Azendian celebrated sustainability leaders and initiatives amongst 600 attendees at the Singapore Green Building Council Gala Dinner 2024 on 6 June 2024. Azendian Solutions‘ Founder and CEO Bill Lee hosted a table comprising partners, customers and friends.
The Singapore Mechanical & Electrical Carbon Calculator (MECC) was also officially at the event in the presence of guest-of-honour Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Finance and Second Minister for National Development.
Developed by the Energy Studies Institute and JTC Corporation, in close collaboration with the Building and Construction Authority and SGBC, the MECC builds on the Singapore Building Carbon Calculator (SBCC) launched in June 2023. While the SBCC focuses on computing the embodied carbon emissions of building materials in building project, the MECC expands this scope to encompass both the embodied and operational carbon impact of mechanical and electrical (M&E) equipment and services. These include chillers, air handling units, lighting fixtures, cables, pipes, photovoltaic modules and other M&E engineering building products.
A perk being part of the tech community located in the Innovation hub at the BCA Braddell Campus is participation in Technology Exchanges organised as networking sessions with specific technology themes to raise awareness on ready-for-market solutions.
The BCA Braddell Campus connects like-minded individuals, showcases innovative technologies, and transfers knowledge to drive development and adoption of I&T in the Built Environment.
Bill Lee, Azendian Solutions Founder & CEO, presented at the Technology Exchange and Networking Session last Friday which was centred on Integrated Smart FM. The exchange, jointly organised by Building and Construction Authority and Singapore International Facility Management Association, showcased cutting-edge facilities management solutions with potential for productivity savings created by systems integration. It attracted a strong turn-out of more than 200 participants.
The tech exchange and networking event allowed Azendian to showcase its AI-driven estate solution which is an ASEAN Energy Award recipient and the first and only certified enterprise under Singapore Green Building Council’s Smart Digital Platform. 
More than 150 million tonnes of plastic are estimated to have been dumped in the world’s oceans, with about 8 million tonnes added every year. These plastics can take hundreds of years to biodegrade completely. What we do matters. Azendeans turned beachcombers to do their bit for the environment by collecting litter at East Coast Park on 15 March 2024.
“What we do matters in the community. Even in the simple act of beach cleaning, we are reminding our people at Azendian that we can impact our environment positively, whether as an individual or a team. We want to grow the awareness of sustainability as a lifestyle, at work or play, and that it is about choices we make and act on,” said CEO & Founder Bill Lee.
