CONSTRUCTION
understands the full spectrum of what green building actually entails . Research has also shown that a building ’ s design has a direct impact on the health , wellbeing and productivity of its occupants .
To address this gap , the World Green Building Council has launched an awareness programme called Better Places for People . Just like its name suggests , the programme revolves around creating better places for people to live , work and play in through the adoption of green building design and technologies . SGBC works with the BCA and its programme partners to bring this initiative to Singapore , tailored to the local context and situation . Through a series of powerful talks that gather expertise from a broad swathe across the entire building and construction value chain , the average man-on-the-street is able to glean a much better idea of what a green building is and what he / she can do to improve productivity in the office .
Banking on its unique position in the industry , SGBC will continue to explore new ways to advance the green building movement locally and beyond .
