Remote Imaging, Sensing and Processing (CRISP), NUS.High Density Threshold Project one of sixseparate but linked studies under the mainproject theme of Sustainable High DensityLiving (SHDL)Co-PrincipalInvestigatorMND Research Fund,S$ 20,000 (approx. HK$180K)Jan 2011 to Dec 2012To develop a knowledge base of methods and standards relating to sustainable high densityurban development through a literature review and case studies; To discern the relationshipsbetween density and environmental performance, and in the process, derive a range of optimaldensity parameters that can be tested in Singapore, and that can potentially be applied to otherdense Asian cities; To study how high density living can be effectively integrated with microclimaticresponses particularly relating to use of natural light and ventilation, urban greenery,planning of urban spaces, and more sustainable transport systems, efficient resource use andrecovery, to reduce overall environmental impacts while achieving highly liveable environments.In collaboration with Professor CK Heng and Dr L C Malone-Lee of School of the BuiltEnvironment, NUS.Proposed●Co-Principal Investigator of: Mapping and mitigating heat islands for sustainable city living,Research Grants Council (RGC): Theme-based Research Scheme 2011, (2012-2017).
