Gov’t launches sustainable indoor air-conditioning initiative

It encourages sustainable cooling by setting indoor air-conditioning at 25°C.

The Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) launched the Go 25 initiative to encourage sustainable cooling by setting indoor air-conditioning at 25°C.

A study, in partnership with Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Centre for Environmental Sustainability, showed energy savings of up to 12% for each degree raised in air-conditioning temperatures from 23°C to 25°C in offices.

Additional energy savings can be achieved when air-conditioning temperatures are set above 25°C.

In line with this, the government also introduced the Go 25 Pledge—a voluntary industry commitment to sustainable cooling.

This initiative urges concerned entities to commit to setting indoor temperatures at 25°C or higher, adjusting temperature gradually to ease the transition for occupants, and
providing cooling alternatives.

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.
