Energy Efficient Buildings

According to the 2019 International Energy Agency (IEA) report, the building and construction sector accounted for 39% of world’s energy and process-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2018. Locally in Singapore, where the lifespans of buildings tend to be shorter due to urban renewal, the breakdown of carbon emissions for buildings is typically 40 percent embodied carbon emissions versus 60 percent for carbon emissions due to building operations. This places a great importance on improving the energy efficiency of our buildings to reduce the overall carbon footprint of our Built Environment sector.

The Open category calls for startups, SMEs, IHLs and RIs to collaborate and submit proposals that co-develop and testbed your innovative solutions with JID tenants & lessees for energy efficient buildings. 

Possible solutions for this theme include but are not limited to:

i. Software based solutions (e.g. energy management solutions)

ii. Hardware based solutions (e.g. adoption of new-to-market equipment)

You may submit your proposals after the briefing sessions. You will have up to 18 Oct 16:00pm (Singapore time, GMT +8) to submit your proposals. Please use the provided proposal submission form to submit your proposals.
