NEA, SIT open new training hub to equip 400 in energy efficiency

Students and professionals will gain hands-on experience in energy management.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) have opened the Energy Efficiency Training Facility at the SIT Punggol Campus, according to a press release.

The 430-square-metre facility will train 400 professionals and students, providing 1,500 hours of training annually. It houses equipment for pumps, compressed air, lighting, fans, electric motors, and air-conditioning systems, including heat pumps, boilers, and steam traps.

“By bringing industry-grade systems in-house, learners will benefit from more structured, scalable, and immersive training, strengthening workforce readiness and supporting Singapore’s energy efficiency and decarbonisation efforts,” said Chua Kee Chaing, SIT President.

An Energy Management System monitors operational data and simulates manufacturing conditions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

SIT and Willowglen Services Pte Ltd have signed a Research Collaboration Agreement to develop a Sustainability Reporting System for the facility, tracking energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Students will utilise the site for coursework and the Integrated Work Study Programme, the press release added.

Since its inception in 2020, the Energy Efficiency Technology Centre—a collaboration between NEA and SIT—has supported 50 companies and upskilled 500 professionals through the Energy Efficiency Upskilling Programme.

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.
