More developers going beyond Singapore’s top green building standards
Architects say more developers in Singapore are exceeding the country’s highest green building standards, with private sector demand rising by as much as 30 per cent. From mass engineered timber structures to district cooling systems, developers are investing in energy-efficient designs to lower operating costs and reduce carbon emissions. The trend comes as rising energy prices strengthen the business case for sustainable developments, supporting Singapore’s goal of greening 80 per cent of buildings by 2030. Rachel Teng reports.
