As Singapore pushes for more sustainable cooling under the Go 25 movement, a key question emerges: how do we stay comfortable while reducing dependency on air-conditioning?
SGBC Founding Member SJ Group is tackling this challenge head-on with climate-responsive approaches and innovations that include usage pf canopies that can bring down the surface temperatures of the ground, integrating environmental design elements to make urban spaces and buildings cooler, smarter and greener as well as regenerative design that goes beyond carbon emissions reduction.
Reducing air-conditioning dependency complements indoor efforts: when outdoor spaces are cooler, maintaining a higher indoor temperature becomes easier. SJ’s efforts prove that alternatives work and illisustrates how we can reimagine comfort beyond thermostat battles.
