A smarter, more sustainable indoor climate starts at 25°C. Join us in setting the right temperature and adopting optimal cooling practices for comfort and impact.

Why 25°C Matters

In Singapore’s tropical climate, overcooling has become the norm — driving up energy use, utility costs and even worsening the urban heat island effect. The Go 25 movement, co-organised by the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) with the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE), and supported by NEA and BCA, encourages setting indoor temperatures to 25°C as a smart first step toward more sustainable cooling.

As we make the transition toward 25°C, one reality stands out: temperature alone isn’t enough. In our humid climate, moisture in the air shapes comfort, energy efficiency and mould risk far more than most people realise. Without proper humidity control, spaces can feel stuffy at 25°C. This is why humidity control is emerging as the missing piece of sustainable cooling. Maintaining roughly 50% relative humidity helps people feel comfortable at higher temperatures, reduces mould risk and supports better indoor air quality. Discover the science and system design behind humidity management and find out why humidity control is essential for the Go 25 movement.

To help industry make this transition, SGBC has also launched the Go 25 Industry Guide for facilities managers and building operators with the know-how to begin implementation of an indoor air-conditioned temperature that is as close to 25°C as possible.

Achieving sustainably cooled spaces calls for both temperature and humidity to be treated with intention. With the right approach, 25°C becomes the sweet spot for comfort and sustainability.
