The facility consolidates water-intensive operations, with shower facilities and laundry equipment positioned on Level 1,
complemented by strategically placed water dispensers on different floors. This arrangement facilitates better monitoring and
control of water consumption.

The building's design prioritises efficient ventilation through a balanced combination of natural and mechanical systems.
Support facilities were positioned strategically to serve their intended purposes while minimising energy waste.

These practices reflect Wen Hong's dedication to environmental responsibility, successfully balancing operational requirements
with energy efficiency and resource conservation. The facility exemplifies how thoughtful design and equipment selection can
contribute to sustainable operations in a commercial setting.
