Building and Construction Authority eyeing to update regulations

Will now consider reflectivity requirements.

According to Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan, the Building and Construction Authority will soon be updating its building regulation to include reflectivity requirements for all kinds of facade materials. This follows after several feedbacks have been reported regarding the "unwelcome glare from sunlight reflected from metal roof of other buildings" in Singapore.

"One resident said that he has had to wear sunglasses in his own home," said Khaw in his blog.

"This is a useful regulatory update to ensure that new designs do add to the neighbourhood, allowing all residents, users and commuters to enjoy, without causing any inconvenience or hardship to anyone," he added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
