  Methodology  Primary and secondary research was conducted to retrieve relevant information for the project to allow CapitaLand to better understand the temperature increase and urban overheating consequences of shophouses in Clarke Quay. Primary Research Primary research was conducted to understand the risk of urban overheating through government websites, that involves observing changes in temperature in the Clarke Quay area and other relevant sites, the team was able to understand the need for a cooling system to be in place to reduce the temperature in the area, as seen in Figure A5.  Secondary Research  Secondary research was conducted with the help of online resources and articles on overseas projects. Data and specifications for solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems are identified and recorded. Information on work productivity and the approach of the government in green technology was also recorded to understand the visibility of these technologies to...
