About Green Building Initiatives
Launched last year in March 2012, the Ministry of Development has taken the initiative to launch the Green Building Initiatives to highlight the significance of Green Building by applying "greener" approaches to the Ministry of Development Building and several buildings of the Departments under the Ministry, such as Public Works Department. The Ministry is adopting the Green Building Initiatives by taking simple steps such as increasing the temperature of the air cooling system in the buildings, setting the air conditioners to 23°C and at Public Works Department itself, the Department has adopted a "No Lift Day" for every Saturdays to save energy and reminding the staffs to switch off their electrical appliances before leaving the office and when not in use.
Through this website you will be able to view and compare the energy consumption of these various government departments from data that was compiled and accumulated over the last few years.
