About SP Group Cooling

SP Group is Singapore's largest district cooling operator and the pioneer in implementing large-scale residential centralised cooling systems. Their flagship implementation in the Tengah estate represents a significant step towards sustainable urban living.

The system uses chilled water instead of traditional refrigerants, providing cooling to individual units through a network of pipes connected to a central chiller plant. This approach eliminates the need for individual outdoor condenser units, freeing up balcony space and reducing noise pollution.

SP Group's system integrates with the MyTengah app, allowing residents to monitor and control their cooling usage in real-time, promoting energy awareness and cost savings.

Historical Context

Early rollout in Tengah experienced some teething issues including condensation and pipe leaks, attributed to compressed construction timelines during COVID-19. SP Group has since implemented rectification measures, waived initial usage charges, and extended warranties. HDB continues to monitor system performance for future estate implementations.
