"Instead of using refrigerants to remove heat, the cooling system works using chilled water. Centralised chillers installed on selected housing blocks cool water, which is then ported through pipes that run through common corridors and into homes. "
Bullshit reporting;
The chiller still require refrigerants to cool the water and pipe to your unit.

Remember LKY said before " what free "
Is opt in one when you got the BTO flat there. I remember read the news on this.
Is centralised air con system. Those units want " will opt in and pay for a sum "
How they count how much you use i don't know.

Some Tengah BTO flat buyers are unhappy over the "very ugly" trunking used to conceal the pipes of the centralised cooling system in their homes.

It's good enough. You are buying public housing not private condo. Don't expect the trunking to be concealed.

After live a few years wait they want to replace the pipe inside the trunking home owner will cry as need pay a lot of monies. Reason being the contractor need spend effort to remove the hidden and then replace the pipe! It is same concept as our home ceiling light. I used to buy very fanciful designer lighting when I got my flat. Years later I have stripped out all the fancy covers it has become botak. Why? For easier replacement of light bulb obviously. Contractor quote me change light bulb (include take down and put up the cover etc need time and effort) $28 PER LIGHTING? So your living room plus bedroom you go count how much you need to pay!!!!
Now I prefer rather ugly then fanciful and beautiful fittings becuz years later the maintenance cost is going to cost you a leg or arm!

Commercial properties usually have false ceilings to hide the trunking. Looks like HDB properties are not suitable for centralised air-con.

I don't see the problem. People are given the option to opt out.
Main problem is they were not told.of .the trunking when they signed. Now that everyone knows should.not be an issue.
Even now they can cancel with 35% loss around $1.2K which is not much considering the house is costs much more.
One thing I don't understand is
Quote:Quote:Instead of using refrigerants to remove heat, the cooling system works using chilled water. Centralised chillers installed on selected housing blocks cool water, which is then ported through pipes that run through common corridors and into homes.
How is the cost to each home calculated when the compressors are central.
