Buildings in Singapore consume more than half the electricity generated. In the quest towards an energy efficient Singapore, energy efficient building is certainly one way to achieve the objective.

Energy efficient building involves the planning, design, management and use of a building. In order to ensure that a building is optimally efficient, we have to ensure that the entire value chain in the life cycle of a building is integrated, balanced and coordinated. Otherwise, the objectives of a major investment in a building to create a conducive and functional indoor space to meet human need will not be achieved.

Energy efficient building is not a new development. It has come about through the energy crisis of the 70s. But the energy efficient buildings of the 70s have contributed significantly to the sick building of the 80s and 90s owing to the very fine tuned designs and poor maintenance.

Hence the energy efficient buildings of the new millennium have to be human centred buildings designed to support the healthy, creative and quality life style of its occupants. A balanced and totally performing building is therefore required.
