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)

The Standards Development Organisation - Institution of Engineers Singapore (SDO-IES) is organising a webinar to introduce the new Singapore Standard SS 674: 2021 Design of Fibre Concrete Structures on 29 Nov 2021. You are cordially invited to attend this webinar. This webinar will highlight some of the design provisions and provide further recommendations as well as regulatory perspective on the use including the quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC) of fibre reinforced concrete.

It is quite common that large companies and government organizations house all their servers, storage devices, and info-communication systems in a wall-developed infrastructure setup called a Data Centre. In the recent times, data centres have taken on an increasingly central role in the progress of two parallel areas of rapidly growing global societal interest. Internet delivered information technology (IT) systems and telecommunications systems. In an energy efficiency point of view, data centres are highly energy intensive especially when they have to be operated round the clock. As a result, for the sustainable operation of data centres, the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) has setup the Green Data Centre Technology Roadmap. The Roadmap aims to reduce energy consumption of the constituent systems of a data centre. Most existing data centres in Singapore were designed and constructed without sustainability and energy conservation in mind. In future, it is expected that the Singapore data centre industry would experience strong and sustained growth. Therefore, it is very much imperative to develop a better understanding of the data centre system in an energy efficiency point of view. This course aims to help the Singapore Certified Energy Manager (SCEMs) to have a basic understanding of the data centres and their energy efficiency.

The presentations at the Cooling Tower Technologies For Sustainable Buildings And Healthy Living Webinar 2021 will include the engineering of a cooling tower solution for a multi-award winning building project, theimportant considerations in relation to the materials of construction for cooling towers, selecting the right fan system for cooling towers, and an innovative approach to solving the problems of scaling, corrosion and microbiological slime in cooling water systems.
