One of Connexion's design features is the use of low emissivity glass to reflect heat and to keep cool air within its premises for more efficient energy consumption, the companies said. Connexion's management also actively monitors energy and water consumption and pursues opportunities to lower its carbon footprint, they added.

The Farrer Park Company's chief executive officer Peng Chung Mien said being the first healthcare building to receive the green loan underscores the company's commitment to reduce its carbon footprint.
