Singapore’s Green Building journey began in 2005. This session with Professor Lam Khee Poh will look at some of the background research and development work that led to the launch of the inaugural Building and Construction Authority Green Mark Certification scheme.

 

The National Library Building will be used as a case study to illustrate the conceptual and practical implementation of the key features of a Green Building. A brief review of the several iterations of Singapore’s Green Building Masterplan will also be presented, culminating in its contribution to the Singapore Green Plan 2023, a whole-of-nation sustainability movement.
