Low Carbon Transition Operations Challenge

Donor Name: CapitaLand

Reference URL:https://www.capitaland.com/en/our-impact/sustainability/csxc/challenge-statements/low-carbon-transition.html

The Low Carbon Transition Operations Challenge, run by CapitaLand Group, invites startups and small and medium-sized enterprises to propose pilot-ready technologies that generate clean energy on site or reduce energy use in existing buildings while improving building heat resilience.

Existing buildings can have limited space for clean-energy installations, varying access to renewable resources, and different building and energy-management systems. Site constraints and existing efficiency levels can also make further energy improvements costly, while varied conditions and occupancy make indoor thermal comfort difficult to optimise.

Solutions may address on-site clean-energy generation, lower building energy consumption, or heat resilience. Opportunity areas include waste-heat recovery, building-integrated or modular solar photovoltaics, rooftop solar combined with farming, efficient heating, ventilation and air-conditioning and lighting, and energy management.

Proposals should preserve occupant comfort, fit within limited installation space, demonstrate measurable carbon reductions and auditable energy data, offer financial benefits relative to cost, and be implementable with minimal disruption to business operations. Solutions must be ready to pilot at Technology Readiness Level 8 or above, with proof of implementation.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old and be a startup or a small or medium-sized enterprise. Multinational corporations, CapitaLand or Padang & Co employees, people directly involved in organising or judging the Challenge, and their immediate family members are not eligible. Submissions must be the participants’ original work and must not infringe others’ rights.
