Summary Reader's Response Final

According to the article “Super Low Energy Building Technology Roadmap” (Building Construction Authority, 2021), Building Construction Authority (BCA) has collaborated with many agencies to work towards the goal of making 80% of Singapore’s buildings environmentally friendly. Around S$45 million has been invested into 70 environmentally friendly R&D buildings to maximise energy efficiency in the nation. BCA mentions that funding provided has aided in the development of “several disruptive technologies such as reinventing air conditioning to cool buildings in the tropics”. Innovations such as highly effective desiccant membranes and passive displacement ventilation systems contribute to energy savings of more than 40% on air conditioning alone. Piloting projects to apply R&D results to reality are also encouraged by BCA, through creating a real-world building setting to illustrate the impact and actualise energy efficiency potential of several developing technologies. Hence, B
