Lighting is an integral part of our places and spaces, playing a vital role in the health and wellbeing of occupants, as well as contributing to energy optimisation and savings. A growing body of research has linked good lighting with improved occupant comfort, including an improved quality of sleep for occupants in workspaces that prioritise the use of daylight.In this 3-part live webinar series, delve into the intricacies of lighting design and controls, illuminating this aspect of green and healthy buildings. At each interactive webinar, hear from industry professionals and specialists on key lighting design considerations and take the opportunity to have your questions answered.

As the world gradually recovers from the activity restrictions imposed due to the global pandemic, employees worldwide are slowly returning to the workplace. While working-from-home has become the new norm, offices and other workplace premises still cannot be done away, but are our workplaces ready and safe for employees to return?Buildings, being where we spend the majority of our time in, have key roles to play in safeguarding the health and wellbeing of its occupants. Worldwide, building-based prevention and control measures have become one of the most important methods of fighting against the effects of the pandemic. In this special webinar, join us as we take a look at how our buildings can prepare for the resumption of work and the new business as usual.

Participants will gain in-depth knowledge on the inspection of the lift and escalator installation and maintenance works in accordance to the prevailing standards.

This is a course detailing the fundamentals of process safety and safety case. The topics covered include technical safety, major hazards assessment, the Workplace Safety & Health (Major Hazard Installation) Regulations, safety case, process safety management and an industry learning journey (to the Petrochemical Corporation of Singapore).Safety case is a newly introduced regime in Singapore. Professional Engineers (Chemical) from diverse operational backgrounds may not have the specialised knowledge on the elements and requirements of safety case, as well as important process safety aspects in chemical plant operations.

The built environment, responsible for more than a third of global carbon emissions, is in a prime position to address climate challenges through low-carbon and net-zero building principles. The World Green Building Council (WorldGBC)s Advancing Net Zero (ANZ) project aims to consolidate and catalyse action across the globe, and highlight leadership action in total sector decarbonisation. Through a combination of thought leadership and direct intervention action, the global project aims for buildings to be Net Zero Energy by 2030 and for all buildings to be Net Zero Carbon by 2050.In this 3-part webinar series, hear perspectives on going net zero from different stakeholders in the built environment value chain, the possible pathways towards net zero and how challenges can be addressed.A roundtable discussion with the WorldGBC ANZ team will be held after the 3rd webinar session to help translate notion into action and for the WorldGBC to share about the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment. Registration for the roundtable is complimentary, and separate from the webinar registration and will be shared once finalised.

The emphasis on human health and wellbeing has never been greater in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic, with cleanliness and hygiene becoming key weapons in addressing public health concerns. The built environment sector must step up to deliver healthy, equitable, resilient spaces and places for people toresume their lives.In this 3-part webinar series, dive into the intricacies of what is now the new normal for the foreseeable future. From enhancing workplace wellness to determining if a place is suciently clean, gather insights, best practices and industry intelligence from our speakers to adapt facilities and workplaces for the new normal.

This technical course covers design principles, installation of equipment, testing and commissioning, operations and maintenance including periodic examination and inspection of lifts and escalators. This is a 5-day course which comprises both classroom lectures and practical sessions. Participants will gain in-depth technical knowledge on lifts and escalators, with particular emphasis on the examination, inspection and testing of such equipment.

Procurement is a process of acquiring a construction project. Selecting a suitable procurement strategy in consideration of the clients objectives is a key to the success of any construction project. Building upon the procurement strategy adopted, good negotiation skill is required to achieve a fair construction contract. This 2-day course aims to provide an understanding of the processes and methodologies in managing effective contract procurement and negotiation.

The adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) during the design and construction stages has transformed our construction industry significantly. However, there are more from BIM that the industry could benefit from, especially in the areas of building operation and asset information management.This 2-day course will enable participants to appreciate how the convergence of BIM and Internet of Things (IoT) could change the way buildings are designed, built, operated and maintained. The lecturer will also demonstrate how BIM and IoT could automate the integration of various building systems and enable smart operation and maintenance.

The World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) announced a bold vision to address climate change - by 2030, all new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have at least 40% less embodied carbon with significant upfront carbon reduction, and all new buildings are net zero operational carbon. Come 2050, new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have net zero embodied carbon, and all buildings, including existing buildings, must be net zero operational carbon.Through the Balancing the Net Zero Equation SGBC Webinar series held in July 2020, industry experts have covered decarbonisation efforts in the Asia Pacific and shared crucial perspectives from the built environment's key stakeholders. In this special SGBC virtual roundtable, gather deep insights and actionable knowledge to begin your own net zero journey.
