Events
Through collaborations with its members and other leading organisations, SGBC offers a comprehensive suite of seminars, webinars, courses, and industry events.
These industry-specific events aim to address key trends and developments in green building and built environment sustainability, providing built environment professionals and organisations with valuable insights, practical expertise, and valuable networking opportunities to advance their sustainability goals.
SGBC Events also allow built environment professionals to fulfil continuing professional development (CPD) requirements for key industry qualifications (e.g., Green Mark Professionals, etc).

Building on the enriching session held in June last year, this lunch & learn session by SGBC Member ebm-papst SEA explores sustainable air-cooling solutions that enhance efficiency and minimise environmental impact in data centres. It will focus on Electronic Commutation (EC) technology, examining how EC motors and fans optimise energy usage and operational costs. The session will also delve into the role of Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC) in mitigating harmonics and lowering installation costs for the power supply.
In addition, the session will explore the key environmental benefits of sustainable data centre cooling, including reduced carbon emissions and energy consumption, as well as operational considerations and economic implications. Case studies will further illustrate successful implementations and offer insights into future trends.

As part of the World Engineering Day (WED) celebrations, The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) and Singapore Polytechnic have partnered for the third consecutive year to organise the Charles Rudd Distinguished Lectures series.
Held annually, the Charles Rudd Distinguished Lecture Series is a key initiative of IES designed to promote a greater appreciation of engineering. This series honours the late Er. Charles Rudd, a distinguished engineer and IES Member, whose remarkable generosity included a bequest of over $1 million to IES.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural Charles Rudd Distinguished Global Lectures (CRDGL), WED 2025: CRDGL aims to unite leading experts, innovators and thought leaders from the global engineering community. The event will serve as a platform to share insights, explore emerging technologies and address engineering challenges shaping our future.
Focusing on the theme ‘Towards a Sustainable World: Engineering the Way Forward’, WED 2025: CRDGL will spotlight two key areas: Circular Economy and Resilient Future. This theme underscores the critical role of engineering in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This SGBC Seminar, supported by SGBC Established Member Mapei Far East, will provide an outlook and analysis of the latest sustainability trends and developments. Diving into the importance of low-carbon construction materials, attendees will also gain valuable insights into the roles of EPDs and LCA in driving a low-carbon future.
Virtual Event
Buildings contribute 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions — with 11% coming from materials and construction alone.
Can smarter material choices drive decarbonisation? Find out more at the Winter Sustainability Summit 2024, hosted by One Click LCA, the largest online summit dedicated to sustainability in construction.

The CapitaLand Sustainability X Challenge (CSXC) is back! If your innovation and technology can solve sustainability challenges that impact urban development,register now. Organised by SGBC Founding Member CapitaLand, CSXC aims to source for emerging solutions and advance collaboration in sustainability within the urban environment globally.
CSXC provides an opportunity for innovators to showcase and profile solutions to make the urban environment more climate-resilient and resource-efficient. Through the Challenge, innovators will stand a chance to:
- Pilot, test and implement innovations within CapitaLand’s buildings located across more than 260 cities in over 40 countries, with over S$1 million to cover the cost of piloting all the chosen innovations.
- Gain access to local and global markets with expert mentoring on strategy and approach.
- Implement forward-looking solutions for asset types including retail, office, lodging, business parks, industrial, logistics, self storage, data centres and development/construction sites globally.
As a Platinum Partner of CSXC 4th Edition, SGBC is organising a virtual Info Session on 19 Nov. 2024 for the industry to learn more about CSXC’s focus areas and challenge statements.

Green buildings are more than just structures; they are living systems designed to optimise energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and environmental sustainability.
Join us on this SGBC Learning Journey, made possible by SGBC Founding Members Kajima Development Pte Ltd and Singapore Polytechnic, as we explore the frontiers of smart buildings. Using The GEAR building as a case study, we will delve into how these technologies create environments that adapt to occupant needs in real-time, enhancing comfort, efficiency, and overall wellbeing.
During the session, we will visit the following facilities on The GEAR’s premises:
- Construction Robotics Lab – conducts research of new construction methods with robots and used to test utilisation of drones at construction sites
- Urban Space Creation Display – showcases research revolving around sustainable materials and advanced sensing technologies for building and infrastructure projects
- Digital Tech Lab – conducts research for occupant wellbeing, energy efficiency, carbon neutralisation and smart facilities management using digital data and robotics
- K/Park – modular space that is naturally ventilated with flexible configurations for different conditions
In-Person Course
Carbon emissions are a critical metric for understanding and reducing the environmental impact of buildings. Built environment professionals and practitioners need to be conversant in carbon calculations by utilising life cycle assessments (LCA) as a tool to evaluate the carbon impact of building projects, whether to compare design schemes for a building project, or for the adaptive reuse and retrofit of a building.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Gain an understanding of embodied carbon emissions and a building’s life cycle assessment (LCA)
- Understand the role of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)
- Receive hands-on training using the One Click LCA digital tool to conduct LCA of building projects and to identify potential decarbonisation opportunities
- Learn how to compare and select building materials for their impact on a building’s carbon performance
