Introduction:
Singapore’s Building Control Act has introduced a Mandatory Energy Improvement (MEI) regime targeting energy-intensive buildings. Starting in Q3 2025, buildings that do not meet new energy efficiency standards face fines up to S$150,000. This new regulation aims to curb significant energy wastage and reduce carbon emissions in the built environment.
Understanding the New Regime:
The MEI regime focuses on existing buildings that have high energy consumption, specifically those in the commercial, healthcare, institutional, and sports/recreation sectors with a gross floor area of 5,000 square meters or more.
These buildings, if classified as energy-intensive, will need to conduct energy audits and implement measures to cut energy use by at least 10%. Building owners can also explore government schemes, such as the Green Mark Incentive Scheme for Existing Buildings 2.0, to access financial support for energy retrofits, making compliance more affordable.
