The race to Net Zero - for commercial buildings in Singapore (Colliers)

Globally and especially in Singapore, the race to Net Zero has long begun. Like running any race, the motivation and plan must be clear. This paper lays out the urgency and steps to win this race for both commercial real estate owners and occupiers.

Net Zero buildings enhance resilience to energy supply disruptions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Although there may be initial costs, long-term savings through reduced energy expenses and increased property value are significant benefits. Net Zero buildings also offer a healthier and more productive environment for tenants, leading to higher occupancy rates and rents.

Finally, a couple of case studies demonstrate the potential savings for typical landlords and occupiers in the commercial space from optimising energy use (without additional capital expenditures) through simulation-based solutions; adopting the smart scheduling of energy use can lead to substantial cost and emission reductions.
