Singapore to develop more sustainable built environments

Developing buildings with better energy efficiency is a necessity while meeting the demand of the growing population for more urban spaces.

According to the Building and Construction Authority, building with better energy efficiency and those retrofitted will minimise the impact on the environment.

The BCA along with Build Eco Xpo Asia will be hosting the 3rd Singapore Green Building Week with the theme, "Build Green. Act Now". The third IGBC is a strong call-to-action for stakeholders of the building industry to heed the pressing global need to develop more sustainable built environments.

Despite having a good business case and the availability of various incentives, there is still much room for improvement and progress.

Michelle Lim, Managing Director of Reed Exhibitions Singapore, the organiser for BEX Asia 2011, said “This strategic collaboration between IGBC and BEX Asia is essential to ensure that industry players are kept up to date with the latest global green build trends and their applications in our region. BEX Asia encompasses the strength of its regional base, bringing together industry professionals and key decision makers, and providing networking and business opportunities to cater to the needs of the attendees and delegates. Together, IGBC and BEX Asia will drive this two-prong approach of education and business opportunities to further enhance the Build Green growth in South East Asia.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
