IBEW Expert Series: Today’s Professional, Tomorrow’s Expert

With sessions addressing cutting-edge Digitalisation, Construction, and Sustainability trends, the Expert Series is ideal for those looking to navigate regional challenges and embrace emerging solutions.

Notable sessions include:

Session 1.4: Enhancing Prefab Efficiency

Andrew Dewdney of Kier UK takes you through the innovative prefabrication strategies used on HMP Millsike, the UK’s first all-electric prison under the Ministry of Justice’s Alliance 4 New Prisons Programme. Learn how advanced off-site manufacturing, modular assembly, and digital coordination boosted construction efficiency by over 25% compared to conventional methods, while overcoming challenges in a high-security, remote setting.

Session 2.6: Retrolift, Reuse, Rebuild - Choosing the Right Strategy to Enhance Your Assets

Explore strategies for asset enhancement as buildings age. This panel discusses retrofitting, adaptive reuse, and rebuilds, sharing experiences and best practices to maximise asset value while addressing sustainability challenges. 

Session 2.2: Sharing on Mandatory Energy Improvement (MEI) Regime

The new MEI regime is designed to reduce energy consumption in existing energy-intensive buildings. In this session, delegates will discover how the regime requires building owners to perform energy audits and implement efficiency improvement measures. These initiatives promise long-term cost savings and support Singapore’s transition to a low-carbon built environment, contributing to the nation’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Session 2.12: Success Stories from the Green Building Innovation Cluster

Join IBEW as they showcase inspiring success stories from the Green Building Innovation Cluster programme. Learn how innovative strategies have transformed buildings into efficient, sustainable powerhouses, driving energy efficiency and sustainability across the built environment.
