  • Saint Nicolas Girls School visits SinBerBEST

    On July 14th, 2023, SinBerBEST was visited by 40 students from the Saint Nicolas Girls Secondary. During the tour of the SinBerBEST, the students were engaged on topics such as Photovoltaics, commercial and residential air conditioning systems, hybrid cooling and energy/cost savings. It was a joy to host the excellent students; we hope it was a great learning experience for them.

  • SinBerBEST on CNA's Talking Point: "What Is The Best Temperature To Set My Air-Conditioner?"

    In July 2023, SinBerBEST was featured on an episode of CNA's Talking Point series asking the question, "What Is The Best Temperature To Set My Air-Conditioner?". We were really happy to be a part of the local (and global) conversations on sustainable airconditioning use and building energy efficiency.

Patent for Antenna-embedded Concrete Granted

SinBerBEST Principal Investigators and Postdoctoral Scholars have been granted a patent for creating a process for forming an antenna structure and for embedding an antenna system in concrete. In 2016, Prof. Boon Hee Soong, Prof. Paulo Monteiro, Dr. Vanessa Reinheimer, and Dr. Yee Loon Soong, filed this patent application in order enhance the concrete structure's energy harvesting capabilities for embedded Internet of Things (IoT) applications, but to also significantly improve the overall performance of wireless technologies within buildings. Congratulations!
