Singapore Green Building Week has opened its doors today, anchored by Build Eco Xpo (BEX) Asia, Southeast Asia’s trade exhibition for the region’s green building market, and Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) Asia, a regional HVAC-R*, water and energy exhibition.
BEX and MCE Asia, along with the annual International Green Building Conference (IGBC), offer a platform for deliberating the future of green buildings and sustainable development in the region and globally. Over 12,000 international visitors, including green building industry professionals, thought leaders, policy makers and end-users are expected to congregate at the events to discuss and exchange ideas on the innovations that will shape the future of sustainable cities.
With the theme, Build Green: Build Smart. Build Communities, IGBC 2018 attracts participants from across the entire building and construction value-chain, committed to understanding and putting into action real-world, tangible and leading green building solutions.
A highlight of the showfloor this year is Surbana Jurong’s City of ____. Depicting the possibilities that technology can bring to future cities, the setup brings to life an environment that integrates sustainable, smart and productive technologies to transform how humans interact with their surroundings. The life-sized urban mockup will allow visitors to visualise how spaces associated with living, work and play can be reimagined to bring about an improvement in quality of life.
Walking through the simulated city grid, visitors will witness firsthand the benefits offered by DVUCA’s city management system, which enables better traffic monitoring and optimised energy usage. The exhibit also showcases different technologies such as Thinkphi’s solar panel-equipped outdoor umbrellas.
Advancing its Quality Air for Life message, Panasonic is showcasing the latest integrated air solutions, including Internet of Things solutions for boutique hotels.

In its next edition, BEX and MCE Asia will be complemented by two new flagship events - Innobuild (IB) Asia and Smart Cities & Buildings (SCB) Asia. SCB Asia will focus on digital convergence of solutions and technology into the built environment. The role of technology in transforming the building and construction industry will be further underlined with IB Asia, which will look at how companies can tap on productive technologies, equipment and systems to build more efficiently.
“Clearly, as technology advancements disrupt industries across the world, the built environment sector in Asia will not be spared. Nations are also accelerating their journeys to become smart cities, proving that technology is already playing a crucial role in helping to solve today’s urban challenges and securing a sustainable future for generations to come,” said Michelle Lim, MD, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, Reed Exhibitions.
