Transforming The Way We Work, Live, Play Through Smart Buildings
"Smart Buildings” is a term that has been bandied around everywhere over the past few years but what does it actually mean and how does it impact the built environment? We spoke to 3 companies active in the sector to find out the latest technologies available to improve productivity and comfort in smart buildings.
Ushering A New Era of Construction Possibilities Through Augmented Reality (AR)
Being a labour intensive industry, it is not surprising that the construction industry is one of the least digitised sectors globally. It lags behind other industries in adopting new digital innovations and technology, and as a result, construction labour productivity is often found wanting.
Upcoming Trends To Improve Building Efficiency In Asia
Singapore has committed to reduce its Emissions Intensity (EI) by 36% from 2005 levels by 2030. In order to meet this target, it is paramount to ensure that buildings become more efficient as they account for about one-third of Singapore’s total electricity consumption.
