Founded in 2015, Ecomanagehub emerged from a simple observation: Singapore's tropical climate demands cooling solutions, yet conventional air conditioning systems consume excessive energy and contribute to urban heat islands. Our team of 12 building engineers and environmental consultants recognized that traditional architectural principles, combined with modern understanding of airflow dynamics, could provide effective alternatives.
We started by analyzing pre-war shophouses in Katong and Tiong Bahru—structures that maintained comfortable indoor temperatures through strategic window placement, high ceilings, and ventilation shafts. These buildings operated without mechanical cooling for decades. This research became the foundation of our approach to natural ventilation design.
We design ventilation systems that reduce dependence on air conditioning by 40-70% in residential and commercial buildings across Singapore. Our work focuses on measurable outcomes: lower electricity bills, improved indoor air quality, and reduced carbon emissions.
Each project begins with computational fluid dynamics analysis to map airflow patterns specific to your building's orientation, surrounding structures, and local wind patterns. We then implement solutions using operable windows, ventilation towers, solar chimneys, and strategic landscaping.
Over eight years, we have completed 147 projects ranging from landed properties in Bukit Timah to HDB flats in Punggol. Our team includes certified passive house designers, LEED-accredited professionals, and specialists in tropical architecture.
We conduct thermal comfort assessments using calibrated sensors that measure temperature, humidity, and air velocity at multiple points throughout your space. This data informs our design recommendations, which typically include cross-ventilation pathways, stack effect optimization, and thermal mass integration.
Every recommendation stems from airflow modeling, thermal analysis, and post-occupancy evaluation data. We measure results in cubic meters per second of air movement and degrees Celsius of temperature reduction.
Our solutions work within existing building constraints and budgets. We specify readily available materials and coordinate with local contractors familiar with Singapore's building codes and climate conditions.
We design systems that function effectively for 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. Our clients receive detailed operation manuals and seasonal adjustment guidelines to maintain optimal performance.
Since 2015, we have helped property owners in Singapore reduce their cooling energy consumption while maintaining comfortable indoor environments. Our approach combines building science principles with practical construction methods.
Located at 70 Frankel Avenue, our office operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 18:00, and Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00. We conduct site assessments throughout Singapore and provide detailed reports within 10 business days.

Implementing proper airflow design reduces energy consumption while maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures throughout Singapore's tropical climate.
Reduce electricity costs by 40-60% compared to conventional air conditioning systems. Cross-ventilation and stack effect principles eliminate the need for mechanical cooling during most hours, resulting in savings of $150-300 monthly for typical residential properties.
Fresh outdoor air continuously replaces stale indoor air, removing pollutants, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. This constant exchange reduces humidity levels and prevents mold growth, creating healthier living spaces without relying on filters or purifiers.
Zero carbon emissions during operation make this approach sustainable. By eliminating refrigerants and reducing power consumption, each home prevents approximately 2-3 tons of CO2 emissions annually while supporting Singapore's Green Building Masterplan targets.
Unlike mechanical systems requiring regular servicing, cleaning, and refrigerant top-ups, passive ventilation components need only occasional inspection. No compressors, fans, or filters to replace means lower long-term costs and fewer service calls over the system's 30-50 year lifespan.
Enjoy peaceful indoor environments without the constant hum of compressors or fan noise. Natural airflow operates silently, improving sleep quality and concentration. This benefit particularly matters in densely populated areas like Toa Payoh or Bedok where noise pollution affects daily life.
Strategic window placement and thermal mass integration maintain indoor temperatures 3-5°C below outdoor levels. Combining shading devices, high ceilings, and proper orientation creates comfortable conditions even during peak afternoon heat, matching or exceeding air-conditioned comfort levels.
Function effectively during electrical outages or brownouts without backup generators. This reliability proves valuable during storms or grid maintenance periods common in tropical regions. Homes remain comfortable regardless of power availability, providing security and peace of mind.
Our approach to passive cooling combines building science principles with Singapore's tropical climate characteristics. These numbers reflect actual installations completed across residential and commercial properties in the region.
