Newsletter - 2023 - 4 (October - December)
How did different governments react to improve energy efficient projects, and to reach their promised environmental goals for 2030?
Explore here - in this newsletter - 3 examples for laws actions and incentives for supporting energy efficient green buildings:
1- Tax Deduction in the USA
2- Polices to Accelerate Market Adoption of New Technologies - India Case
3- Circularity as a City Target - Singapore “City in a Garden”

1- Tax Deduction and Federal Funds in the USA . Different act were designed for various types of companies, and present tremendous opportunities for implementing energy-efficient upgrades, such as new interior lighting systems. |
|
2- Polices to Accelerate Market Adoption of New Technologies - India Case . By adopting new technologies in building construction to reach latest energy codes, e.g. ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC which are in continuous upgrading, countries are building massive constructions with minimum power plant addition. |
|
3- Circularity as a City Target - Singapore “City in a Garden” . Singapore’s population density and natural resource constraints have accelerated the government’s adoption of innovative resource- and energy-efficiency measures. The result is a sustainable and nature-positive built environment that minimizes resource use. Going beyond the “City in a Garden”, Singapore now envisions a “City in Nature”, that will require holistic planning and implementation to further integrate ecosystems with sustainable infrastructure in urban areas (Singapore, Public Service Division 2020). |
