Net Zero Buildings in Singapore, Is It Achievable?

Professor Lock Kai Sang, Head, Energy Efficiency Technology Centre, Singapore Institute of Technology

This presentation aims to set the scene for the roundtable discussion on net-zero buildings in Singapore. The complex challenges of achieving net-zero carbon buildings in the city-state are presented. A holistic overview of achieving net-zero buildings will be covered ranging from building design, construction materials, application of energy efficient building services, renewable applications, operation and maintenance.

Existing buildings make up around 80% of the total building stock in Singapore.

With initiatives such as the Singapore Green Plan 2030 pushing for net zero targets, the upgrading and retrofitting of older buildings will become crucial in achieving carbon neutrality.

In this presentation, uncover the opportunities and challenges faced by existing buildings in the race to achieve net zero.

In a world facing pressing environmental challenges, the built environment plays a pivotal role in the quest for a sustainable future. This presentation, "Building a Sustainable Future" explores sustainability in the built environment - with a focus on the groundbreaking concept of Zero energy and Positive Energy Buildings.

Through solutions such as Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) and Sustainable Urban Renewal (SUR), Keppel has been pushing the envelope in terms of sustainability for the built environment starting by effectively decarbonizing our own assets. Leveraging on decades of expertise across Keppel’s Real Estate and Infrastructure Divisions, our solutions represent game changers for asset owners – helping them to increase asset values while reducing operating costs.

Keppel will share case studies on two assets that are first of their kind in Singapore’s built environment: i) Keppel Bay Tower – Singapore’s first Green Mark Zero Energy Building and ii) Keppel Infrastructure @ Changi – Singapore’s first Green Mark 2021: Positive Energy Building.
