This webinar will provide an introduction to new Singapore Standard on Ceramic wall and floor tiling (SS 665: 2020).This standard provides requirements for the design and installation of ceramic and mosaic floor and wall tiling in normal internal and external conditions. This standard also deals with classes and types of backgrounds and their suitability to receive tiling using the different fixing methods. This webinar also highlights the different types of tiles and common installationfailures, the different adhesive types and tips on installation as well as CONQUAS standards on tiling.

This program focuses on Artificial Intelligence or Fuzzy framework on Strategic FM services and Asset management in the form of data analytic, facilities cost management, green and smart building technologies that will produce voluminous amount of data, integration of active and passive designs for energy conservation management, and the realization of real time sustainability in building design for maintenance; as well as coordination and cooperation between disciplines in design, construction, project close out, project life cycle and whole life cost of Asset Management which is the essence of strategic Asset management and in collaboration with BIM and CAFM software application.In the digital age of creating a better building and facilities management team, a difference has grown between creating smart buildings and truly intelligent facilities management strategies. These strategies differ by being intuitive versus smart and self-managed versus manual activities. If you are not sure about your facilitys use of smart or intelligent facilities management practices, you need to ask yourself these questions.

Continuing our series of seminars to help the industry appreciate the benefits of digitising the work processes. We are delighted to invite contractors from our industry to share the up-and-downs of their journey in digital delivery. The seminar hopes to hear from the contractors on what the consultants can adjust or improve on in order to streamline processes and avoid abortive design or construction work.CPD: 2 PDU

Building-based prevention and control measures have become one of the most important methods of fighting against disease and epidemic. The buildings heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are of particular importance as they directly contribute to a safe and healthy indoor environment for occupants. However, it is equally important that energy efficiency is not compromised and therefore, paramount that HVAC systems be optimised for both energy efficiency and health outcomes.In this SGBC Webinar supported by SGBC Member Armstrong Fluid Technology, learn about how HVAC efficiency can be enhanced and ensured in our buildings as the country moves towards greater reopening. SGBC Members Squire Mech and Keppel DHCS will also share insights and case studies on implementing HVAC strategies for the new normal.

Contractors and builders would have to face the Authorities and even the media when such incidents take place. On site, project owners and contractors look to the contract and particularly the insurance coverage for compensation.However, construction contracts are normally left to the specialists Consultants, Quantity Surveyors and even Lawyers to advise. The need for insurance and indemnity for the Client is specified in the Contract but engineers do not pay much attention to this contractual issue. Building codes and specifications have to meet in order for the insurance policy to respond. Often when something goes wrong on site, these insurance documents are sought upon to look for financial compensation.

Selling to the engineering industry is normally a complex process that requires technical knowledge, application knowhow, strategy and strong customer relationships skills. The selling cycle, especially for big projects can be long and usually involves a team with well thought out strategies.This workshop is designed for engineering professionals who want insights into selling to the engineering and technology industry. These includes selling of products, projects and services.Objectives:- To provide insights into the technical selling process- Understand product market fit- How market size affects your selling- How to position yourself in the value chain- Conduct a competitor analysis- Selection of the sales channels- Insights to selling & value selling techniques

This webinar highlights agencies efforts to streamline and enhance regulatory process for the built environment industry.

While we are aware that it is not the responsibility of the architect/designer to maintain the facility upon its completion, this is not fully appreciated during the design process. When design decisions are made without regard to the maintenance perspective, it can often lead to a facility that incurs more cost to maintain or that has components that simply cannot be maintained. As facilities are completed, the owner's maintenance responsibilities begin and increase with the ageing of the facilities. The lack of maintainability is sometimes further aggravated by man power shortage and budget reductions.Given the maintenance issues that can arise, a fundamental understanding that facilities can be designed to be more maintainable will lead to lower cost of operation and higher safety during the entire building life.The objective of this course is to provide all stakeholders of a project the understanding and techniques when designing a facility to achieve high maintainability and productivity post construction.

The Construction industry has unfortunately seen 10 workplace fatalities from January to October 2021. This accounts for more than 30% of all workplace fatalities this year.The WSH Council, supported by the Ministry of Manpower, is organising the Construction WSH Leadership Dialogue 2021 to emphasize on the importance of prioritising WSH practices and tightening WSH measures for the upcoming festive period and into 2022.The Dialogue will provide thought provoking WSH leadership insights as we navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Webinar code: 80080Computational design approach enables built environment practitioners to explore wider design options and automate complex solutions efficiently for optimised project delivery. It has also been identified as one of the in-demand key skillsets for the sector towards digitalisation. In this webinar, you will hear from both local and international practitioners covering global trends of computational approach towards design and construction, real case studies of computational approach in integrated design including practical adoption of computational BIM at various levels of complexities, as well as to showcase various possibilities as a collaborative tool. Fees (incl. of GST): S$65.00 / S$10.33 (with WTU funding)
