The built environment is the first line of defence in safeguarding human health and wellbeing. With greener, healthier buildings designed and operated in line with contemporary guidelines and standards, ease of mind can be assured when living, working and playing in the new normal.This February, sign up for 2 webinars themed around built environment health and wellbeing organised by SGBC in collaboration with SGBC Members. Hear from industry experts and built environment sector veterans on how our buildings must adapt to a post-COVID era and glean insights on a greener and healthier future.

[2 SGBC-GMAP CPD Points awarded] Driven by challenges brought about by the pandemic, the 2 built environment megatrends of digitalisation and sustainability are set to transform the way we design, build and operate our buildings. Technological innovations can help to monitor, rectify and refine operational issues, but thought needs to be put into their actual implementation to ensure optimal efficiency and efficacy.At the JTC-SGBC Joint Webinar this year, we will illustrate the value that artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics can bring to the built environment. JTC will share the latest on their operation optimisation journey, bringing in 2 partners H3 and Elid Tech to elaborate on innovations in the area of condition monitoring and robotic maintenance. SGBC Member Green Koncepts will round off the session with an overview of how sustainability and efficiency outcomes can be achieved with an AI-enabled building management system.

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.
