Course Overview
The launch of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 by the Singapore government highlights the importance of galvanising a whole-of-nation movement to advance Singapore's national agenda on sustainable development. Super Low Energy buildings are crucial to attaining Singapore's green building and net zero carbon goals.
This compact training programme shares fundamental concepts, principles, and strategies on how to create Super Low Energy buildings – buildings which are exceptionally energy and resource efficient and environmentally responsible as well.
Course Objectives
This energy management training programme is designed to take generalists and specialists on an invigorating energy efficiency journey. The training starts by building a foundational understanding of energy use, energy management and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) principles. It then delves into more technical matters on energy consuming systems and the strategies for energy savings. Extensive case studies will be discussed throughout the session to enhance learning.
Whether you are seasoned professional looking for a more well-rounded understanding of energy management, an M&E design engineer tasked with designing efficient building M&E systems or a building facility engineer/manager looking to acquire a more technical understanding of energy efficiency, this course will prove a valuable training experience.
