Go 25 Industry Resources
Make use of Go 25 Industry Resources to accelerate sustainable cooling, as new research reveals a seismic shift in how businesses value green buildings.
Launched at the Singapore-International Green Building Conference 2025 (IGBC-SG 2025) on 9 July 2025 by the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Ms Grace Fu, the resources come alongside new data showing sustainability is now a strategic priority for Singapore’s built environment sector. The new resources – the Go 25 Indoor Comfort Snapshot and the Go 25 Industry Guide for Building Operators – provide practical, data-driven guidance to help Singapore’s built environment sector optimise energy use while maintaining occupant comfort.
Go 25 Indoor Comfort Snapshot
This first-of-its-kind publication synthesises data from the Go 25 Indoor Comfort Quiz launched earlier in the year to offer business owners, building managers and workplace teams actionable insights on temperature settings.
The Snapshot reveals key trends in occupant preferences and demonstrates how commercial spaces can transition to 25°C without compromising comfort. Based on analysis of quiz data from more than 5000 respondents, over 50% of respondents expressed a preference for maintaining indoor temperatures at 24°C or warmer, clearly indicating a significant shift toward greater acceptance of higher temperature settings in built environments. The Snapshot also provides insights on established research on optimal comfort ranges as well as strategies to Go 25 in the workplace.
Go 25 Industry Guide for Building Operations
Complementing the Go 25 Indoor Comfort Snapshot, the Go 25 Industry Guide for Building Operations is developed specifically for facilities managers and building operators to deliver practical implementation strategies, including:
- Technical recommendations for system optimisation
- Real-world case studies of successful transitions
- Step-by-step checklists for gradual temperature adjustment
Aligned with national sustainability goals and green building standards, the Industry Guide aims to help optimise cooling systems and facility operations, supporting building managers, engineers, and operators to more efficiently Go 25.
Lead the Shift to 25°C
The Go 25 movement aligns with Singapore’s sustainability ambitions and green buildings framework. By moving toward 25°C in air-conditioned spaces, businesses can reduce cooling energy use by 12% for every 1°C increase, while maintaining thermal comfort through complementary measures like improved air movement and adaptive clothing policies.
