PETALING JAYA: Build Eco Xpo (BEX) Asia is a three-day event of knowledge building, information exchange and dialogue on the latest in green building and energy-efficient technologies.

Taking place from Sep 12 to 14 (Tuesday to Thursday), Build Eco Expo (BEX) Asia is co-located with Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) Asia. Over 450 international solution providers will come together to showcase their innovations at the two events.

“BEX and MCE Asia are the ideal platforms to galvanise the Asian green building, HVAC-R, water, energy and heating communities into action towards sustainable development,” said the World Green Building Council’s (WorldGBC) Board of Directors Chair, Tai Lee Siang in a statement.

“Though green building adoption is accelerating in Asia, the rate of change is not fast enough as the average green building penetration rate is only 10%. The green building industry, governments, and consumers need to join hands to tackle the problem of climate change quickly and decisively,” elaborated Tai.

An array of innovations

The trade floor will showcase an exciting range of innovative development amongst Asia’s building developers, engineers and architects.

An innovative curated feature by Surbana Jurong, titled Life in the Time of Climate Change, will highlight how sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a lifestyle. The feature will integrate building and sustainable innovations in a house. Within the house, participating companies will demonstrate the contribution of smart technologies towards improving the environment.

Smart and intelligent systems will take centerstage throughout the show floor with solutions such as
Internet of Things-enabled devices and systems, autonomous sensors, applications and software.

Furthering knowledge exchange

BEX and MCE Asia will both feature series of complementary seminars, Green View and Mostra Xchange, comprising 40 expert speakers.

BEX Asia’s Green View seminars will focus on issues pertinent to the green building industry followed by discussions that will be led by experts from renowned organisations across the world. The key session highlights and speakers will touch on issues such as innovative HVAC strategies, smart lighting technologies and their value-added applications, iconic green buildings in Asia as well as perspectives and strategies for creating sustainable, functional and aesthetic living spaces.

Seminars at Mostra Xchange will focus on HVAC-R, water and solar energy industries. Discussions at Mostra Xchange will be led by experts and cover issues such as energy-saving hospitals, air filtration technology, challenges of energy-efficient buildings, and computer air filter performance simulation.

BEX Asia will be running from Sep 12 to 14(Tuesday to Thursday) at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre during the Singapore Green Building Week (SGBW) 2017. The event expects to attract green building experts, industry professionals, policymakers and end-users.
