About Green Buildings

Green buildings are designed with both the environment and people in mind. They can help save on energy and water usage and reduce waste, making them more affordable to maintain and operate. More importantly, they provide healthier living and working environments, which can enhance the well-being and productivity of the individuals who use them.

Green buildings form a key component of Singapore’s climate change mitigation strategy and can go a long way in helping the nation meet its climate targets while building more resilient communities.
