A full house for an insightful discussion on the future of healthy and sustainable buildings!

The School of Architecture & the Built Environment (ABE), Singapore Polytechnic, was pleased to co-organise the SGBC Seminar: Looking Beyond Cooling – Advancing Indoor Air Quality for Sustainable Buildings, organised by the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) and supported by SGBC Founding Member Daikin Airconditioning (Singapore) Pte Ltd,

The seminar brought together over 100 participants, from building owners, facility managers, engineers, consultants, and built environment professionals, to explore the growing importance of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) as a key consideration in the design and operation of sustainable buildings.

As expectations for occupant health, wellbeing and environmental performance continue to rise, discussions centred on how organisations can balance healthy indoor environments with cooling efficiency and operational performance. The seminar also provided a valuable platform for industry networking, allowing participants to connect with solution providers, exchange experiences and explore innovations that support healthier and more sustainable built environments.

A heartfelt thank you to the SGBC, Daikin, our speakers, exhibitors, and all participants for contributing to the success of this event.
