Singapore: Energy Smart Buildings Scheme

The Energy Smart Buildings Scheme, developed by the Energy Sustainability Unit (ESU) of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the National Environment Agency (NEA), aims to promote the active management of energy use by according recognition to buildings that are ranked in the top band of the total building cohort using an energy efficiency benchmarking system. Presently, the Scheme is ready for office buildings. The Scheme provides resources such as a national benchmarking system, an online assessment tool and technical guidance on various systems performance for building owners’ and managements’ easy adoption and use. The Scheme offers performance indicators and energy efficiency targets as management tools for performance tracking and improvements.
