy generator
 It can power lights, computers, automatic doors, shop signs, microwaves and
other electronic devices in both public or private spaces. The payback period
could be only one year depending on its use. It has an estimated system life of
five years, or about 20 million steps.
 It is constructed from marine grade stainless steel and recycled materials, the
slabs’ surface is made of rubber from old tires and the internal made from
recycled aluminium. So far it has been tested out in East London and will
continue onto various destinations in the UK in 2010. The most trafficked and
amazing places all over the world like New York’s Times Square, the Eiffel
Tower or even Disney World could use this invention.

Piezoelectric energy generating floors
By vehicles By train By aircraft

23. Implementation in Singapore
Piezoelectric energy generating floors can be installed at places where
there is a lot of people or vehicles.
• Changi airport
• Orchard road
• Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints
• MRT systems
• Tourist attractions

24.  We can also encourage people to purposely step on these
plates by emitting a glow (which only uses 5% of the total
energy produced) to inform people of their contribution
and reinforces a sustainable attitude and an increased
awareness of the energy that is continually created and
expended by each individual.
 It can be made more exciting by putting plates that would
make different musical notes when pressed. (this would
require no energy)
 It can be made into a musical playground for children to
enjoy.
