From Reactive to Autonomous – Leveraging AI for Autonomous Building Energy and Operations Management
Traditional Building Management Systems (BMS) have long been the reliable backbone of our real estate infrastructure. They were engineered to keep the lights on, the air flowing, and the machinery running safely. But as we look toward the near future, with mandatory carbon disclosures hitting major APAC markets, the demands on our built environment are […]

The Edge Sustainable Construction Symposium 2026: Towards Sustainable Construction in Singapore
Buildings account for over 20% of Singapore’s total emissions. But moving beyond energy efficiency and individual green buildings requires a deeper question: How can every stakeholder across the ecosystem contribute meaningfully to Singapore’s sustainable development? That was the central theme explored this morning at The Edge Singapore’s inaugural Sustainable Construction Symposium 2026, held at Pan […]
Advancing Sustainable Building Envelopes with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
With climate change intensifying wind and rain, Wind-Driven Rain (WDR) has become a critical challenge for high-rise and dense urban designs. Inadequate façades lead to water ingress, material decay, and high maintenance costs. At this afternoon’s SGBC Webinar, supported by Education Partner HY M&E Consultancy Services, we explored with 240 participants how Computational Fluid Dynamics […]
Hands-On Training with the Mechanical & Electrical Carbon Calculator (MECC)
2026’s first run of the SGBC Hands‑On Training for the Mechanical & Electrical Carbon Calculator (MECC) was conducted today by Ms Yong Hui Yi from the SGBC Sustainability Certification team, supplemented by Ms Natalie Phoon from SGBC Member CPG Corporation who provided attendees with real-world usage examples of the MECC. During the Industry Course, attendees […]
Advancing Low Carbon Progress through Built Environment Innovation
To drive the next leap in built environment sustainability, we need transformative ideas, breakthrough technologies, and innovative deployment approaches that can redefine what energy efficiency looks like in existing buildings. Towards this end, the 3rd edition of the SGBC-OCBC Built Environment Decarbonisation Challenge, organised by the Singapore Green Building Council in collaboration with SGBC Member […]
Understanding Indoor Environmental Quality Strategies for Green Interiors
Indoor Environmental Quality is a core pillar of high-performance buildings and a key focus of the new Green Mark for Interiors certification scheme. This afternoon, the SGBC Lunch and Learn hosted at the Singapore Sustainability Academy Annex in collaboration with SGBC Member Adapt D&B LLP, explored how integrated IEQ design strategies and measurable performance outcomes […]
