Singapore from 14-16
September at
the Suntec Singapore International
Convention & Exhibition Centre, BEX Asia 2011 will

and technologies for environmental sustainability by some 250

Amongst the line-up
of local innovators is green technology company Green Koncepts
which will be launchingKoncepts Energy
Management, the first cloud-based energy management
system in Singapore at BEX Asia 2011.
Koncepts Energy
Management offers real-time energy
intelligence and control through a simple web-based User Interface
delivered via a Cloud Based Framework. This provides enterprises
and building owners across various industry sectors with
visibility, in-depth analytics and the capability to manage and
optimize their energy usage. They will also be able to create
energy policies that increase business profits while meeting their
environmental sustainability goals. For the first time, Green
Koncepts' energy dashboard will be used to monitor and measure
energy usage live at the Singapore Pavilion at BEX Asia
2011.
Said Mr. Kenneth
Lee, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Green Koncepts, "With a
cloud-based energy management system, businesses will be able to
have a global view of their carbon dashboard without having to
incur high set-up costs traditionally associated with such systems.
The data collected can also be used to analyze consumption
patterns, develop energy-saving strategies as well as eliminate
wasted energy from sources such as always-on devices or
malfunctioning equipment."
Said Ms. Louise
Chua, Project Director, BEX Asia 2011, "This powerful energy-saving
solution is just one of the many exciting innovative green
solutions promoting sustainability in the green environment that
visitors can look forward to at BEX Asia 2011. With the plethora of
green solutions being showcased, visitors to the event will be able
to bring themselves up to speed with the latest trends and
developments in the Build Green sector while sourcing for new
business opportunities."
Other local green
companies such as EWINS will present
its GreenCube range of
energy-saving lights including LED lights, induction lights, and T5
fluorescent light tubes.
CVT Solutions, a
leader in green energy and illumination solutions will showcase its
biological lighting solutions as well as
the Natsureturn water
treatment system for agricultural use.
Mr. Gerald Yeh,
General Manager, CVT Solutions, said, "With growing interest in
green solutions for urban landscapes, BEX Asia provides an ideal
platform for us to showcase our latest biological lighting and
water treatment solutions. We have been participating in BEX Asia
for the last two years and are very pleased with the leads
generated. We look forward to another fruitful participation this
year."
Local laminate
provider Admira will feature its latest environmentally-friendly
range of high pressure laminate surfaces. These include concrete
screed-like surfaces, 3D illusion laminates that can mimic the
effects of wave contours as well as the application of back
lighting to realistic marble stone-like laminates.
In addition to local
green warriors, established players in the industry will also be
offering their own green solutions.
Philips Lighting
will be showcasing the Power Balance and Luxspace compact High
Efficacy LED-based solutions and also the Philips Dynalite lighting
controls that can help achieve up to 50 percent energy efficiencies
for the green office. Approximately 40 percent of all the
electricity used in buildings comes from lighting with a large part
built around current lighting infrastructure that is based on
older, less energy-efficient lighting technology. By retrofitting
old lighting infrastructures in existing or installing LED-based
solutions in new offices, property and business owners can take
immediate steps to reduce energy-consumption and provide
sustainable lighting solutions.
Trane, the leading
global provider of indoor comfort systems and solutions, will
showcase its Earthwise
HVACsystem which reduces total cost of ownership with
both a lower first cost and reduced ongoing operating costs. The
system reduces relative humidity in the building, improves indoor
air quality, requires less space and less energy to run, is
substantially quieter than traditional applied systems and has
optimized control algorithms for sustainable
performance.
BEX Asia 2011 will
also include a Guest Speakers' Programme on the show floor, where
renowned foreign architects will share insights on topics such as
sustainable design and development as well as changing mindsets and
trends on Build Green.
Other highlights of
the event include the Building & Construction Authority (BCA)
Pavilion where exemplary Green Mark projects and information on the
various Green Mark incentives that have been introduced by BCA to
promote sustainable buildings and spaces beyond buildings will be
featured.
BEX Asia 2011 will
be held concurrently with the International Green Building
Conference (IGBC 2011) themed, "Build Green. Act Now".
