As the world gradually recovers from the activity restrictions imposed due to the global pandemic, employees worldwide are slowly returning to the workplace. While working-from-home has become the new norm, offices and other workplace premises still cannot be done away, but are our workplaces ready and safe for employees to return?Buildings, being where we spend the majority of our time in, have key roles to play in safeguarding the health and wellbeing of its occupants. Worldwide, building-based prevention and control measures have become one of the most important methods of fighting against the effects of the pandemic. In this special webinar, join us as we take a look at how our buildings can prepare for the resumption of work and the new business as usual.

The built environment, responsible for more than a third of global carbon emissions, is in a prime position to address climate challenges through low-carbon and net-zero building principles. The World Green Building Council (WorldGBC)s Advancing Net Zero (ANZ) project aims to consolidate and catalyse action across the globe, and highlight leadership action in total sector decarbonisation. Through a combination of thought leadership and direct intervention action, the global project aims for buildings to be Net Zero Energy by 2030 and for all buildings to be Net Zero Carbon by 2050.In this 3-part webinar series, hear perspectives on going net zero from different stakeholders in the built environment value chain, the possible pathways towards net zero and how challenges can be addressed.A roundtable discussion with the WorldGBC ANZ team will be held after the 3rd webinar session to help translate notion into action and for the WorldGBC to share about the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment. Registration for the roundtable is complimentary, and separate from the webinar registration and will be shared once finalised.

The emphasis on human health and wellbeing has never been greater in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic, with cleanliness and hygiene becoming key weapons in addressing public health concerns. The built environment sector must step up to deliver healthy, equitable, resilient spaces and places for people toresume their lives.In this 3-part webinar series, dive into the intricacies of what is now the new normal for the foreseeable future. From enhancing workplace wellness to determining if a place is suciently clean, gather insights, best practices and industry intelligence from our speakers to adapt facilities and workplaces for the new normal.

The World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) announced a bold vision to address climate change - by 2030, all new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have at least 40% less embodied carbon with significant upfront carbon reduction, and all new buildings are net zero operational carbon. Come 2050, new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have net zero embodied carbon, and all buildings, including existing buildings, must be net zero operational carbon.Through the Balancing the Net Zero Equation SGBC Webinar series held in July 2020, industry experts have covered decarbonisation efforts in the Asia Pacific and shared crucial perspectives from the built environment's key stakeholders. In this special SGBC virtual roundtable, gather deep insights and actionable knowledge to begin your own net zero journey.

The first session of this SGBC Webinar Series - held in support of both International Built Environment Week 2020 and World Green Building Week 2020 - will discuss key carbon neutrality definitions and trends affecting the future of the built environment sector. This will include how neutrality is being embedded into buildings from project design to end-of-life, implications for companies today and how carbon neutrality sits within the broader built environment Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) reporting ecosystem in attracting investors.

Buildings which are designed for people with intelligent lighting systems and interoperable building services are able to enhance comfort, improve occupant productivity as well as promote health and welling.These buildings are able to make sense of environmental parameters and continuously work to make the workday better for occupants. In this SGBC Webinar series supported by Education Partner Helvar, find out how workplaces can be transformed by putting wellbeing at the heart of spatial design.

Do you know that the Environmental Protection Agency has consistently ranked indoor air pollution as one of the most concerning environmental dangers we all face daily? Ventilation is an important aspect for the design of buildings, embraced to prevent the spread of airborne disease.Indoor air pollutants are detrimental to the buildings' occupants' performance, affects the potential of a buildings' energy efficiency, and has wide reaching implications on business performance as seen by the recent pandemic.In this SGBC Webinar supported by Education Partner Siemens, find out how implementing a pandemic-proof Indoor Air Quality system can assist with business continuity and help achieve cost savings.

Organisations are increasingly moving towards a more sustainable future while environmental, social and governance materiality are beginning to factor heavily into business operations.Green financing has been gaining momentum here in Singapore since 2018, with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) setting up a US$2 billion green investments programme (GIP) in November 2019 to invest in public market investment strategies that have a strong green focus. MAS also released in June 2020 a consultation paper on new guidelines to manage environmental risks for financial institutions. These will help to support the Singapore financial centre in promoting environmentally sustainable projects and mitigating climate change risks in Singapore and the region. What impact will green financing have on industries such as building and construction and how can businesses tap on its benefits? In this SGBC Webinar series supported by HSBC, find out more about sustainable financing and how it could help your business unlock growth and value in the future by funding growth, driving innovation and delivering improved margins.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented challenges for many industries including the built environment. With a challenging global economic outlook ahead, how can sustainability goals continue to be advanced and accelerated towards a low carbon future? In this SGBC Education Spotlight webinar, speakers from SP Group will share more about digital energy technologies and case studies that bring together operational efficiency, energy efficiency and improvement in occupant well-being for commercial buildings, townships and districts. To gain perspectives and insights on how to advance sustainability to the next level in the built environment, this webinar is not to be missed.

Sweeping global developments on the public health front have given new meaning to the phrase a new normal. While contemporary measures such as remote working and physical dividers serve as stopgap solutions to maintain a semblance of normalcy, true economic recovery can only be possible if we can inch closer to pre-pandemic times.Smart building solutions have been steadily gaining traction over the years, being accelerated in recent times to how technology can be utilised to safeguard human health and wellbeing. With technology helping to ensure the health of a building for its occupants, our built environment can be well-equipped to face the new normal.In this SGBC Webinar supported by SGBC Founding Member Schneider Electric, find out how smart technology can help to shape healthy buildings.
