Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 5: Don Wee on transition to a low-carbon built environment
Buildings account for over 20 per cent of Singapore’s carbon emissions. How does the Ministry of National Development intend to expedite the transition to a low-carbon built environment and in particular, reduce the carbon footprint of older buildings? What is the outcome of a review on whether to require building owners to conduct energy audits to improve the energy performance of their buildings and, if it goes ahead, will smaller building owners get any Government assistance? MP Don Wee asked these questions in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 2).
