Gov’t launches sustainable indoor air-conditioning initiative

It encourages sustainable cooling by setting indoor air-conditioning at 25°C.

The Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) launched the Go 25 initiative to encourage sustainable cooling by setting indoor air-conditioning at 25°C.

A study, in partnership with Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Centre for Environmental Sustainability, showed energy savings of up to 12% for each degree raised in air-conditioning temperatures from 23°C to 25°C in offices.

Additional energy savings can be achieved when air-conditioning temperatures are set above 25°C.

In line with this, the government also introduced the Go 25 Pledge—a voluntary industry commitment to sustainable cooling.

This initiative urges concerned entities to commit to setting indoor temperatures at 25°C or higher, adjusting temperature gradually to ease the transition for occupants, and
providing cooling alternatives.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
