- Target 1: Green 80% of buildings by 2030
- Target 2: 80% of new buildings to be Super Low Energy
- Target 3: 80% improvement in energy efficiency

[Event Ended] SGBC-BCA Webinar: Creating Sustainable Districts through Climate-Responsive Design

With the rise of global temperatures, urban developments need to undergo sustainable transformation to ensure climate resilience, comfort and liveability. Climate-responsive design is essential in creating a vibrant space for the community, while optimising building elements for the reduction of negative environmental impact.

This SGBC-BCA Joint Webinar aims to raise awareness and promote environmentally friendly and sustainable practices in master planning, design and implementation of district-scale developments. Dr Winston Chow, the Principal Investigator of Cooling Singapore, will share about effective strategies that mitigate warming temperatures and the urban heat island effect for the cooling of cities, while Mr Chan Ee Mun from WOHA will discuss the sustainable features and technologies of Punggol Digital District that contribute to enhancing the vibrancy of the district and community.

[Event Ended] JTC-SGBC Joint Webinar: Leveraging Technology: Bridging Digitalisation & Sustainability

Driven by challenges brought about by the pandemic, the 2 built environment megatrends of digitalisation and sustainability are set to transform the way we design, build and operate our buildings. Technological innovations can help to monitor, rectify and refine operational issues, but thought needs to be put into their actual implementation to ensure optimal efficiency and efficacy.

At the JTC-SGBC Joint Webinar this year, we will illustrate the value that artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics can bring to the built environment. JTC will share the latest on their operation optimisation journey, bringing in 2 partners – H3 and Elid Tech – to elaborate on innovations in the area of condition monitoring and robotic maintenance. SGBC Member Green Koncepts will round off the session with an overview of how sustainability and efficiency outcomes can be achieved with an AI-enabled building management system.

[CPD Event] SGBC RGB Webinar Series: Learning from the Transformation of the Australian Built Environment

In 2020, the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) reported that more than 3.5 billion square metres of green building space have been certified by green building rating tools administered by GBCs, an incredible rise of 1,000 percent from 2010 levels. These sustainability-centric schemes and programmes are pivotal to the transformation of the built environment, encouraging and accelerating the design, construction and operation of greener buildings.

The SGBC Regional Green Building Webinar Series aims to help industry professionals learn more about the various green building standards in the region and how they have helped to transform the built environment in their respective countries. The first session will shine the spotlight on the unique context and green efforts of Australia and its built environment sector, which has been consistently ranked among the top global leaders in sustainability.

Often referred to as ‘the lucky country’, Australia is often recognised for its abundant natural resources, favourable weather and good-natured people. With the impact of climate change, however, it could be seen through a much different lens. Floods, fires and droughts are common and the impacts are significant and far-reaching. As a result, there is strong conscious recognition that more needs to be done to predict and prepare for these impacts. This extends to the Australian property market where industry leaders have worked together to create and support a common vision for a sustainable property market in Australia. Hear from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and Frasers Property Industrial as they discuss the state of the sustainable property movement in Australia and how the Green Star has been evolving to meet the needs of the Australian property sector.
