Why a Career in Sustainability for the Built Environment?
Did you know that buildings account for over 20% of emissions in Singapore?
Amid a nationwide push for sustainability, ambitious targets to green the built environment sector have been set under the latest edition of the Singapore Green Building Masterplan (SGBMP). The goal is to green 80 per cent of buildings by gross floor area (GFA) by 2030, promote low energy standards and achieve 80% energy efficiency in best-in-class green buildings.
Against this backdrop, the demand for professionals with skills in sustainability to support organisations in their green transformation is on the rise. The career prospects span across roles which require sustainability knowledge and skills for example HR, IT, Project Managers etc.
Sustainability in the built environment involves designing and managing buildings and infrastructure to minimise their environmental impact while creating healthy, livable, and resilient communities.
This is achieved through efficient use of resources, reducing waste and emissions, promoting renewable energy, and enhancing the well-being of occupants.
