This week on PropertyBT, senior correspondent Leslie Yee sits down with Schneider Electric’s Jackson Seng to unpack the real value of green buildings, from energy savings and tenant wellbeing to rental premiums and the risk of stranded assets. 

They explore whether retrofitting can trump redevelopment, how Singapore stacks up globally, and why sustainability is becoming a business imperative rather than a buzzword. 

If the future is green, what will it take for every building to get there?
