Beating the heat, one home at a time
In Punggol North, Capital Distributors matched KDK cooling solutions to the needs of three vulnerable households taking part in a community heat adaptation programme.
In Punggol North, Capital Distributors, the exclusive distributor of KDK cooling solutions, installed cooling systems in three vulnerable households as part of a community heat adaptation program. This comes as Singapore experiences hotter temperatures, with 17 days of high heat stress recorded this year, more than triple the five days recorded last year.
76-year-old retiree Abdul Razak, who lives in a rental flat with a housemate, and 80-year-old stroke survivor Ta Gamas, both residents of Punggol North, were among those identified as needing assistance. The StayCool program, supported by the SG Eco Fund, promotes practical ways to make homes more comfortable as temperatures rise.
Capital Distributors assessed each home's layout, airflow, and ventilation to match the most suitable KDK solutions. For Mr Razak, this included a new KDK ceiling fan, table fan, stand fan, ventilation fan, and instant water heater. Mdm Ta received a similar setup. The installations led to more comfortable living conditions and better sleep for the residents.
Capital Distributors has been KDK's exclusive distributor in Singapore for 30 years, continuously expanding its range of air ventilation products and considering factors such as electricity consumption and noise levels.
